Settling Cracks & Nail Pops questions

Are cracks above my door a foundation problem?

Usually not. Thin cracks from door and window corners are typical settling. Wide cracks, doors that stop latching, or cracks that keep growing are worth a look by a structural engineer.

How is drywall repair priced?

Drywall repair is priced per patch, based on size and how many there are. Several patches in one visit cost less each. Send photos and we will send your price.

Can you match orange peel or knockdown texture?

Yes. Most homes built in the last 15 years in Omaha use orange peel or knockdown, and both can be matched closely.
