Drywall Repair in Northbrook and Glenview
Damaged drywall and plaster can make a freshly painted room look worse, and paint alone will not hide it. At Sunpainting, we offer drywall repair in Northbrook and Glenview, plus plaster repair in Northbrook and across the North Shore, so your walls and ceilings are smooth before the first coat of paint goes on.
We repair the damage, sand it smooth, then prime and paint, so you deal with one crew from start to finish.
A good repair disappears once it is painted. That depends on the work behind the paint: patching the damage properly, finishing it smooth and protecting your home while we do it. Because we handle drywall repair, plaster repair and painting in-house, you do not need to coordinate multiple contractors. Sunpainting is rated 5.0 on Google from 180 reviews, and every project starts with a free in-home estimate.
Drywall Repair, Plaster Repair and Wall Finishing
From small holes to whole new walls, here is what we repair.
Holes and torn drywall
From small holes to torn sections like the stairwell wall shown here, we patch the damage, finish it smooth, then prime and paint so the repair blends in.
Water damage
We repair water-damaged walls and ceilings, replacing or sealing the affected areas with oil-based primers, depending on the type and extent of the damage. If the leak is still active, it should be fixed first.
Cracks and peeling plaster
Cracked, flaking and peeling plaster and drywall surfaces are repaired and smoothed for paint. We offer plaster repair in Northbrook and Glenview as part of the same service.
Ceiling repairs
Peeling ceiling paper, damaged seams, holes around light fixtures and stained spots. We repair the ceiling, sand it smooth and repaint it.
Paneling removal and wall finishing
Dated wood paneling can come out, and we finish the wall behind it so it is smooth and ready for paint. Depending on what is behind the paneling, that may mean patching, repairing or new drywall.
New walls and partitions
We frame and drywall new walls and partitions, then tape, finish, prime and paint them. We also replace drywall after flood damage, including basement walls.

Can you repair plaster walls?
Yes. We offer plaster repair as well as drywall repair. We look at the wall, explain what it needs, then repair it, sand it smooth, prime and paint.
Will my walls need a skim coat?
It depends on the situation; every job is different. Small repairs often need only patching and sanding, while larger or rougher areas may benefit from a skim coat. We’ll look at the damage with you, explain what we recommend, and leave you with a smooth surface ready for paint.
