Drywall is the call we field more than any other on the South Plains, and there is a reason. The caliche and clay under Lubbock go through hard freeze-thaw swings and long droughts, so foundations shift just enough to open hairline cracks over your doorways and where the ceiling meets the wall. Add a slammed doorknob or a headboard that met the wall a little too hard, and every home out here eventually needs a patch.
We cut the damage back to something solid, tape and mud in thin layers so it dries flat, then feather the edges and match your texture — orange peel, knockdown, or the flatter finishes newer Lubbock builders use. We prime, touch up the paint if you want, and haul off the dust so the room looks like nothing ever happened.
It is almost always the soil. The ground here swells after a rare wet stretch and shrinks tight in our long dry spells, and that movement flexes the frame. Cracks over doors and along ceiling lines are cosmetic — we repair them so they stop reappearing in the same place.
Yes. The older neighborhoods near campus have hand-troweled and heavier textures that trip up a lot of crews. We mix and knock down by hand to blend into what is already there.
Most single-room patch jobs are a one-visit fix, with a quick return only if a deep repair needs to dry overnight. Tell us the move-in date and we will build the schedule around it.
We bring drywall repair to homes and rentals all over the South Plains — tell us your neighborhood and we're likely already nearby.
Send over a photo and a couple of details, and we'll come back with a firm number and a morning we can be there.
