I’ll cover the most common ceiling textures and some basic information. Skip trowel ceilings are drywall textures with bumpy, uneven surfaces. This ceiling type was first used in the 1950s because it allowed for sound absorption and simple installation using just one coat of joint compound. Skip trowel ceilings might need to be repaired if water damage or plaster falls off. Orange peel ceilings have a high gloss finish with many horizontal grooves. These grooves resemble orange peel skin. As light reflects off the surface, this texture creates shadows on the walls below. This pattern can be made using three or more colors of ceiling paint. Other names for orange peel ceilings are high gloss ceilings and deep horizontal grooves. Drywall absorbs moisture like a sponge. Drywall repair is necessary because it can buckle and swell when wet. This can compromise the integrity of your wall. This causes the underlying structures to be exposed to prolonged moisture, which leads to the decomposition process that eventually destroys the entire system. Drywall is a highly versatile building material. With some knowledge, drywall can be repaired if it has become wet. Use a drywall saw to cut around the damaged drywall. These handsaws can be purchased at a local hardware store for a low price. You should ensure that all drywall is removed by leaving a large margin around the defect. Identify the source of the water. This would be a simple step if outside forces like flooding or rain caused the water. However, it can be more difficult if there are plumbing or roof problems. You should call a professional if you cannot determine the water’s source. Replace wet drywall with dry. Mark a new patch of drywall with a razor blade or drywall saw. Screw into the hole using a screwdriver. Cut out any existing drywall not visible to the wall, and screw it into the hole. Paint – Repaint the entire wall to match the color. The paint may not match the color of your wall 100%, even if it is tinted to match. This will give you a prominent reminder of the damage. You don’t need to paint the whole room, but it is possible to do so to maintain color consistency. We offer the above services at the following locations within West Palm Beach:
