Hear from Our Customers
You get walls that look like the damage never happened. No visible seams, no texture mismatches, no dust covering your furniture.
Most Setauket homeowners are surprised how quickly we can transform damaged drywall into smooth, paint-ready surfaces. Whether it’s nail holes from mounting TVs, water damage from a roof leak, or cracks from settling, we match your existing texture perfectly.
The difference shows immediately. Clean lines where there used to be gouges. Smooth surfaces where there used to be holes. And your home stays clean throughout the process—no plastic sheeting needed for weeks of cleanup.
We’ve been handling interior home improvements across Suffolk County for almost ten years. We’ve worked in hundreds of Setauket homes, from the historic properties near Setauket Harbor to the newer developments off Route 25A.
What sets us apart is straightforward: we show up when we say we will, we clean up after ourselves, and we don’t leave until the work meets our standards. No hidden fees, no pressure tactics, no surprises.
In a community where home values average $875,000, you need contractors who understand that your investment matters. We treat every project—whether it’s patching a small hole or installing sheetrock in an entire addition—with the same attention to detail.
First, we assess the damage or installation area and explain exactly what needs to be done. No technical jargon—just clear information about the work and timeline.
Next comes the actual repair or installation. We use dustless sanding technology and proper containment, so your living space stays livable. For repairs, we cut out damaged sections, install backing material if needed, and apply drywall compound in thin, even coats.
The finishing work is where experience shows. We sand between coats, match your existing texture, and prime the surface so it’s ready for paint. Most small repairs are completed in one day. Larger installations might take two to three days, depending on drying time between coats.

Every sheetrock project includes dustless sanding technology, proper surface preparation, and seamless texture matching. We bring our own equipment, handle all cleanup, and leave your space exactly as we found it—except for the perfect walls.
In Setauket’s older homes, matching existing textures can be tricky. Many properties built in the 1970s and 1980s have unique wall finishes that require specific techniques to replicate. We’ve worked with everything from smooth plaster to heavy orange peel textures throughout Suffolk County.
For water damage repairs—common in coastal Long Island homes—we also check for underlying issues before installing new drywall. This prevents future problems and ensures the repair lasts. All materials are moisture-resistant when appropriate, and we coordinate with other trades if plumbing or electrical work is involved.
Most small repairs take 4-6 hours to complete, including drying time. We can patch nail holes, fix small cracks, and match textures in a single day visit.
Larger repairs—like fixing water damage or replacing entire sections—typically take 2-3 days. This accounts for proper drying time between coats of drywall compound. We never rush the process because shortcuts show up later as cracks or visible seams.
For whole-room installations, plan on 3-5 days depending on the size and complexity. We coordinate timing so you’re not displaced longer than necessary, especially important in Setauket where many homeowners work from home offices.
We use premium lightweight compounds that shrink less and sand smoother than standard materials. This means fewer coats needed and better long-term results.
Our taping technique involves multiple thin coats rather than trying to build thickness quickly. Each coat is feathered wider than the last, creating invisible transitions. We also use mesh tape for cracks and paper tape for seams—whichever works best for each specific situation.
The difference shows in the final result. Our seams don’t crack or show through paint, even years later. Many Setauket homeowners tell us they can’t find where we made repairs, which is exactly what we’re aiming for.
Yes, water damage is common in coastal Suffolk County, and we handle it properly. First step is always identifying and fixing the source—whether it’s roof leaks, plumbing issues, or humidity problems.
We remove all damaged drywall and check the framing for moisture or mold issues. If there’s mold present, we coordinate with remediation specialists before installing new materials. We never just cover up water damage because it always comes back worse.
For replacements, we use moisture-resistant drywall in areas prone to humidity, like bathrooms and basements. The new sections are sealed and primed with moisture-blocking primers before final painting. This prevents future issues and protects your investment.
Texture matching is part science, part art. We start by examining your existing walls under different lighting conditions to understand the pattern and depth.
For common textures like orange peel or knockdown, we have the right tools and techniques. For unique textures—especially in homes from the 1970s and 1980s—we sometimes need to experiment on test patches first. We don’t guess and hope it works out.
The key is building up the texture in layers and adjusting our technique until it blends seamlessly. We also consider how the texture will look after priming and painting, because some finishes change appearance once painted. Most homeowners are amazed how well we can match textures that seemed impossible to replicate.
Our dustless sanders connect directly to industrial vacuum systems, capturing 99% of dust at the source. This means no plastic sheeting over furniture, no dust settling on your belongings, and no lengthy cleanup afterward.
Traditional sanding creates fine dust that gets everywhere—inside electronics, on dishes, in HVAC systems. Even with plastic barriers, dust finds its way into other rooms. Our system eliminates this problem entirely.
This is especially important in Setauket homes where many homeowners have valuable furnishings and artwork. You don’t have to move everything or worry about damage from dust. We can work in occupied spaces without disrupting your daily routine, which matters when projects take multiple days.
Yes, every estimate breaks down materials and labor costs clearly. Sheetrock sheets, drywall compound, tape, and other materials are listed separately so you understand exactly what you’re paying for.
Material costs vary based on thickness needed and type of drywall. Standard half-inch drywall works for most interior walls, but we might recommend five-eighths inch for ceilings or moisture-resistant boards for bathrooms. We explain these choices upfront.
Labor costs depend on the complexity of the work and access to the area. Patching a wall at normal height costs less than repairing cathedral ceilings or working around built-in fixtures. Our estimates are detailed enough that you won’t see surprise charges later, but clear enough that you understand what drives the pricing.
