Comprehensive Drywall Water Damage Repair in Tenino
Drywall Drying Services

Stains are only treated after readings show the drywall and cavity are dry. Painting over damp drywall lets the stain return.
Drywall Leak Repair
Once the leak is fixed and the cavity is dry, new drywall is hung, taped and finished to match the wall.
