Tracy Drywall

In most homes built today, the interior walls are made of drywall, an easy to install, repair and finish material that has become ubiquitous in home construction. However, for thousands of years before that, people have been finishing their walls with plaster. Traditionally, plaster would be applied on lath, but today some walls are made of plaster applied to a special kind of wall board called blue board. This board bonds with the plaster and creates a really good wall surface. If you're considering building a new custom home, it is most likely you will wind up with drywall for your interior walls, but you might want to consider plaster walls if you like a more traditional experience.

These are some of the reasons why you might have a hole in your ceiling. I know. It might sound like this is something that you can fix.

With most drywall repairs, you do not have to replace an entire sheet of drywall or cut it from stud to stud to repair the damage. The smaller the damage is, the easier and cheaper it is to fix.

A/C units need to be properly maintained to work efficiently. When the mercury rises, your A/C unit works harder. The harder and longer it stays on means that the probability of it breaking gets higher. It can get clogged and the overflow pan can overflow onto your drywall. For example: Is the leak under your Air Conditioning unit? Your plumbing is old or malfunctioning and small leaks have started to show up on your drywall.
