How to Patch a Drywall Corner Crack in Your Philadelphia Home

Why Drywall Corner Cracks Happen

Drywall corner cracks are a common sight in Philadelphia rowhomes, Bucks County colonials, and Montgomery County ranches. They often appear where two walls meet and are caused by natural settling, seasonal changes in humidity, or stress from doorways and windows. While they may look like a minor cosmetic issue, if not fixed properly, they can continue to spread and worsen over time.

DIY Fixes vs. Professional Repair

Some homeowners try patching corner cracks with caulk or joint compound, but the results often don’t last. Without reinforcing the corner bead, sanding properly, and carefully matching textures, the crack can reappear within months. Professionals, like the team at Absolute Quality, take the time to sand, skim coat, and finish the repair so it blends seamlessly with your existing walls.

The Professional Drywall Corner Crack Repair Process

When repairing a corner crack, we:

1. Inspect the damage to ensure it isn’t caused by deeper structural issues.

2. Reinforce or replace the corner bead if needed.

3. Apply compound in multiple layers, sanding between coats for a perfectly smooth surface.

4. Prime and paint, matching the existing finish so the crack disappears completely.

This process not only restores your wall but also ensures it holds up against everyday wear and tear.
