Residential

Drywall panel being lifted into place against new wall framing on a Davenport drywall installation

Drywall Installation

Additions, basements, garages, and full remodels hung from bare studs and finished paint-ready. Board gets picked by room before anything goes up — moisture-resistant near baths and below grade, Type X where fire code calls for it — then taped, mudded, and sanded to the finish level the room actually needs.

Joint compound being worked across a drywall patch with a taping knife on a Davenport drywall repair

Drywall Repair

Holes, seam cracks, nail pops, and damaged sections cut out, patched, textured to match, and primed. A doorknob hole is usually one visit; anything bigger gets cut back to the nearest stud so the patch has something solid to land on instead of floating on old board.

Ceiling drywall being sanded smooth overhead during a ceiling repair in Davenport

Ceiling Drywall Repair

Sagging, cracked, or water-stained ceilings repaired or reboarded, starting with a look at the framing above to decide whether a patch will hold at all. Ceilings are less forgiving than walls because you see them from across the room, so the texture gets sampled and matched before anything is sprayed.

Water-damaged drywall being cut out of a wall above the stain line during a Davenport repair

Water-Damaged Drywall Repair

Removal, replacement, and refinishing after a leak, backup, or river-water event has already been stopped and dried. Board wicks moisture upward well past the visible stain line, so the first job is finding where the damage actually ends — not where it looks like it ends. Plumbing repair and mold remediation are separate trades.

Power sander bringing a coated drywall surface flush during finishing work in Davenport

Drywall Finishing

Taping, mudding, and sanding taken to a paint-ready surface at the level the room calls for. A Level 3 is fine under heavy texture; a Level 5 skim coat is what keeps a wall flat under afternoon light coming off the river or a hallway sconce raking down it.

Texture compound being sprayed onto a wall through a hopper gun on a Davenport drywall texturing job

Drywall Texturing

Knockdown, orange peel, and smooth finishes applied fresh or matched to what's already on the rest of the house. Existing texture gets sampled and test-sprayed on scrap first, because a patch that's a shade too heavy reads as a patch forever once the paint goes on.

Textured popcorn ceiling surface before removal work begins in a Davenport home

Popcorn Ceiling Removal

Popcorn texture scraped off, the ceiling reskimmed or reboarded, and a smooth or knockdown finish put back. Any ceiling in a home built before the mid-1980s gets tested for asbestos before a scraper touches it — that step isn't optional and it isn't a formality.

Plaster being worked into a damaged wall section during a plaster repair in an older Davenport home

Plaster Repair

Cracked or failing plaster patched in place, or converted to board where the lath behind it has already let go. Roughly three in ten Davenport homes predate drywall, so plaster-to-drywall transitions are routine here — and they need a skim coat across the joint to blend two wall systems that move differently.

Wide finishing blade drawing joint compound across a drywall seam during taping and mudding in Davenport

Drywall Taping & Mudding

The craft stage between hung board and a finished wall: tape bedded into a first coat, corner bead set, then fill and finish coats feathered wider each pass. Compound is matched to the coat — taping mud where adhesion matters, topping where sanding does — and each coat dries fully before the next.

Damaged drywall partly removed from a wall, exposing stud framing and insulation during a Davenport drywall replacement

Drywall Replacement

Full walls and ceilings taken out and reboarded when the existing board is past patching — severe water damage, widespread cracking, or a surface that has been repaired so many times it no longer sits flat. Covers removal, disposal, new board, and finishing back to the surrounding surface.

Unfinished Davenport basement with block foundation walls and open joists before drywall work begins

Basement Drywall

Lower-level walls and ceilings boarded and finished for a livable space, with the below-grade decisions made before framing starts. Moisture-resistant panel, framing held off the foundation, and ceiling access left where shutoffs and cleanouts need to stay reachable.

Commercial

Service Areas

Every Service Above, City by City

The list is the same in each of these cities. What changes is which services actually come up — plaster repair is routine in Moline and close to nonexistent in Eldridge, and a recurring wall crack means something different in Coal Valley than it does anywhere on the Iowa side.
