Drywall Contractor & Drywall Repair in Cypress, TX | Spring Drywall Co.
Spring Drywall Co. is a drywall contractor serving Cypress, TX, with wall and ceiling work that includes drywall patching and repair, along with hanging and finishing new board for remodels and additions. When a leak has soaked a wall or brought down a ceiling, we remove the ruined panel, rebuild the surface and match the existing finish, including the sprayed patterns found in most houses here, such as orange peel and knockdown.
Ceilings require their own approach, whether the job is popcorn ceiling removal or creating a flat ceiling in a commercial interior. On a new wall, Spring Drywall Co. frames it, insulates it and boards it, then carries the taping and surface work through primer and finish paint.
US 290 divides Cypress between the wooded northeast and the prairie southwest, but the ground beneath both sides moves with the seasons. That movement is why we identify the cause before pricing your repair. We have worked as a sheetrock contractor in and around Spring for 15 years, about twenty-four miles up the highway from Downtown Houston.
We also serve properties north through Harris County and Montgomery County, as well as west into Waller County. Estimates are free, and we are insured. Call (936) 286-6045 or use the form, and we will come and look at the wall and put a price in writing.
Why Choose Us
What Cypress Property Owners Get From a Drywall Contractor Who Reads the Crack First
A crew that treats every crack as a filling job will be back inside a year or two. We read the crack first, because what is behind it decides whether the repair holds.
Four things to check before you hire anyone:
- We find the cause of the wall failure before closing it up, because a patch over an unresolved problem will fail in the same way.
- We keep the dust contained. Plastic sheeting, sealed doorways and sanders connected to a vacuum are standard when we work in an occupied house.
- We are an insured drywall contractor, and our crews work to ASTM C840 for how gypsum panels are hung and fastened and to GA-214 for finish levels. Both are published standards, not badges: ASTM C840 covers how gypsum board is applied and finished, while GA-214 defines the grades used to evaluate a finished surface.
- Our on-site estimates are free, the written estimate is line-itemed before you commit, and financing is available on larger projects.
Behind that work are 15 years of drywall experience in Spring and the surrounding communities, with a drywall company small enough that the person who prices your job stays involved in it. We are also the drywall contractor in Hockley, the next town west. Call (936) 286-6045 or use the quote form, and we will come out to inspect the wall while you are still deciding how you want to proceed.
Drywall Contractor Work Across Cypress and Cy-Fair
We are a drywall contractor serving the entire Cy-Fair area, handling everything from drywall repair to complete walls built from bare studs in homes and commercial interiors. The work below is everything we do here, and several of the headings gather related jobs together.
Drywall Repair
We are called most often for repairs: nail pops that push small round bumps through the paint, dented corners where furniture has struck the edge, hairline cracks along the seams between panels, and holes punched clean through. We cut back to solid board, cover the joint with joint tape and joint compound, then rebuild the surrounding texture so the patch blends into the wall. Because a patch is only as good as its edges, we feather the compound well beyond the cut and leave no ridge for a lamp to catch.
Drywall Installation
Around the man-made lakes, new houses and additions are still going up, and every new room needs board on each surface before the interior work can move forward. We hang the drywall panels, tape and fill the joints, then finish them smooth, working ceilings before walls and staggering the seams so no two run in one continuous line. Each screw head is set just below the face of the board, which allows the sheetrock installation to finish flat instead of leaving visible bumps.
Water Damage Drywall Repair
Gulf storms push water into Cypress walls from outside, while the attic air handler creates a quieter source of damage when its PVC condensate drain lines clog and the water it removes from the air begins spreading as a brown ceiling stain below. We remove the soaked board and dry the framing and cavity behind it. We compare the exposed framing and surrounding materials against dry reference readings before closing the wall. Once the area is dry, we install mold-resistant board, made with a treated gypsum core and facing designed to resist growth. Where Texas law requires licensed mold assessment or remediation, that work is handled by a licensed mold professional first.
