Whether you're building a new home in Round Rock, remodeling a kitchen in East Austin, or patching cracks in a 1970s ranch house in Hyde Park — DLP Drywall provides professional sheetrock services across the Austin metro area. Here's what we do and how we do it.
New Drywall Installation
New construction and additions need full drywall installation — hanging, taping, mudding, and finishing. We handle everything from single-room additions to whole-house builds. Our crews follow the complete drywall installation process with three-coat finishing for seamless walls.
In Austin's newer developments — think Easton Park, Mueller, or Leander — we work directly with builders and homeowners to get walls up fast without sacrificing quality. We stock all common sheetrock types including moisture-resistant green board and fire-rated Type X.
Drywall Repair & Crack Fixing
Austin sits on expansive clay soil — the infamous “black gumbo” that swells when wet and shrinks when dry. This constant movement stresses foundations and causes drywall cracks, especially around door frames, windows, and ceiling corners. We see it in neighborhoods all over town: Allandale, Crestview, Brentwood, Circle C — anywhere with older slab foundations.
🏚️ Common Austin Drywall Issues
- Settlement cracks — Diagonal cracks from foundation movement, most common in homes built before 1990
- Nail pops — Screws or nails pushing back through the mud, often from lumber shrinkage in new builds
- Water damage — Stained, soft, or crumbling drywall from roof leaks, plumbing issues, or AC condensation
- Texture mismatch — Patches that don't match the surrounding wall texture (orange peel, knockdown, or smooth)
Our repair process isn't just about filling the hole — we match the existing texture so the repair is invisible. We carry multiple texture guns and hoppers to replicate orange peel, knockdown, skip trowel, and smooth finishes common in Austin homes.
Water Damage Restoration
Austin gets about 34 inches of rain per year, and when it comes — especially during spring and fall storm seasons — it can come hard. A roof leak, burst pipe, or overflowing AC drain pan can soak through drywall in hours. Once drywall gets wet, it loses structural integrity and becomes a breeding ground for mold.
We cut out damaged sections, inspect the framing behind it for moisture or mold, treat as needed, and install new drywall. The key is getting the texture and paint to match the existing wall — something DIY patches almost never get right.
Remodel & Renovation Drywall
Knocking down a wall to open up the kitchen? Converting a garage to a living space? Adding a bathroom? Remodels mean cutting into existing drywall, reframing, and blending new drywall with old. The hardest part is making the transition invisible — old walls have settled, paint has aged, and textures have been applied differently over the years.
We've done remodels all over Austin — from modern lofts downtown to mid-century homes in Barton Hills to new builds in Cedar Park. Every job gets the same attention to detail.
