About Our Sacramento Drywall Company

A Sacramento Drywall Company Works on Two Kinds of Wall

Most cities hand a drywall company one kind of house. Sacramento hands a drywall company two, and they aren't the same trade at all. The pre-war grid is real plaster over wood lath, and everything built after the war is board. Plaster behaves nothing like board, and repairing a section of it calls for different material and different tools. Sacramento Expert Drywall works on both, which is the only sensible way to be a drywall company in this city.

That matters more here than it would almost anywhere else, because there is so much of the older stock still standing. In a lot of cities the pre-war houses are a few streets a contractor can quietly ignore. In Sacramento they're a large part of the core, and plenty of outfits will price an old plaster wall as though it were board, because board is the only wall they work on. What that gets you is a flat modern patch sitting in a hundred-year-old wall, and you'll pick it out from the doorway every time you walk past it.

So the first thing we do is place the wall, and you'll hear which one you've got before any price comes up. An older plaster room gets a plaster answer, and most of the time that means a repair rather than a replacement. A newer room gets a drywall answer, which is mostly a question of what moved the wall and what texture is on the rest of it. Either way you'll know what you're dealing with before you agree to anything.

Where We Do Drywall Work Around Sacramento

The city itself is most of it, the older grid included. After that it's Carmichael, Fair Oaks, Orangevale, Citrus Heights and Rancho Cordova out to the east, with Folsom at the end of that run. Then Elk Grove to the south, Antelope to the north, West Sacramento across the river, and Roseville and Rocklin up in Placer County. Nothing on that list carries anything extra for distance. If you don't see your town there, call and ask, because it's a list of where the work tends to come from rather than a line we won't cross.

What Happens When We Come and Look at Your Drywall

Somebody comes and looks at the wall. That means a person standing in the room working out what's actually going on, rather than a photo turned into a price or a range read off a list. You'll hear what we've found before any figure gets discussed, and that's the reason the price you hear at the start is usually the price at the end.

The visit is free and it stays free whatever you decide, with no call-out fee sitting behind it. If you already have a quote from somebody else and you'd like a second pair of eyes on it, that's a perfectly good reason to call.

A fair number of the walls we're asked to look at turn out to be fine. A hairline that opens in the winter and closes again in the summer is usually doing what it's supposed to do. Some cracks belong to a builder's warranty, some come from a drainage problem outside the house, and some are nothing at all. You'll hear that while it can still save you a job, rather than after an invoice has been written. Knowing your wall is sound is worth the phone call on its own.