Drywall Finishing & Texturing
What we are matching is the texture, meaning the sprayed or troweled pattern on the finished wall. Cypress houses use orange peel, knockdown, the broad flat strokes of skip trowel, or smooth walls, so every patch has to be rebuilt to match the finish that is already there. Knockdown is flattened by hand while the compound is still wet, and no two houses here carry exactly the same weight of it, which is why we match the texture to the wall in front of us rather than to a standard.
The finish is graded, and you choose the level that suits the room: Level 4 is the standard finished wall, while Level 5 adds a thin skim of compound across the entire surface for gloss paint or rooms where a window casts raking light along the wall. Estimates name the GA-214 finish level as its own line item, so a Level 5 skim is a priced choice rather than a vague allowance.
Commercial Drywall
We build interior partitions on metal framing, hang and set ceilings, and handle tenant finish-out, which is the interior build of a leased space for the business moving into it. Because a fit-out usually follows a drawing, we set the partition layout and openings exactly where the plan calls for them. We also complete repairs in rooms that remain in use while the work is underway. Medical, school and institutional interiors make up most of this work in Cypress, and they are covered in their own section below.
Ceilings & Popcorn Ceiling Removal
Ceiling work falls into four areas: ceiling drywall repair and replacement, ceiling drywall installation, popcorn ceiling removal and acoustical ceilings, which use panels that absorb sound instead of reflecting it. Cypress ceilings commonly have an orange peel texture, so any replaced section is sprayed to match the rest of the room. For every ceiling, we specify board that will stay flat after wet texture is applied. Popcorn texture or other suspect material is tested by a qualified asbestos professional when its age or condition warrants testing before disturbance, and we scrape only material the results clear as safe.
Drywall Types & Specialty Systems
We choose the board type for each job because drywall is not a single product, and that choice is central to three of our services: moisture and mold resistant drywall, fire-rated drywall systems and soundproof drywall installation. We use moisture- and mold-resistant board in bathrooms outside the shower itself, as well as in laundries and kitchens where humidity is constant but direct water exposure is not. Ordinary gypsum drywall is outside our scope as the tile substrate in direct-wet shower and tub-surround zones.
Fire-rated board is used where a separation between spaces requires it, with the rating applying to the complete tested assembly of framing, board and fasteners rather than to the panel alone. For a quiet room in a Cypress house, we build the full assembly needed to block sound.
New Walls, From the Studs
Cypress subdivisions are still being built out, so new construction drywall remains active work here, along with the three jobs that go with it: partition wall installation, metal stud framing and insulation before drywall. We set the metal studs for each new interior wall, fill the cavities between them with insulation, then board both faces. Installing the insulation first means the wall only has to be closed once instead of opened again later to reach the cavity behind it.
Detail and Surface Work
The smaller jobs that complete a Cypress interior are part of our work too: custom drywall and architectural features, drywall soffits and bulkheads, corner bead installation and repair, plaster repair, wallpaper removal, drywall priming and painting, rehanging and reattaching drywall, and access panel installation. Soffits and bulkheads are the boxed-in drops used to conceal ducts and pipes above cabinets, while corner bead is the metal or plastic strip that forms a straight, durable edge on an outside corner.
We also remove old wallpaper, reattach board that has pulled away from the framing, and install access panels where valves or junctions need to remain reachable. We prime and paint our own board, and the primer gives patched and unpatched areas the same surface so the finish paint goes on evenly.
What Drywall Work Costs in Cypress
Drywall repair cost in Cypress falls into five main jobs. The ranges below show what that work costs here, while the price for your wall is set after we inspect it in person.
- We patch a small to medium hole in the $200 to $600 range.
- We repair the drywall in one room in the $150 to $1,500 range.
- We repair a ceiling in the $400 to $1,300 range.
- We rebuild a wall after water damage in the $600 to $2,500 range.
- We hang, tape and finish new board to a Level 4 finish at $2.00 to $3.00 per square foot.
On new board, the finish level has the biggest effect on the price. A Level 5 skim requires more compound and more sanding across every square foot than a Level 4, and the large, brightly lit interiors here call for it more than a bedroom does. Completing several rooms in one visit also lowers the cost per room because the protective sheeting only has to go up once. Height is the other major factor: work from staging takes longer, so a tall ceiling costs more than the same area at arm's height.
