Water Damaged Drywall Repair in Ocala, FL
A brown stain on the ceiling is the damage you can see. DRR finds the rest, cuts out what's ruined, and rebuilds it so the ceiling looks new.
Serving Ocala, The Villages, and the surrounding counties.
Ceiling sections are the most common water job we see — roof leaks, AC drain lines, and upstairs plumbing. Ceiling repairs are repair visits, so DRR's $400 minimum applies — typical ceiling work runs $400–$1,300 depending on size; larger cut-out areas price by the area affected.
How We Repair Water-Damaged Drywall
First we inspect the area and find how far the damage really goes. Then we identify where the water came from — the repair only lasts if the leak is fixed. We cut out and remove the damaged drywall, cut a proper patch or replace the full sheet, fasten it, tape and sand the seams, and re-texture so the repair blends in.
Two Honest Notes
Fix the leak first: drywall repair starts after the water source is stopped and the area is dry, or the new board gets damaged the same way. And on mold: we cut out and replace drywall damaged by mold as part of a repair, but we are not a mold remediation company — if testing or remediation is needed, that comes first, and we'll tell you plainly.
Questions Homeowners Ask

Do you charge for estimates?
No. Estimates are free, and you get your price in writing before any work begins. There's no obligation to hire us.
Can you match my existing texture?
Yes — texture matching is the heart of what we do. Knockdown, crow's foot, orange peel, hawk and trowel, splatter, and popcorn. The goal is a repair that blends in so well you have to look for it.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. DRR Drywall Repair is a Florida licensed contractor, #SCC131151954, insured to $2 million, BBB-accredited with an A+ rating, and an SBA-certified Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business.
How long does a typical repair take?
Most patch repairs take one to two visits — mud needs drying time between coats. Bigger jobs, like a full garage ceiling, are scheduled day by day and you'll know the plan before we start.
