Cohen Family Roofing & Restoration provides expert drywall repair services in North Carolina, ensuring the damage is properly removed and your walls and ceilings are restored to a flawless, pre-loss condition.
Our 4-step process for a perfect drywall finish
Damage Assessment & Removal
We begin by assessing the extent of the water damage and carefully removing all affected drywall and insulation to prevent any future mold growth.
New Drywall Installation
Our skilled technicians expertly cut and install new drywall panels, ensuring a perfect, secure fit with the existing surfaces.
Taping, Mudding & Sanding
This is where the artistry happens. We meticulously tape, mud, and sand the seams to create a perfectly smooth, seamless surface that is ready for texture and paint.
Texture Matching & Priming
We apply a matching texture to the new drywall to blend it flawlessly with the surrounding area, then apply a coat of primer so it's ready for the final paint.

Common drywall repair questions
Frequently asked questions
Can you really match the texture on my ceiling?
Yes. Our technicians are highly skilled in a variety of ceiling textures common in The Triangle Area, from knockdown and orange peel to popcorn. We pride ourselves on creating a seamless blend.
Why can't I just use a stain-blocking primer on a water stain?
A stain-blocking primer only covers the cosmetic issue. It doesn't address the waterlogged, weakened drywall and insulation behind it, which can be a breeding ground for mold. The damaged material must be removed.
How long does drywall mud take to dry before painting?
Each coat of joint compound (mud) typically needs about 24 hours to dry completely before the next coat or sanding can begin. A professional repair usually involves 2-3 coats.
Is it okay if the drywall is still a little damp?
No. Before we install new drywall, the wooden framing and surrounding areas must be completely and professionally dried out using air movers and dehumidifiers to prevent any future mold growth.
Do you also do the final painting after the repair?
Yes, we are a full-service restoration company. We can handle the final priming and painting to ensure a perfect match with your existing wall or ceiling color.
