Repairs For Other Types Of Walls

Drywall has become so popular that people often refer to any type of wall in their home as drywall. No matter what kind of material you have in your home, we can help you with high-quality repair services, from drywall ceiling repairs to sheetrock repairs. One way to identify drywall is called the pushpin test. Take a pushpin, like one you would use in a corkboard, and find an edge of your wall. Gently press the pushpin into the wall. If it easily penetrates the wall, you likely have drywall. If not, you may be dealing with plaster, sheetrock, or some other type of material. When you meet with My Handyman of Dover, Portsmouth, and Rochester for the first time, we will inspect your wall and explain what type of material you have. Some of the most common wall materials that we repair include the following:

  • Gypsum board
