Tampa, FL · Water Damage Specialist
Stained, soft, bubbling, or sagging drywall from a leak or flooding? We remove the damaged section completely and rebuild it — not just paint over the stain and hope it doesn't come back.
A water stain on your ceiling or wall is almost never just cosmetic. By the time it's visible, the drywall behind it has usually already absorbed moisture — which means the paper facing can be weakened, the gypsum core can be soft, and the insulation behind it may be wet too. Painting over a water stain without addressing what's underneath just hides the problem until it reappears, often worse.
At Hole Lotta Drywall Repair, we treat every water damage call in the Tampa area as a repair, not a touch-up. That means identifying how far the damage actually spread, removing anything compromised, and rebuilding the section so it's structurally sound and texture-matched to disappear into the rest of your ceiling or wall.
We handle water damage drywall repair throughout Tampa, including homes near South Tampa, Seminole Heights, Westchase, and New Tampa, as well as St. Petersburg, Brandon, Clearwater, and Wesley Chapel.
Real Jobs
It depends on how far the water traveled. Small, contained stains can sometimes be sealed and repainted, but if the drywall has gone soft, is bubbling, or the water damage is from an ongoing or past leak, the affected section needs to be cut out and rebuilt. We assess this during your consultation so you're not paying to patch something that'll fail again.
We remove all compromised material, which is the drywall itself and any wet insulation behind it, since that's usually where mold risk comes from if it's left in place. For significant mold concerns, we recommend a licensed mold remediation specialist before we rebuild — we focus on the drywall repair itself.
It varies by the size of the affected area, how many layers were impacted (drywall, insulation, texture), and accessibility. We don't post flat rates because every water damage job is different — that's why every quote starts with a free consultation, digital or in-person.
Yes. We repair drywall, not plumbing or roofing. If the source of the leak hasn't been fixed, we'll flag it, but you'll want that resolved first so the new drywall doesn't suffer the same damage again.
