Drywall damage in a Bakersfield, CA home comes in a handful of forms. Here is what we repair, and how.
The most common drywall repair call in Bakersfield. We cut the damaged drywall back to a clean shape and back the opening. Then we set a new piece of drywall, tape the seams, smooth them with three coats of compound, texture it and paint it.
Bakersfield homes built before the 1980s show cracks at the corners of doors and windows, and long cracks where two sheets of drywall meet. We open the crack, re-tape the seam and smooth it out wide with compound so it does not come back.
Roof leaks, swamp cooler overflow, a slow drip under a bathroom. We cut out the soft drywall, seal the stain, rebuild the section and match the ceiling texture. More on the Bakersfield ceiling repair page.
Orange peel and knockdown cover most Bakersfield drywall, with smooth walls in newer Southwest and Northwest tracts and heavy hand textures in older neighborhoods. We match all of them and blend the edges so the repair is invisible under paint.
Slab leak repairs, water heater swaps and new circuits all leave openings in the drywall. We close them, blend them and paint them, usually the same week the trade finishes so the wall is not open any longer than it has to be.
As drywall dries out through Bakersfield summers the fasteners back out and the seams lift. You see a row of small bumps or a raised line along the ceiling. We reset the screws, smooth the drywall with compound and re-texture so the line disappears.
Chewed drywall corners, claw marks down a hallway, dog doors cut through interior walls, and everything a tenant leaves behind. We patch it all in one visit and get the unit ready to rent.
When the inspection report lists drywall cracks, stains and holes, we clear the whole list before the buyer's walk-through. One visit usually closes the whole drywall list out.

A tenant left after a plumbing overflow soaked the bottom two feet of drywall in a hallway and two bedrooms. We cut the wet drywall out to a straight line, set new drywall, taped and smoothed the seams, matched the orange peel texture and painted. The unit was back on the rental market that week.
A door with no stop swung into the drywall and left a knob-shaped hole. We set a braced drywall patch, smoothed it flush with the wall, sprayed matching texture and touched up the paint in one visit.
A dog door had been cut through an interior wall between a laundry room and a garage. We braced the opening from inside, fit new drywall on both sides, taped, textured and painted so the wall reads as one surface again.

Most drywall repairs in Bakersfield, CA land between $350 and $1,500. The price follows how much drywall has to come out and go back in, plus the texture and paint work to hide it.
We only repair drywall. We do not put up new drywall for additions, remodels or new homes, and we do not do roofing, plumbing, mold remediation or water extraction. If your Bakersfield job needs one of those first, we say so, and we come back after that trade is done to close up the drywall. That narrow focus is why the texture matching works. It also means a Bakersfield drywall repair from us is never a practice run, and you are never quoted for work you do not need. If the plumber's hole is the only problem, the plumber's hole is the only thing on the quote.
Bakersfield, CA is the ninth largest city in California, with 403,455 residents in the 2020 Census. It grew roughly 400 percent between 1970 and 2010. The housing runs from 1950s ranch homes in Oleander and Westchester to 2010s tracts in the Southwest and Rosedale. The drywall in each era fails differently. Old drywall carries decades of paint over hand texture, so a patch has to be built up to match. New drywall has thinner walls and more nail pops.
Summer highs of 105 to 107 degrees dry out drywall tape and open seams. The 6.4 inches of rain a year arrive almost all at once between January and March. Tule fog from November through March keeps small leaks wet long enough to soften drywall. The 1952 Kern County earthquake, magnitude 7.5, left settling cracks in the older core that still reopen with every small shake. Our drywall crew works Bakersfield daily along Highway 99, Highway 58 and Highway 178, so the texture equipment on the truck matches the neighborhood before we arrive.
