Ceiling Repair in Gulfport, MS | Sagging, Stained, Cracked & Cut-Open Ceilings
Ceilings on the coast take the worst of it. Attics run 130 degrees, insulation holds moisture after every roof leak, and half-inch board hung on 24-inch trusses sags in the humidity until the seams show. Gulfport Drywall Repair fixes sagging, cracked, and cut-open ceilings and matches the knockdown so you stop looking up.
If the ceiling is stained brown or soft, it is a water job first; start on our water damage page.
Sag between joists
A wavy ceiling usually means half-inch board on 24-inch framing, or screws that have pulled through the paper in the heat. We refasten into the joists with new screws, add adhesive where the gap is wide, and if the board has crept too far we replace the section with five-eighths, which holds flat in Gulf Coast attics.
Holes from fans, lights, and the plumber
New ceiling fans, recessed lights, a bath fan finally installed, an AC tech chasing a condensate leak from above. Those openings get backed and boarded joist to joist, taped, coated three times, and textured. This is the most common ceiling call we get after a remodel wraps up in Orange Grove or Bayou View.
Cracks along the wall line
A straight crack where the ceiling meets an interior wall is truss uplift: the roof trusses bow in the heat and pull the ceiling off the wall. We rebuild that joint with a floating corner instead of a hard one so the seasonal movement stops showing. Other ceiling cracks are handled like wall cracks.
Texture is half the job
Almost every Gulfport ceiling is textured. Knockdown in the newer homes, popcorn in the ranches north of the tracks. No ceiling repair leaves our list until the texture is matched; if you want the popcorn gone for good, see popcorn ceiling removal.
Ceiling Repair: straight answers
What does ceiling repair cost in Gulfport?
A single ceiling patch with texture typically lands around $250 to $550. Replaced sections are roughly $400 to $850 per sheet. Leak-damaged ceilings are quoted after a moisture reading. Ballpark figures; the estimate is the real number.
Can you match a knockdown ceiling?
Yes. The patch and a ring around it get sprayed, then knocked down on the same count the original crew used. Popcorn can be matched too, though most people choose to remove it.
My ceiling is sagging but dry. Is it dangerous?
It can be. Board that has pulled off the screws over a large area can come down. Stay out from under it and call; refastening is a quick fix if we get there before it lets go.
