Why Choose Us
Why Chattanooga Drywall Repair Co Is Chattanooga's Most-Trusted And Cheapest Drywall Contractor
We fill the gap left by contractors who accept only tiny patch jobs. Our team handles small drywall repairs and full-scale drywall installations and remodel work — no job too small, no job too big.
Material selection matters as much as workmanship: standard 1/2-inch board for most interior walls, 5/8-inch Type X fire-rated drywall for garages and shared walls, and moisture-resistant green board for bathrooms, kitchens, and basements. Choosing the right material for each space up front means fewer problems and less cost down the road.

Drywall Repair
Ceiling and wall repair, hole patches, and finishing work for lasting results. We match your existing texture and use the correct panel thickness — typically standard 1/2-inch board — so repairs blend in completely, not just cover up the damage.
New construction and full-install workflows with quality taping and finishing. We work with standard 1/2-inch panels, 5/8-inch Type X fire-rated board, and moisture-resistant green board depending on the space, finished to your preferred level.
Fast drywall removal, replacement, and moisture mitigation after leaks. Affected sections are rebuilt using moisture- and mold-resistant green board to help prevent future issues, then finished to match the surrounding texture.
Safe removal and texture replacement for modern, clean ceilings. We wet-scrape old texture to protect the drywall underneath, then apply a smooth or lightly textured finish suited to the room.
Moisture-resistant options, sound control, and finish work for below-grade spaces. Basements typically call for green board or specialty moisture-resistant panels given naturally higher humidity levels.
Fire-rated assemblies, office fit-outs, and tenant improvements for Chattanooga businesses. Commercial spaces often require 5/8-inch Type X fire-rated board and metal stud framing to meet code.
A meticulously smooth, imperfection-free finish for high-end spaces most contractors don't offer. This finish level uses a full skim coat over the entire surface, ideal for accent walls, gloss paint, or rooms with dramatic natural light.
Specialized restoration for older Chattanooga-area homes with original lath and plaster walls. This older construction type requires different techniques than modern drywall repair, and we preserve the home's original character while fixing cracks and damage.
Choosing the right material for the space matters as much as the workmanship. Here's what we work with, and why.
Drywall Panels & Wallboard Systems
We install sheetrock, gypsum wallboard, plasterboard, and standard wallboard in a variety of thicknesses, including 1/2-inch and 4x8 drywall panels. Our hanging process creates smooth, durable walls and ceilings for new construction, remodeling, and tenant improvement projects.
Fire-Rated & Soundproof Drywall
Protect your property with fire-rated and soundproof drywall systems built for safety, privacy, and code compliance. We install Type X drywall and acoustic wall assemblies that reduce noise transfer while improving fire resistance.
Bathroom & Moisture-Resistant Drywall
We install moisture-resistant wall systems designed to withstand humidity and help prevent mold growth. Ideal for bathrooms, kitchens, laundry rooms, and other moisture-prone spaces.
Drywall Finishing & Surface Preparation
Our finishing process includes joint compound, all-purpose mud, spackle, and PVA primer to create a smooth, paint-ready surface, with an emphasis on seamless repairs and premium-quality results.
Modern Drywall Textures
Whether you want a sleek modern look or a decorative finish, we offer a range of texture styles to complement your home. We match existing textures precisely or create custom finishes for remodels and new construction.
Drywall Hardware & Installation Accessories
From toggle bolts and metal anchors to moisture testing equipment, we use professional-grade hardware and accessories so every installation and repair holds up long-term.
Common Issues
Common drywall problems we fix
Most drywall damage has a real identifiable cause. Here's what we see most often across Chattanooga homes.
Nail Pops & Popped Screws
Small raised bumps where a fastener has worked loose from the framing behind it. Extremely common as a house settles over its first several years, and usually cosmetic rather than a sign of a real problem.
Often running diagonally from a door or window corner, caused by normal wood-frame settling as lumber dries and shifts over time. A crack that keeps returning in the same spot is worth a closer look.
A brown ring or soft spot almost always means moisture is getting in from above. Sagging can mean fasteners have worked loose or insulation has gotten wet, and it's worth having looked at sooner rather than later.
From furniture, doorknobs, or day-to-day accidents. How we repair it depends on size: small dents just need compound, while larger holes need backing behind them so the patch actually holds.
We kept this simple on purpose — you shouldn't need a manual to get a wall patched.

Chattanooga drywall team came in and took over my garage project cause I had no time and didn’t really know what I was doing. They did the mudding and sanding for me so I can paint it soon. They did exceptional work.
★★★★★[9/10/2025]
The Chattanooga contractors team were great to work with. I had a large drywall install ( 225 sheets) and was a little apprehensive because of the scope of this job. Being that part of the project was my garage 27 x 27 x 20 feet high using 5/8 x 12 drywall on the ceiling was a tough job to say the least. There crew hung the drywall in 1 and a half days and 3 more days to mud and texture.
We are very happy with the finished job. Hats off to the crew.
★★★★★[7/22/2025]
We had all the popcorn ceilings removed and replaced with a knocked down texture throughout the house.
Everything turned out exactly how we hoped my wife absolutely loved the final result. Quality work all around.

Licensed drywall services across the Greater Chattanooga region. Select a city below for service details.
How quickly can you provide a drywall repair estimate?
We typically respond within one business day and often schedule same-day or next-day visits across the Greater Chattanooga area.
Do you handle both small patch jobs and full drywall installs?
Yes. Our team does small patch repairs, ceiling work, texture matching, and full drywall installation for new construction and remodel projects.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. Chattanooga Drywall Repair Co is licensed and insured for residential and commercial drywall work in Chattanooga and surrounding communities.
Can you put drywall over drywall?
In some cases, a second layer can be installed over existing drywall, but we inspect wall condition and framing first to recommend the best solution.
Do I need a permit for drywall repair in Chattanooga?
Most drywall patching and repair work does not require a permit. Larger projects involving new partition walls, structural changes, or additions typically do require a permit through the City of Chattanooga's Land Development Office. If you're unsure, their building plans review team can confirm at (423) 643-5894.
What's the difference between a Level 4 and Level 5 drywall finish?
A Level 4 finish is the standard for most homes, smooth enough for flat paint or wallpaper but not perfectly imperfection-free. A Level 5 finish adds a complete skim coat over the entire surface, creating a flawless, mirror-smooth wall that hides seams and fastener marks even under glossy paint or bright, direct light.
What causes drywall cracks in Chattanooga-area homes?
Common causes include normal wood-frame settling, seasonal humidity swings typical of Tennessee's climate, and occasionally hidden plumbing leaks. Most cracking is cosmetic, but recurring or widening cracks are worth having assessed.
What type of drywall is best for bathrooms and kitchens?
Moisture-resistant green board is the standard choice for bathrooms, kitchens, and other areas exposed to regular humidity. It's not meant for direct water contact like inside a shower, where cement board is typically used instead behind tile.
Can you match existing drywall texture?
Yes. Matching orange peel, knockdown, skip trowel, or smooth finishes is one of the most important parts of a good repair, since a mismatched texture is often more noticeable than the original damage. We test the pattern on a small area first to confirm the match before finishing the full repair.
Do you handle fire-rated drywall for garages or shared walls?
Yes. Garages, shared walls between units, and certain commercial spaces often require 5/8-inch Type X fire-rated drywall to meet building code. We can advise on where fire-rated board is required for your specific project.
