Say your friend is telling you how one day a door handle dinged a hole in their wall. They patched it? Not quite months later, the patch started cracking and flaking off. You can't blame them—they did it themselves. Drywall repair is a lot trickier than it looks.

That's why in San Diego, homeowners swear by JCE Painting for real repairs that actually hold up. They don't just smear on joint compound and call it good—they match your texture, your coat, even the sheen. The patch? It practically disappears.

What Really Causes Drywall Damage Here

Flat, sunny days might feel harmless, but living in coastal Southern California can be tough on walls. Humidity changes swell and shrink drywall. Household accidents—think couch edges, kids and baseballs, even leaky pipes—leave dents and holes. Over time, these add up.

And when moisture hits plasterboard—especially around showers, sinks, or leaky windows—you're looking at bubbling, moldy patches that spread if not fixed right. A quick DIY fix often ends up leaving a bigger mess.

Why JCE Painting Doesn't Just Patch—They Restore

JCE Painting approaches drywall repair in San Diego like a craftsman, not a quick-fix handyperson. First, they inspect to figure out whether the problem is a simple dent or something more serious, like a leak or framing issue. Then comes the treatment:

Cutting out weak drywall and replacing it—no flipping compound over soggy boards.

Feathering edges so flat patchwork melts seamlessly into the wall.

Applying texture that blends with your existing finish—knock-down, orange peel, smooth satin, whatever your original wall had.

Sanding meticulously to prevent bumps or paint pooling.

Painting or priming so the area looks brand-new, not just patched.
