Homeowners in West Philly, Brewerytown, Germantown, and Fairmount often call us with one common question: When should I repair or replace drywall? The answer depends on the type of damage.
- Small cracks or nail pops – These are common in older Philadelphia homes due to settling. They can be patched and painted easily.
- Water damage – If your drywall shows stains or soft spots, replacement is often necessary to prevent mold growth.
- Large holes – Caused by accidents or renovations, these require professional repair to restore structural integrity.
At PHS, our home renovation experts don’t just patch drywall; we ensure the underlying issue is solved. That could mean fixing a roof leak, sealing insulation gaps, or adjusting framing. Recently, in Germantown, we repaired a living room wall damaged by a plumbing leak, rebuilt the affected drywall, and repainted the entire space — the finished wall looked brand new.
We also specialize in kitchen remodeling, helping homeowners modernize outdated layouts and increase property value. Whether you want to open up a floor plan, install custom cabinetry, or upgrade finishes, our team handles every detail from permits to final touches.
➡️ Contact us today if you notice drywall issues or are considering a renovation. We’ll provide an honest assessment and expert service so your Philadelphia home stays safe, stylish, and strong.
