Drywall & ceiling repair across the Diablo Valley
Mon–Sat, 7am–6pm (925) 555-0142
Moraga is dominated by 1960s and 70s subdivision building — Campolindo, Rheem Valley, the Country Club area — laid out across rolling hillside lots. Consistent construction, consistent failure modes, and a town small enough that we usually know the tract before we arrive.
The recurring job is settling cracks and seam failure on homes that have been through sixty years of wet winters and dry summers on expansive soil.

Campolindo and the Country Club tracts are the archetype: 1960s–70s single and two-storey homes with light texture, standard 8-foot ceilings, and cracking concentrated at door headers and along ceiling joints. Sanders Ranch is later and larger. The St. Mary’s College area adds a rental component with faster turnover work. Hillside siting throughout means seasonal movement is a real factor in whether a repair holds.
Housing note: Predominantly 1960s–70s hillside subdivision stock — original texture, original board, and soil that moves with the seasons.
Settling and seam cracks, done properly — cut back, meshed where needed, taped, floated wide and textured.

No. Moraga is inside our core service area alongside Orinda and Lafayette — there is no travel surcharge.
If they are scattered, patch and blend. If the whole ceiling is popping, re-screwing the field and re-texturing the entire ceiling usually costs less than thirty individual patches and looks far better.
It depends far more on access, height and texture than on the size of the hole. A single small patch at standard ceiling height is the least expensive job we do; the same patch on a two-storey entry wall costs several times more because of staging and protection. We give written quotes before any work starts.
Yes — orange peel, knockdown, skip trowel, hand-troweled and Level 5 smooth. For unusual or hand-applied finishes we prepare a sample panel and get your sign-off before touching the visible wall. Where a blend genuinely will not disappear, we will tell you that re-texturing the whole wall is the better answer rather than leaving you with a patch you can see.
We finish, texture and prime every repair so it is ready for paint and the sheen matches. Final colour coats are usually best handled by your painter, who has your exact paint — but ask, because on small jobs we can often finish it out.
Joint compound has to dry between coats, so most repairs are one long day or two shorter visits. Anyone promising a finished, textured, invisible repair in ninety minutes is skipping a coat.