Why Drywall Cracks Return in Master-Planned Cypress Houses
Northeast of US 290, the land is forested and heavily wooded; southwest of it, the landscape opens into ranch land and grassy prairie. Beneath both areas, the ground changes volume as its water content changes. Houses on either side are predominantly built on slab foundations with under-slab plumbing, so the way that ground moves directly affects whether a drywall repair holds.
When rain saturates the ground, it swells and lifts; during a dry spell, it loses water, shrinks and settles. The concrete slab resting on it rises and settles by small amounts as this happens, and because the walls are fixed to it, they move too. Drywall does not flex with that movement, so cracks open where the board is joined or fastened.
Those openings show the ground movement at the wall surface, and the ones we are called to repair most often share the same cause and appear in a few familiar places:
- A seam crack, which is a split along the taped joint between two boards and usually runs in a straight line across a ceiling or wall.
- A crack at an inside corner where two walls meet, or corner bead that has pulled loose from the edge it protects.
- A nail or screw head that has pushed back through the joint compound covering it.
- A door that has started sticking in its frame because the opening around it is no longer square.
Rain after a long dry spell is when this movement becomes most visible, because dry ground takes up water quickly once it returns. Newer master-planned houses are not exempt: a house settles into its ground through its first seasons, and that settlement moves the walls in much the same way.
Two signs tell you the movement is still active rather than finished: a crack wider than a quarter of an inch, and a crack that returns within twelve months of being repaired. Either one points to ongoing movement underneath, which is why we check the crack width and its repair history before quoting any sheetrock repair.
Drywall Work by Cypress Neighborhood
Cypress developed as a collection of master-planned communities, each built on its own timeline, so there is no single downtown whose age tells you what nearby houses are made of. The age of the community is the better guide, because what a wall needs depends on whether it was hung last month or thirty years ago.
Bridgeland: Framing and Boarding Houses That Are Still Going Up
Spread across 11,500 acres southwest of US 290 between the highway and Interstate 10, this community is organized into four villages with roughly 900 acres of lakes, and new villages are still opening. The houses here are being built rather than wearing out, so our work includes hanging the first panels on bare studs, setting metal stud partitions between rooms, and boarding over fresh insulation. If your house is still covered by the builder's warranty, nail pops and settlement cracks may fall under that coverage, so read your own warranty before paying us to repair either.
Fairfield: Matching Drywall Texture in a Built-Out Community
About 3,200 acres near US 290 and Mason Road, this community finished building years ago, so its walls have had time to age. The work here is primarily repair, and repair is largely a matter of matching what is already on the surface. Sprayed finishes carry a distinct pattern, whether it is the fine spatter of orange peel or the flatter, troweled look of knockdown, and we rebuild that pattern in joint compound so the repair blends into the surrounding wall. Paint is the harder part: fresh paint rarely matches a surface that has spent years under changing light, which is why we often prime and repaint the entire wall or ceiling instead of coating the patch alone.
Coles Crossing: Ceiling Drywall Under Mature Pine
Houses have been built here since 1998, arranged around mature pine stands that were left in place, along with creeks, lakes and about 175 acres of parkland. In homes of this age, ceilings need particular attention because they carry their own weight and are often the first surface affected by a leak. Where a roof or supply line has leaked, or a fastener has released and the panel has sagged away from the joist above, we repair the damaged section or replace the panel entirely. We also remove sprayed popcorn texture, the lumpy ceiling finish common to homes of this vintage, once it has been tested.
Medical and Institutional Drywall Interiors in Cypress
Cypress has a growing concentration of medical, college and school buildings, including HCA Houston Healthcare North Cypress, Memorial Hermann Cypress Hospital, Houston Methodist Cypress Hospital, which opened on US 290 in March 2025, Lone Star College-CyFair, and campuses throughout the Cy-Fair district. That is an important part of the building stock here. Drywall work in these facilities differs from residential work because it has to be completed while the building remains open, and Spring Drywall Co. handles that kind of occupied commercial interior work.
