Drywall Installation & Repair
Professional drywall hanging, taping, seamless patch repairs, and custom texture matching by our in-house craftsmen.
SEAMLESS WALL & CEILING RESTORATION
Drywall Hanging, Patching & Custom Texture Matching.
Whether you are repairing winter water damage, fixing seasonal settling cracks, or finishing a mountain home remodel, great drywall work should be completely invisible once painted. Because our in-house craftsmen handle both drywall and painting under one roof, you never have to coordinate multiple trades. We isolate the workspace to control dust, hang and tape new sheetrock, blend repairs into surrounding textures, and leave every wall ready for prime and paint.

Questions about Drywall Installation & Repair
Can you match my home’s existing wall or ceiling texture?
Yes. Whether your home has Imperfect Smooth, hand-troweled, knockdown, orange peel, or a Level 4 or Level 5 smooth finish, our craftsmen feather and blend repairs into the surrounding surface so the patch disappears once primed and painted.
Can you repair drywall damaged by winter roof leaks, ice dams, or plumbing leaks?
Yes, we regularly restore ceilings and walls damaged by winter ice dams, snowmelt intrusion, or plumbing leaks. Once the underlying roof or plumbing leak has been fully resolved and the framing is dry, our team cuts out the compromised sheetrock, installs and tapes new drywall, matches the surrounding texture, and primes the repair for painting.
Why do drywall cracks and nail pops keep appearing in my mountain home and how do you fix them?
Temperature swings, low indoor humidity, and heavy winter snow loads cause wood framing in Truckee-Tahoe homes to expand and contract, leading to hairline cracks and popped fasteners. Rather than just spackling over the surface, our craftsmen re-secure loose drywall to the studs with new screws, reinforce stress joints with tape, and feather out the repair so it holds up over time.
Do you also prime and paint the drywall after the repair or installation is complete?
Yes. Because our in-house team handles both drywall and painting, you don’t have to coordinate two separate contractors. We seal all new drywall and patches with a high-adhesion primer and can paint the repaired area—or the entire room—for a uniform finish.
Who will be working in my home—and is your drywall work guaranteed?
Every Kelly Brothers Painting crew consists of 100% in-house, full-time craftsmen—never subcontractors. We employ 98 local professionals across Tahoe and Reno with an average company tenure of 8 years, licensed in California (CA Lic. #822843) and Nevada (NV Lic. #68238) and backed by our one-year workmanship guarantee.
