“His drywall patches are seamless.”
— Verified Customer Review
Drywall damage happens in every home. A doorknob punches through a wall, a pipe leaks and stains the ceiling, settling cracks creep along a corner seam, or kids put a hole through their bedroom wall. Whatever the cause, damaged drywall is one of those things you notice every single time you walk into the room — and it makes even a freshly painted space look neglected. At George Aubrey Painting, drywall repair and plaster patching have been core parts of our service offering for decades, and our customers consistently tell us that our patches are seamless.
We handle every type of drywall and plaster repair: small nail and screw holes, medium-sized damage from doorknobs or furniture, large holes that require cutting out sections and installing new drywall pieces, cracks along seams and around windows, water-stained and water-damaged areas, and sagging or failing drywall ceilings. Ceiling work is a particular specialty — repairing damaged drywall ceilings requires careful technique to ensure the weight of the new material is properly supported and the seams are perfectly finished so they are completely invisible.
Many of the older homes in Delaware County, the Main Line, and surrounding areas still have original plaster walls and ceilings. We have extensive experience repairing and patching plaster using compatible plaster materials and techniques that bond properly to the existing surface. We do not simply skim over plaster problems with joint compound; we address the underlying issue so the repair lasts for the long term.
Every drywall repair we perform includes complete finishing: joint compound application, sanding, texture matching to your existing walls, priming, and painting. When we leave, you should not be able to find the spot where the repair was made. That level of invisible craftsmanship is what four generations of experience delivers. And because we are already a painting company, we seamlessly integrate drywall repair with your larger painting project — or handle it as a standalone service. PA HIC #PA055520.
