Drywall Repair in Cordillera Ranch, TX for Custom Homes and New Walls

What You're Looking At on a Cordillera Ranch Wall

There's no mayor out there, and no municipal anything at all. Cordillera Ranch is not a city and it was never meant to be one. What it is instead is a very large piece of Kendall County kept mostly empty, with big houses set into it a long way apart. Boerne Drywall works out there the way it works everywhere else in the county. A drywall repair in Cordillera Ranch, TX starts where the rest of them start, which is with what your wall is finished in.

Every custom home out there was finished by whoever built it, so there's no standard to assume and no street to compare yours against. Some of those rooms carry the smoothest finish a crew can put up. A smooth wall is honest work to repair, because there's no spatter for a patch to hide inside it. The flatness has to be right across the whole panel, and it isn't enough to get it right across the damage alone, so we work outward from the repair rather than up to it.

None of that makes your job a big one. It just takes longer, because most of the time goes on the finishing coats. If the room is textured rather than smooth, the same idea applies with a gun in place of a trowel, and you'll see the samples held against your own wall before anything gets sprayed.

The kinds of walls and ceilings we get called to out there

Describe yours in whatever words come to you when you call, and you'll usually find one of these is close to it.

• A long wall in a big room, where daylight runs the length of it and nothing hides
• A ceiling in a room with height in it, where getting a platform up is half the job
• New board in a house that's still being finished, hung, taped and textured before anybody moves in
• A finish carried out of an older part of the house and into a newer one
• A wall opened up for wiring or a pipe and closed back so the seam doesn't show
• A patch somebody filled flat and never finished, which shows in any side light

What you'll want to check before work starts on your walls

Cordillera Ranch has an architectural review committee, and the covenants that run with the property aren't filed away somewhere, they're enforced. If your job touches the outside of the house, that's worth a look before anything starts, and we'll work to whatever it says. Inside, on a wall or a ceiling in a room you live in, the job is between you and us.

Nobody else we work for has a committee to answer to, and it's the one thing a homeowner out there deals with that a homeowner in town never thinks about. We'd sooner raise it early than have it turn up on you halfway through the week.

Why the siting of your house shows up in the finish

The hilltop lots and the ones out on the limestone canyon rim were built to look at the view. That usually means tall glass down one side of a room and long unbroken walls running away from it, which is the hardest light a repair ever gets. It crosses the surface low and sideways and finds anything proud or hollow. The places down on the river frontage sit differently, with shorter runs of wall and more shade coming into them.

So we look along your wall from where you actually stand in that room, in the light that room gets, before anybody sands anything. If it needs another coat, it gets another coat.

It also means we'd rather price your job standing in the room than over the phone. You can describe a hole well enough for us to know what it is. What decides the work is the run of wall around it, the height of the ceiling above it and the way the light comes into that room. Those are things to look at together, and you'll have the price in your hand before anybody starts.

One more thing comes up out there often enough to be worth saying. A house standing on its own, a long way from the next one, means we can work without anybody else's schedule in the way. Board comes in through the nearest door, the room gets closed off, and the rest of your house stays yours while it happens. If a job is big enough to want the room emptied first, you'll hear that when it's priced rather than on the morning we turn up.
