Get a Free QuoteWhat We Repair
GCA Painting repairs plaster and drywall damage — cracks, holes, and water damage — the kind that's especially common in older NYC apartments and brownstones. Damaged areas are patched, taped, sanded, and primed so the repair blends into the surrounding wall instead of standing out.
Part of the Same Job
This is typically the first step before repainting a room, and we handle it as part of the same job rather than treating it as separate work.
From a Patch to a Full Wall
From a single patched hole to a full wall in need of resurfacing, we match the repair technique to the damage so the wall is smooth and ready before any paint goes on.
