Over time, doorknob dents, minor accidents, and simple wear and tear can take a toll on your drywall, making your home look shabby even when it’s spotless. Fortunately, revitalizing your walls with a new look is as simple as hiring a professional painter to repair any minor drywall damage and apply a new coat of paint. Read on to learn more about the common causes of drywall damage and how to protect your home after a new paint job:
Impacts
Gypsum drywall is usually less than an inch thick, and even slight impacts can leave a dent. While the occasional small dent is easy to ignore, they can become a real eyesore as they accumulate over time. Pay special attention to any doorknob dents; a simple rubber stopper can protect your wall from further damage.
Moisture
Water damage from plumbing leaks or can also cause mold growth and weaken the drywall. These moisture issues can wreak havoc on a new coat of paint if they aren’t addressed beforehand, as the moisture will eventually erode the underlying drywall and significantly shorten the lifespan of your new paint.
Termites
In Alexandria and the surrounding areas, termites are a very real concern for homeowners (particularly those surrounded by a lot of foliage). As many as a dozen colonies of termites can inhabit a single acre of land. Be on the lookout for “swarmers,” which are a king and queen termites looking for new nesting sites.
Foundation Settling
As your home’s foundation settles, it can cause stress cracks along the drywall. These cracks usually occur near the ceiling, around the highest and centermost corners. Fortunately, these cracks are fairly simple to repair.

The work took a little longer than predicted, but they did a fantastic job. The onsite crew was very pleasant. Rick Williams was very easy to work with, and every wrinkle was quickly addressed -- sometimes without my even needing to say anything. They were even able to give a rough estimate for my new house based on photos and floor plans...
Williams Professional Painting did a great job on my small exterior painting project. I'd neglected the trim paint on my brick rambler for ten years and had some rotted wood and a lot of peeling paint and mildew. The prepped all wood by power washing, scrapping, and repairing wood, as needed. The estimator, Alvis, was very...
