The New Year is upon us and most people are going to get their home back on a normal schedule and make any repairs to get the house ready for a fresh start to the New Year. This is a wonderful time of year to get your house in order and fix those pesky drywall holes that have been building up all year long. The question becomes should you take care of the drywall repairs yourself or hire a professional to do it for you. DIY projects are all the rage but you should really leave the DIY to crafting and simple household jobs. When it comes to the drywall repairs, installation and replacement you really want to let a professional do the job for you and Jeff the Painter has reasons why it is such a great idea.

Must Have Drywall Tools

Part of the repair that needs to be done will require equipment that the average household does not have. That also means that the homeowner has no experience with that tool and won’t be able to use them properly. The equipment that is used is important to the outcome of the job and the look of the final product.

Drywall Installer & Finisher Experience

This is where a professional will obviously outweigh a DIY project. The professional will have experience in making the drywall patches correctly and leaving them looking amazing. One of the hardest parts about doing a drywall patch is making sure that the patch can’t be seen. You want to be sure that the finished project can be hidden and blends with the rest of the wall. This takes time and experience that a professional can bring to the table. The patch is done by prepping and sanding the area down. Installing the patch and adding some texture to match the wall. Then following up with a coat of paint to match. The steps seem easy but a bad patch job sticks out like a sore thumb.

Time to Install, Repair or Finish Drywall

The best part about hiring a professional is that you don’t have to use your own time figuring out what you need to do and going to a home improvement store to purchase the equipment and tools that you might need. The amount of time that it takes you to make the repairs can seem like forever and you may not be happy with the final product. A professional can come out and take care of it for you and have it looking great the first time around.
