Drywall Services

Mellados Painters is a painting company in Austin. We repair and finish drywall. Holes, cracks, dents, and bad seams. Drywall is the step before paint, and a wall that is not fixed right shows every flaw once the color goes on. Here is how to read what your walls need.

A small hole gets patched, a soft wet panel gets replaced

The size and cause of the damage decide the fix. A doorknob dent or nail hole gets patched and sanded flush. But a panel that is soft, crumbling, or stained from water usually has to come out, because the gypsum inside has failed. Pressing a spot that gives way like wet cardboard means patching will not hold.

Cracks over doors and windows come back if you only fill them

Cracks that run from the corners of doors and windows are stress cracks from the house shifting. Just filling them lets the crack return in a season. They need tape or mesh over the joint so the repair holds through the next shift. A hairline crack in the same spot every year is telling you it was never really fixed.

Popped nails and ridged seams show through fresh paint

Bad drywall finishing shows up worst after painting. Nail heads that push out, seams that ridge, and rough tape lines all catch the light once a smooth color coat goes on. Fixing them means resetting fasteners and re-floating the joint, not just painting over the bump. This is why we fix walls before we paint, and it feeds straight into our interior painting. We handle drywall across Austin and nearby neighborhoods.

We are responsible, we do quality work, and we keep you first, from the first patch to the final coat.
