Drywall is a versatile and relatively inexpensive building material. It's also easy to repair, which is why many homeowners attempt to fix problems with their drywall on their own instead of hiring a professional contractor for the job. While repairing may be simple, there are some concerns that are better left to a pro.

Suburban Painting Co., a Lexington-based commercial and residential painter, explains why hiring a professional to do your drywall repair is the best choice:

• Experience: Skill level should be carefully considered when choosing the right drywall repair company. A good contractor can fix almost any type of drywall damage by using professional repair techniques that leave a seamless finish. A novice who tries to do the repairs on their own may commit any one of a series of mistakes, but leaving the work to a pro ensures a quality job done right.
• Saves Money: Many homeowners find themselves spending more on equipment when they DIY. Trusting a commercial painter to do drywall repair can save you money, as professionals already have the necessary tools for the job. Before hiring a contractor, remember to ask the company about their pricing guidelines, as some painting companies give fixed pricing while others offer an hourly rate. 
• Saves Time: Doing the job yourself is time-consuming—not to mention that you may end up doing more damage to your drywall. A professional contractor will likely get the job done a lot faster than you can, giving you time for other activities.

DIY is certainly not the fastest, or even the cheapest, way to fix your drywall—seek out a contractor for professional, long-lasting results.