Inside these buildings, we frame suite build-outs with metal studs, using light steel channel instead of timber, then board the partitions and finish the corridors. We also install acoustical ceilings, the paneled ceilings laid into a grid to soften noise in an open room, and moisture-resistant board wherever a room is exposed to water.
In public corridors, the lower edges and outside corners take regular hits from trolleys and foot traffic, so we install corner bead and metal trim to protect them. Where ducting runs above a finished ceiling, we build soffits and bulkheads to box it in. Rated corridor and separation walls are built to the specified tested assembly.
Keeping your building open means separating our work from the people using the space. Plastic barriers, sealed doorways, and vacuum-assisted sanding are part of the base scope on every occupied-space job, not an add-on.
Facilities and property managers also need paperwork they can file, so we invoice by suite or unit instead of combining the work into one lump sum. Managed buildings also typically require proof of coverage before work starts. We carry general liability insurance and can send our certificate of insurance before work begins.
Scheduling does the rest. We work Monday to Saturday, and within that we can offer:
- after-hours slots, so the space can stay open through the day
- weekend slots, when fewer people are in the building
- a phased sequence that boards one wing while another remains in use
Who Signs Off on a Cypress Drywall Job
Cypress is unincorporated, so drywall work here falls under Harris County rather than a city building department.
What the County Permits
Permitting goes through the Office of the County Engineer and the Harris County Permits Office. Since 1 September 2009, the county has required residential building permits in unincorporated areas, including single-family and duplex homes, while commercial and multifamily construction is also permitted and inspected by the county. Routine drywall repair, replacement and refinishing generally do not require a permit, so for most of what we do in a house nobody at the county needs to see it first.
On commercial and multifamily interiors, inspections help set the schedule because the work has to be ready for the inspector at the required stage, not simply finished on the wall. We tell you clearly when a job is one the county will need to inspect.
What the County Does Not Decide
The other half is not government regulation at all, and both parts belong to you rather than to us. The master-planned communities here generally have their own associations with separate architectural rules, so owners need to check those requirements with their own association before we begin. Texas does not issue a license for drywall contracting, so there is no state card any drywall contractor can show you for this trade, though we are insured. For ordinary drywall work, the document that governs the job is the written estimate you approved before we started, not a permit.
FAQ
Cypress Drywall Questions, Answered
Do you repair the drywall before a foundation problem is fixed?
Not by choice. Patching before the movement is addressed gives you a wall that looks right for a while and then opens along the same line again, so when we see those signs, we point them out, recommend having the movement checked by the trade that handles it, and schedule the drywall rebuild afterward. If you still want the patch first, we will do it and explain exactly what that repair is.
Is a wooded Cypress lot harder to work on than an open one?
Only for access, not for the repair itself. A long, tree-lined drive means twelve-foot drywall panels have to be carried in by hand instead of backed up to the door, so we plan the cut list and delivery before the crew arrives and bring the board in at the sizes the room needs. On an open lot, that extra planning is not necessary.
Do you repair drywall after the plumber or roofer fixes the leak?
Yes, and that is the usual order. We are not the trade that stops the water, so the plumber or roofer handles the source first, and we follow once it has been fixed. Tell us when that work is scheduled and we can plan the board repair around it instead of opening the same wall twice. If the leak is still active, we will inspect the damage, but new board goes back only after the water has stopped.
Do you handle drywall in garages and additions?
Yes, both. A garage often has bare board on the walls, or no board at all, so the work is hanging, taping and finishing rather than repair, while a garage conversion needs the same Level 4 wall finish as the rest of the house. On an addition, we tie the new board into the existing ceiling and wall lines so the joint blends in once the surface is finished.
Which parts of Cypress do you cover?
We cover all of Cypress, from the wooded side to the prairie side. Because Cypress is unincorporated, there is no city boundary for an address to fall inside or outside, so we work by the address itself, from Bridgeland and Fairfield through Coles Crossing. Call (936) 286-6045 with yours, and we will tell you plainly if it falls outside our service run.
