Drywall & Plaster Repair in Lebanon, TN
There's a certain pride folks around Lebanon take in their walls, whether they're original plaster in a home near the square or fresh drywall in a subdivision off Highway 109, and nothing spoils that pride quite like a crack creeping across the ceiling. We patch holes, mend corners, repair water-stained spots, and blend texture so carefully that guests at your next gathering will never know anything happened.
Older homes around downtown Lebanon often carry real plaster over lath, which asks for a gentler hand than modern drywall, and we're glad to say we know the difference. We take our time on the finish work — taping, mudding, sanding, and priming — because a repair only counts if it disappears.
What the job covers
- Drywall hole and crack patching
- Plaster repair on lath in older homes
- Water-damage cutout and replacement
- Ceiling crack and seam repair
- Texture matching and blending
- Prime and paint-ready finishing
A word from around here: Lebanon's mix runs from pre-war plaster homes near the historic square to fast-built drywall in Hamilton Springs and Spence Creek, and both settle in our clay-and-limestone soil. We repair settlement cracks with that movement in mind so the fix holds through the seasons.
Folks often ask
Can you repair real plaster, or only drywall?
Yes ma'am, we work on both. Many homes near downtown Lebanon still have plaster over wood lath, and we stabilize loose sections, patch with appropriate materials, and blend the finish rather than tearing out walls that have stood for a century.
My ceiling has a water stain — can you just paint over it?
We'd rather do right by you and check the drywall first. If the material is soft or sagging we cut out the bad section, replace it, then seal the stain with a proper primer so it never bleeds back through your fresh paint.
Will the patch match my wall texture?
That's the whole aim of the job. We match orange peel, knockdown, or the smooth finishes common in older Lebanon homes, then feather the edges wide so light raking across the wall doesn't reveal the repair.
