Drywall repair for McHenry homes
McHenry's walls span a century. The older homes near Green Street and Riverside Drive mix original plaster with drywall from generations of remodels — repairs there are about blending eras so the wall reads as one surface. Lakeland Park and McHenry Shores ranches carry sixty years of patches and tape seams. Legend Lakes and the newer west side work through standard settling cracks. And the whole town shares the Fox River winters: ice dams, roof leaks, and the ceiling stains they leave behind every thaw.
We patch each material the right way — plaster stabilized, drywall cut out and replaced, stains sealed with blocking primer — and then do the painter's half that makes the repair disappear: texture match, prime, and paint blended to a natural break. One crew, one visit, no second contractor. Free estimates and a callback within 24 hours.

Drywall repair in McHenry — common questions
My older McHenry home has plaster walls with cracks. Do you repair plaster or just drywall?+
Both. Plaster cracks need to be stabilized rather than just filled, and patches where plaster meets newer drywall have to be blended so the two eras read as one wall. We do that work regularly in the older housing near downtown, and we finish it through paint so the repair is genuinely invisible.
Ice took out a section of our ceiling this winter. Can you replace it?+
Yes — once the roof issue is handled and everything is dry, we cut out the damaged board, replace it, tape and mud the seams, match the ceiling texture, and paint to a uniform finish. We replace what's actually ruined rather than talking you into a whole new ceiling.
