Drywall repair in McLean, VA for tall walls and fine finishes
McLean houses ask more of a patch than most. Big rebuilds and newer homes have tall, smooth drywall walls lit by wide windows, where a slightly raised or under-primed patch shows from across the room. Older ramblers and colonials in Chesterbrook, Langley and near Chain Bridge Road can have plaster, which cracks rather than dents and needs a different repair. Not sure if a damaged area needs a patch or new board? See how we decide between patching and replacing drywall.
We set up for the wall in front of us: ladders and staging for two-story walls, drop cloths over finished floors, and a dust plan for occupied rooms. Then we repair the base, tape where movement is likely, feather the compound wide and paint corner to corner when touch-up paint won't blend.
The Hang & Patch standard in McLean
Always on time. Floors and finishes protected, patches primed so they don't flash, and no dust left behind. Every visit ends with a final walkthrough with you.
Local know-how
McLean drywall and plaster jobs we see most
Two-story wall patches
Holes from old art, sconces or speaker brackets on foyer and stair walls, patched from staging and painted wall to wall.
Ceiling repairs below bathrooms
After a fixed leak, soft drywall cut out, replaced, stain-blocked and painted so the ceiling reads as one surface.
Plaster cracks in older homes
Stress cracks in older plaster taped with setting compound and feathered to the surrounding texture.
Nail pops and seam cracks
Common in new construction as framing settles. Fasteners reset with screws and seams refinished.
Holes after moving art or TVs
When art is rehung or a TV moves, the old holes get filled, sanded and touched up in the same visit.
Pre-listing punch lists
Dings, scuffs and anchor holes fixed before photos or an inspection, with touch-up paint to match.
Patching around art, TVs and built-ins
A lot of McLean drywall work starts with something else: a TV moves to another wall, a large piece of art gets rehung, or a built-in comes out during a renovation. We often hang the new piece and patch the old holes in one visit, like the McLean gym room shown here, so the paint gets touched up once, at the end.
If your house was built before 1978, we flag possible lead paint and recommend testing before we sand or cut into painted walls. If a stain keeps coming back, we'll tell you; a recurring stain usually means moisture, and we'd rather find the cause than paint over it.

Questions

Can you repair drywall on a two-story wall in McLean?
Yes. We bring ladders and staging for tall foyer, stair and family-room walls, and paint the wall corner to corner when a touch-up won't blend.
Do you repair plaster in older McLean homes?
Yes. We check whether the wall is plaster or drywall first, re-secure loose plaster, tape cracks with setting compound and match the texture.

Yes. Falls Church is where we do the most work in Virginia, and we cover Great Falls, Langley, Tysons and Vienna with the same team.
