Getting Your Ceiling Repaired

Your dream home shouldn’t just provide a roof over your head but should have a beautiful ceiling that you’re proud of. If you have an older home, chances are your ceiling has cracks, nails pops or unsightly seams. Other ceilings have water damage or outdated paint jobs. Here are some signs that you need professional ceiling repair services for your home.

Cracks, Nail Pops and Unsightly Seams

Most homes use drywall for their ceilings. A drywall ceiling, over time, can crack as your home shifts and settles. Nail pops are another common problem with drywall. A nail pop occurs as nails are dislodged through years of shifting, bumping and movement.

Because of their smooth shank, a nail is particularly prone to this movement, although screws are also known to pop. The signs of a nail pop are what appears to be a circular dent or bulge in your drywall. It can happen on both your ceilings and walls and often requires professional repairs. Professional drywall experts can restore a smooth, unified look to your drywall ceilings.

Water Damage

Leaking roofs or water lines can cause water damage to your drywall. Common signs include discoloration and bubbled wallpaper, although extreme water damage can affect the structure of your drywall and even cause mold growth to appear. It’s important to repair water damage promptly to avoid the spread of mold.

Faded or Outdated Paint

Even if your ceiling is completely smooth and firm, it may simply need a new coat of paint. As your ceiling ages, the once pure white could become more dull, faded or yellowed. This is a particular problem if anyone in your household smokes or you have a wood-burning fireplace. A fresh coat of ceiling paint can make your home feel brighter, newer and more comfortable. Don’t let a simple coat of paint keep you from feeling comfortable and safe in your home. Contact a professional ceiling repair service today to restore your home.
