From Brewerytown brownstones to Germantown twins, homes across Fairmount and West Philly share one thing: they often need drywall repair. But before you grab that spackle, it’s worth knowing the most common pitfalls homeowners face when tackling wall repairs on their own.
Why DIY Repairs Often Go Wrong
- Mismatched textures and visible seams
- Uneven taping and mudding
- Over-sanding leading to depressions
- Skipping water damage assessment before patching
A simple fix can spiral into a costly redo if the root cause—like a small leak or framing issue—is ignored. That’s where professional drywall repair makes a huge difference.
