1. New Horizon Handy Services
Based in Poughkeepsie, NY, New Horizon Handy Services works as a drywall repair contractor. The business has been operating for 13 years with a team of 10. Drywall repair involves cutting out damaged material, fitting a patch or backing, then taping and applying several thin coats of joint compound. Each coat is sanded smooth, and the texture is matched to the surrounding wall so the patch disappears once primer and paint go on. Typical jobs for drywall repair in Poughkeepsie include corner bead dents, patches after plumbing access, stress cracks above doors, nail pops and doorknob holes. New Horizon Handy Services is also listed for cabinet installation, carpet cleaning, carpet installation and commercial carpet cleaning. Brown ceiling stains, bulging spots, or nails pushing through the surface often point to moisture or movement that should be repaired before painting. Mention the cause of damage if known, such as a leak that is now fixed, and whether repainting of the full wall or ceiling is wanted. Repairs that need multiple drying trips, water-damaged board replacement, or high ceilings usually cost more than a single small patch in an easy spot.
