Not cosmetic filler — actual repair. We cut the damage out to clean drywall, cut a patch to fit, re-tape the seams, mud in three coats sanded between each, and hand off a primer-ready surface. Licensed and insured. 15 years across Broward County.
The honest truth about drywall repair in Plantation: Water damage, settling cracks, and storm leaks are everyday issues in Plantation. Cosmetic filler shows through paint within months — you'll see the patch, the seam, and a hairline returning by the second year.

What we learned in 15 years: A patch that disappears and a crack that stays closed come from cutting back to clean drywall — not from filling over the damage.
We've worked across Plantation's neighborhoods for over 15 years. Each area has its quirks:
Plantation isn't a typical inland city — and painting here isn't typical either. Here's what we watch for:
In Jacaranda, tree-lined, golf course, family-friendly, homes from 1972+. Storm leaks, settling cracks, and water damage are everyday issues here — cosmetic filler shows through paint within months, with the seam and a hairline returning by the second year.
In Plantation Acres, large lots, rural feel, equestrian-friendly. Not cosmetic filler — actual repair. We cut the damage out to clean drywall, cut a patch to fit, re-tape the seams, and mud in three thin coats sanded between each.
In Pine Island Ridge, established homes with natural areas. Texture matching — orange peel, knockdown, smooth — is the hardest part of any drywall job, and the step most contractors skip. We match it so the repair disappears under paint.
In Central Park, planned community. Storm leaks, settling cracks, and water damage are everyday issues here — cosmetic filler shows through paint within months, with the seam and a hairline returning by the second year.
In Plantation Isles, waterfront canal homes. Not cosmetic filler — actual repair. We cut the damage out to clean drywall, cut a patch to fit, re-tape the seams, and mud in three thin coats sanded between each.
South Florida runs at 60-80% relative humidity year-round, and hurricane season (June through November) drives wind-driven rain into every weak point in a coating. Salt air accelerates chalking on older paint and oxidation on metal trim — the reasons surface prep matters more here than 200 miles inland.
Texture matching — orange peel, knockdown, smooth — is the hardest part of any drywall job, and the step most contractors skip. We match it so the repair disappears under paint. That is why a drywall repair job here that holds up requires the prep and materials most contractors skip.
The honest truth: If someone quotes you a price without visiting the property first — walk away. Every Plantation job is different. Flood zones, HOA rules, building code, and material choices all change the scope. We always come look before we quote.
