Ceiling Drywall Repair in Huntington, WV | Sags, Stains, Cracks & Holes Overhead
Drywall ceiling repair is harder than wall repair and it shows when it is done wrong. Gravity works against the compound, light rakes across ceilings from every window, and most Huntington ceilings carry a texture that has to be matched. Drywall Repair Huntington fixes sagging drywall ceilings, cracks, holes left by electricians and plumbers, nail pops, and stained sections, and finishes them so you stop looking up.
If the ceiling is stained brown, soft, or bulging, the cause is water and the repair starts on our water damaged drywall page. Everything else is here.
Sagging ceilings and popped screws
A wavy ceiling between joists usually means half-inch board was hung on 24-inch framing, or the screws have let go. We refasten the board into the joists with fresh screws, add adhesive where the gap is large, and if the sag is severe we replace the section with 5/8-inch board that holds flat. Nail pops get driven, re-screwed an inch away, and coated.
Holes from electrical and plumbing work
Recessed lights, new bath fans, a plumber chasing a leak from the bathroom above, the HVAC crew reaching a duct. We patch the openings stud-to-joist with backing, tape, three coats, and texture. This is one of the most common calls we get from homeowners in Westmoreland and Enslow Park after a remodel has wrapped up.
Textured and popcorn ceilings
Most Huntington-area ceilings from 1960 onward are textured. A ceiling patch is not finished until the texture is matched, which is why our texture matching service is built into every ceiling repair quote. If you would rather lose the popcorn entirely, see popcorn ceiling removal.
Plaster ceilings in pre-war homes
Plaster ceilings in older Southside and Highlawn homes fail by separating from the lath, and the first sign is a crack pattern or a soft bulge. We re-adhere sound plaster with adhesive and plaster washers, and replace sections that have let go with drywall shimmed flush. Never let anyone screw drywall over a loose plaster ceiling; the weight comes down together.
Questions about Ceiling Drywall Repair
How much does drywall ceiling repair cost?
A single ceiling patch with texture typically runs roughly $200 to $500; 2026 surveys put most ceiling drywall repairs between $220 and $1,300. Larger sections, multiple patches, or plaster re-adhesion are quoted after inspection. Water damage repairs run roughly $500 to $1,500 depending on how much board has to come down.
Can you match my textured ceiling?
Yes. We match knockdown, orange peel, popcorn, and stipple textures on the patch and feather the edges into the surrounding ceiling.
My ceiling is cracked in a straight line where it meets the wall. Is that serious?
Usually not. That pattern is common truss uplift in homes built after 1960. We repair it with a floating corner so the seasonal movement stops showing.
