Project: Water-damaged drywall ceiling repair
Drywall: 1/2-inch sag-resistant ceiling board with knockdown texture matched to the existing ceiling
Project Size: Approximately 32 sq ft of ceiling drywall replaced, with the full 144 sq ft guest bedroom ceiling repainted
Existing Condition: Stained, sagging ceiling drywall below the attic air handler after a clogged AC condensate drain line overflowed
Approx. Project Cost: $1,250

Project Overview:
After an AC condensate line overflow left a stained, sagging guest bedroom ceiling in their Village of Duval home, Richard and Linda needed a lasting water damage repair. Once their HVAC technician cleared the line, we confirmed the damage with moisture readings and replaced the affected section with sag-resistant ceiling board.

Drywall Partition for a Home Office
Customer: Thomas and Karen Whitfield
Location: Shealy Avenue, Village of Hawkins, The Villages, FL 32163
Project: Drywall partition installation to create a private home office
Drywall: 1/2-inch drywall on both sides over light-gauge metal stud framing, with mineral wool sound insulation
Project Size: Approximately 14 linear feet of full-height partition with one door opening, totaling about 250 sq ft of drywall across both sides
Existing Condition: Open flex area next to the great room with no door, privacy, or sound separation
Approx. Project Cost: $3,800

Project Overview:
Thomas and Karen wanted a private home office carved out of the open flex space in their Village of Hawkins home. We planned a full-height drywall partition with a standard interior door and mineral wool insulation to reduce sound from the great room. Electrical rough-in was coordinated with a licensed electrician, and matched texture would make the new wall look original to the floor plan.
Multi-Room Drywall Repairs Before Listing
Customer: Gary and Susan Mitchell
Location: SE 172nd Legacy Lane, Village of Chatham, The Villages, FL 32162
Project: Residential drywall repair in four rooms
Drywall: Standard 1/2-inch drywall patches, paper and mesh tape, setting-type joint compound, and texture matched to the existing walls
Project Size: Four rooms with eight fastener pops, two settlement cracks above door frames, one doorknob hole, and anchor holes from a removed TV mount
Existing Condition: Cosmetic wall damage from years of everyday wear, settling, and furniture moves
Approx. Project Cost: $950
Scope of Work: Fastener pop re-securing, crack repair with tape and joint compound, doorknob hole patch, anchor hole filling, texture matching, spot priming, and cleanup.
Project Overview:
Before listing their Village of Chatham home, Gary and Susan wanted inspection-ready walls in four rooms. We repaired stress cracks with fresh tape and compound rather than surface filler to reduce the chance of them returning, then patched the remaining holes and fastener pops. Each repair was texture-matched and spot-primed for their painter.
Garage Drywall Installation
Customer: Michael and Janet Pruitt
Location: Abney Avenue, Village of Fenney, The Villages, FL 32163

Project Overview:
Michael and Janet wanted to turn their unfinished Village of Fenney garage into a clean, comfortable hobby workshop. We planned wall insulation to help reduce heat buildup, then hung 5/8-inch Type X fire-rated drywall across the walls and ceiling for added fire resistance in a space with power tools and vehicles. Precise cutouts for the ceiling lights and outlets, plus clean edges around the entry and garage doors, set up a smooth finishing stage. A light orange peel texture and primer would complete the job.
