Drywall Repair in San Marcos Homes

San Marcos drywall cracks are almost always one of two things: seasonal-humidity movement in older downtown homes with plaster over lath, or karst clay-soil settlement in newer Kyle, Buda, and Wimberley tract builds. Central Texas clay swells and shrinks between wet and dry seasons, and that movement opens hairline cracks along stress points every summer. Water-stained drywall from roof and gutter runoff is scoped separately so the source is addressed before any patch goes in.

Newer Kyle and Buda builds show settlement cracks along stair diagonals, over doorframes, and where garages meet living space. Crews cut back to sound material, retape with mesh or paper depending on the joint, and float in three passes so the wall reads flat under raking morning light. Textured walls in older homes are matched by hand: knockdown, orange peel, and skip-trowel each get the right tool.

Most drywall calls into the office are the front half of an interior repaint. Repair sequences cleanly into any interior painting already on the schedule, and ceiling patches often fold in a scope of popcorn ceiling removal so the finish reads consistent across the room.
