Drywall Repair
We patch holes, close cracks and replace water damaged drywall in St. Petersburg homes and condos. The texture gets matched to the wall around it, so the repair sands out paint ready.

Ceiling repair covers the damage you see when you look up. A crack runs across the living room, or a brown ring spreads over the hallway after a leak. Nail heads show through the paint, or a drywall seam drops and the tape hangs loose. We fix the board, then match the texture and paint so the repair blends in.
Flow Home Services is a veteran-owned handyman and remodeling company based in St. Petersburg. Ceilings are the overhead side of our drywall repair work, in homes and condos across Pinellas County. They are less forgiving than walls, because window light skims across them and shows every seam. Estimates are free, so text a photo of the ceiling to (727) 404-7164.

Ceiling cracks tend to follow a drywall seam or run out from a corner. A coat of paint or a bead of caulk hides one for a while, and then it opens again. Our ceiling crack repair cuts out the loose tape, tapes the seam again and feathers the compound out wide.
Nail pops are the small round bumps that show up in a line across a ceiling. The nail has backed out of the framing. We drive a screw beside it, set the nail back and cover both with compound.
Holes get a ceiling patch. We cut the damage square, set backing behind it and fit new board in. That includes the access holes other trades leave behind.
A brown ring or a soft, bulging spot means water came through from above. The source might be a roof leak, an upstairs bathroom or an AC drain line. Finding and fixing that source is not our work.
Water damaged ceiling repair starts once the leak is stopped and the ceiling is dry. Board that went soft or started to sag gets cut out back to solid drywall. New board goes in, screwed to the framing, then taped and finished flat.
Any faint ring left around the patch gets a stain-blocking primer before paint. That keeps the old stain from bleeding through the new coat. We ask about the leak at the estimate, because a patch under an active leak stains again.
Census figures put the median year built for St. Petersburg homes at 1969. About 7 in 10 homes in the city went up before 1980. Textured ceilings and decades of old patches are common in houses that age. If your home has an older plaster ceiling, we assess it at the estimate.
Ceiling texture repair means matching what is already up there: knockdown, orange peel or a smooth skim coat. We try the mix on a scrap of board, then carry the texture past the patch edge. Touch-up paint rarely matches an older ceiling, so we prime the repair and paint the whole ceiling. If the walls need fresh color too, add interior painting to the list.
The Consumer Product Safety Commission says textured paint and ceiling patching compounds may contain asbestos. Their use was banned in 1977, and sanding, scraping or drilling those surfaces may release it. So a textured ceiling from before the mid 1980s, or one you cannot date, gets tested by a professional first. If you want the texture off the whole ceiling, that is popcorn ceiling removal.

Christian has been helping my seller clients prepare their home for resale and for my buyer clients to get the upgrades they desire in an excellent timeframe. I highly recommend Christian and his team and look forward to working with them on future projects. (Before and after photos of rooms Flow Home Services painted for my clients).
Christian and his team did an incredible job at building our backyard shed. This was an involved job that other handymen would not touch. The project consisted of framing, siding, roofing, painting, securing into concrete, etc. his skill and attention to detail was impressive. Christian was very reliable and showed up on time everyday ready to work. In addition, Christian updated us numerous times throughout the day with progress pictures and videos as we were traveling during the holidays. The team cleaned up and we can home to a fully built 10x14 ‘ shed/garage. If you are looking for a reliable, skilled handyman/builder, look no further. We will be using Flow Home Services again soon.
Christian helped me install a new back door and he did an amazing job! He was very professional and reliable. Highly recommend!
