How does drywall get damaged?
Drywall is a pretty tough material that does not sustain major damage on a daily basis. However, throughout its lifetime, it is likely to sustain damage of some sort. Drywall damage can come from a variety of sources and results in different sizes, shapes, or severity of damage. Let's look at the sizes of damage you might encounter and what could cause it:
Small Drywall Damage:
This type of damage is usually aesthetic, may only be visible up close and won't cause any concerns for the structural integrity of your drywall, though it may upset a picky landlord or self-respecting homeowner. Small drywall damage comes from nails used to hang picture frames or drywall screws when mounting a small shelf. |

Medium Drywall Damages:
This damage may come from basic wear and tear, like door handles, chairs, moving furniture or a rowdy child. Again, this damage won't be a structural concern, but it will certainly be noticeable and an eyesore. Our team is well-equipped to fix these repairs and get your walls back into tip-top shape.

Why should you get your drywall repaired?
Other than to make your home look nicer or to appease a landlord, repairs done by a professional drywall company, like Protek Drywall, can help you avoid further troubles in the future. This is especially true when it comes to larger drywall repair jobs. One of the main functions of drywall is to act as a barrier between the inside of your home and everything in between your exterior walls. This means that it keeps cold winds, moisture, and critters from entering your home, a job that becomes much harder when it is full of holes or cracks. Damaged drywall also means that your home will be less energy efficient as your heat or AC escapes through the compromised walls. This can cause a small to drastic raise in your energy bills over time. Let us help you save money by getting those costly drywall repairs completed.

What Does Drywall Cost?
The prospect of hiring a professional drywall repair team does not have to be a scary thought. The cost will vary according to the size and scope of the project. For example, a large-scale drywall installation after a flooded basement will certainly cost a fair bit more than repairing a few drywall holes caused by door handles or furniture.
Factors to consider include:
With all these factors to consider, a drywall installation job might cost anywhere from $1 to $6 per square foot. This translates to anywhere from $600 to $2000 for an average-sized bedroom, $1,000 to $4,000 for a garage or over $5000 for a full basement.

Factors to consider include:
- Location of the drywall installation: is it easy to reach in an attic, a crawlspace, above stairs or a ceiling?
- Texture: adding texture to the drywall can up the price depending on the type of texture, application method and height of the wall or ceiling.
- New installation or replacement: replacing existing drywall requires a bit more work than starting fresh.
- Type of materials: basements might require more mould-resistant drywall, or a garage might have a rougher finish than other rooms. If you choose to use a fire-resistant or energy-efficient style of drywall for your application.
