FAQ
Drywall services: frequently asked questions
Picking the right service for your wall or ceiling.
What drywall services does Great Lakes Drywall offer?
+
Drywall installation, drywall repair, hole and patch repair, crack and seam repair, taping and mudding, finishing to Level 4 or Level 5, ceiling drywall repair, water-damaged drywall repair, popcorn ceiling removal, texture matching, basement drywall, Sheetrock repair and installation, and commercial drywall.
Which service do I need for a hole in my wall?
+
Hole and patch repair. Doorknob holes, foot-through-the-wall damage, and cutouts left by plumbers or electricians all fall under that service.
What is the difference between drywall repair and drywall installation?
+
Repair works into an existing wall or ceiling and has to match the surrounding texture. Installation hangs new board on framing, usually for new construction, an addition, or a full replacement.
Do you handle both residential and commercial drywall?
+
Yes. We run homeowner-direct residential work and commercial buildouts for general contractors, builders, and property managers.
How much does drywall work cost in Illinois?
+
It depends on scope, access, and finish level. We publish detailed ranges on the drywall repair cost and drywall installation cost guides.
Do you offer same-day drywall repair?
+
Yes, for urgent situations such as water damage, sagging ceilings, or holes that need to be closed quickly. Call the branch nearest you.
Can you match my existing ceiling or wall texture?
+
Yes. Texture matching is a dedicated service, covering knockdown, orange peel, skip trowel, popcorn, and smooth finishes.
Do you paint after the drywall work?
+
We finish and prime, and we offer combined drywall repair and painting so you are not coordinating two trades on one wall.
Which service covers ceiling water damage repair?
+
Start with water-damaged drywall repair for the cut-out and drying, then ceiling drywall repair for the board replacement. If the ceiling is textured, water-damaged texture ceiling repair is finished under texture matching so the patch disappears.
What is the difference between a Level 4 and Level 5 drywall finish?
+
A Level 4 drywall finish is the standard for painted walls with flat or low-sheen paint. A Level 5 drywall finish adds a full skim coat, which is what you want under gloss paint or raking light.
