Professional Drywall Repair for Homes and Businesses

Damaged drywall can take away from your home’s appearance and affect your entire painting project. At Wayne White Painting, we provide professional drywall repair services in Elizabeth City NC and the surrounding areas. Whether it's a small hole, a water-damaged ceiling, or an entire room that needs resurfacing, our team delivers smooth, seamless repairs that restore your walls and ceilings to like-new condition.



We handle drywall problems of all sizes and types—from patching minor dents to replacing full panels. Every repair is done with attention to structure, appearance, and paint readiness, so your surfaces are clean, flat, and prepped for finishing.

Why Drywall Repair Is Essential Before Painting

Staining may seem like a simple job, but getting it right requires proper prep, product knowledge, and application technique. Poorly applied stain can look blotchy, wear out quickly, or fail to protect the wood underneath.


Our team uses professional-grade products and proven techniques to ensure an even finish and strong barrier against the elements. We carefully assess each surface to determine the best type of stain—transparent, semi-transparent, or solid—and apply it with attention to detail and durability.

Our Drywall Repair Process

We take a methodical, results-driven approach to every drywall repair. Here’s what you can expect when you hire Wayne White Painting:

1

Assessment and Estimate

We inspect the damaged areas and offer a clear, honest quote. For large jobs, we evaluate the full room to ensure a consistent final result.

2

Cutting and Patching

For holes or water damage, we cut out the affected drywall and install clean patches. For smaller issues, we fill and reinforce the area.

3

Taping and Mud Application

We apply drywall tape over seams or patches and multiple coats of joint compound, feathered outward for a smooth transition.

4

Sanding and Smoothing

Once dry, we sand the surface to a flat, even finish, matching the surrounding wall or ceiling texture as needed.

5

Texturing (Optional)

If the surrounding area is textured—knockdown, orange peel, or another style—we apply matching texture for a seamless look.

6

Primer and Paint-Ready Finish

We apply primer to prepare the repaired surface for painting, either as part of our painting service or for your own project.

We complete every step with clean tools, proper ventilation, and care for your home or business.

Popcorn Ceiling Removal and Repair

Popcorn ceilings are outdated and difficult to clean. We offer full popcorn ceiling removal and resurfacing services, leaving you with a smooth, modern ceiling ready for fresh paint.



Our team carefully covers floors and furniture, removes the texture, patches any damaged areas, and smooths the ceiling before priming. The result is a flat, attractive ceiling that adds value and visual appeal to your space.
