Drywall takes a beating in a busy home: a doorknob punched through a hallway, nail pops marching across a ceiling, hairline cracks creeping out from a window corner, or a soft brown stain where a pipe let go upstairs. RHM Contracting has spent 30 years putting those walls back the way they were meant to look, so the repair disappears instead of standing out.

We handle the whole range, from a single patch to hanging and finishing new board across a remodel or addition. That means cutting out water-damaged sections and rebuilding them dry, blending new texture into old so you can't find the seam, and skim-coating walls back to a clean, paint-ready finish. Most homeowners care less about the drywall itself and more about the result: a wall that looks like nothing ever happened.

Because plumbing is one of our own trades, we can also chase down the problem behind the damage. If a failed pipe caused the stain, we repair the leak before we close the wall back up. When the water is coming from a roof or window instead, we help you find it and either seal it or bring in the right repair, so it doesn't return. And if you're tired of a popcorn ceiling, we scrape it, smooth it, and leave you a flat, modern finish that's ready for paint.

How It Works

1

Walkthrough & estimate

We look at the damage in person, figure out what caused it, and give you a clear written price before any work begins.
2

Prep & protect

We mask off the work area, cover floors and furniture, and contain dust so the rest of your home stays clean.
3

Repair & texture match

We cut, hang, tape, mud, sand, and blend the texture until the patch vanishes into the surrounding wall.
4

Clean up & paint-ready

We haul away the debris, leave the surface primed or paint-ready, and walk the finished work with you before we go.

Local to Charlotte & Ballantyne

From the older homes around central Charlotte to the newer construction throughout Ballantyne and south Charlotte, we see the full spectrum of drywall problems — settling cracks in long-established neighborhoods and thin builder-grade finishing that didn't hold up in newer ones. Knowing the housing stock around Pineville, Matthews, Waxhaw, and SouthPark means we show up with the right approach for your walls the first time, instead of guessing.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a typical drywall repair take?

A standard patch is usually a one-day job. But because joint compound needs time to dry between coats, larger repairs and full walls often run two or three visits over a few days. We'll give you a realistic timeline up front so there are no surprises.

Can you really match my existing texture?

Yes. Knockdown, orange peel, hand-trowel, and smooth finishes can all be blended so the repair disappears. Older or unusual textures take a little more skill to dial in, and matching them is a big part of what 30 years of practice buys you.

Do you fix the water leak too, or just the wall?

Often both. We'll track down where the water is coming from, and because plumbing is one of our trades, we can repair a failed pipe ourselves before we rebuild the drywall. If the source is a roof or window, we'll help you locate it and either seal it or line up the right repair, so the stain doesn't return after we're done.

Is removing a popcorn ceiling messy?

It's dusty work, but we keep it contained. We mask the room, cover everything, scrape the ceiling, then skim and sand it smooth, leaving you a clean, flat finish that's ready for paint.
