Toms River Drywall repairs and hangs drywall in Lakewood, NJ, from condominiums and townhouses to detached houses built in the last decade.

Wall before and after drywall: open insulated studs, then new taped drywall

Condos, townhouses, and rentals

Census estimates show only 35% of Lakewood housing units are single-family detached houses, and about half of households rent. That changes the first questions on a drywall job: who owns the wall, who has to approve the work, and whether the wall separates two homes. A wall between units is often a fire-rated assembly, and it is repaired with matching rated board and sealed penetrations.

Renting the home

Wall and ceiling repairs are normally the owner's call. Get the landlord's written go-ahead and agree on who handles the final paint.

Shared walls

Before anyone cuts into a wall between two units, find out how it was built.

Leisure Village and association rules

In Leisure Village and Lakewood's other condominium communities, the association documents decide which surfaces belong to the owner and which are common elements, so a leak from the unit above may be the association's repair. Ask the management office before booking anyone, and ask about permitted work hours.

Nail pops and cracks in newer homes

Census estimates put 24% of Lakewood housing in 2010 or later and the median build year at 1994. New framing keeps drying for its first year or two, and as studs and joists shrink they push fastener heads out as round bumps or open hairline cracks at door and window corners. Repairing too early invites a repeat. The fix is a new screw beside each pop to pull the board tight, then fill and sand.

Everyday wear in busy homes

Lakewood households are often large, and that shows on the walls: door handles punch through, stair rails loosen their anchors, and hallway corners take hits from strollers and furniture. These are small repairs that need no permit.

Doorknob holes

A backed patch and two or three thin coats, sanded ready for primer. A door stop keeps it from coming back.

Stairwell and hallway corners

Crushed corner bead comes out and new bead goes on, so the edge stays straight and hard.

Getting touch-up paint to blend

We leave the repair smooth and ready for primer; painting is your step or a painter's. Most patches that show after painting fail on sheen, not color. Prime all new compound first, because bare compound drinks paint and dries duller. Paint the whole wall corner to corner instead of just the spot, with the same roller nap the wall was painted with. Use the original can if you have it, or have a chip from a closet matched.
