A Quick and Dirty Guide to Household Mold
Mold is one of our least favorite four-letter words - just the sound of it is enough to make a homeowner’s neck hairs stand on end. When it comes to this…

Water damage repair
in Orlando, FL.
Water-damaged walls and ceilings repaired, with texture and paint matched for a seamless finish once the leak is fixed and the area is dry.
After the leak is fixed
A roof leak, a sweating AC line, a burst supply line or an upstairs neighbor's overflow can leave a brown stain, sagging drywall or bubbling paint behind. Once the source is fixed and the area has dried out, New Ceilings repairs the ceiling or wall so it looks like the damage never happened.
How we repair water-damaged drywall
- Check the damage. We look at how far the water travelled and whether the drywall is only stained or has gone soft and needs to come out.
- Remove what can't be saved. Soft, sagging or crumbling drywall is cut back to sound material.
- Replace and finish. New drywall goes in, then it's taped, floated and sanded with dust-free tools.
- Match the texture. Knockdown, orange peel, popcorn or smooth — we blend the patch into the rest of the ceiling.
- Seal and paint. A stain-blocking primer stops old water marks from bleeding through, then we paint with Sherwin-Williams to match.
Stain only, or real damage?
A dry, firm stain can often be sealed and repainted without cutting anything out. If the drywall is soft, sagging, cracked or the tape is lifting, it needs to be replaced. Send us a photo and we'll tell you which one you're looking at.
What we don't do
We fix the drywall, texture and paint. The leak itself needs a plumber or roofer, and active mold needs a remediation company. We regularly work after them, and we're happy to schedule around their work.

Frequently asked questions
Still stuck? Call us — a real estimator picks up during business hours.
Contact the teamAre you insured and bonded?
Yes. We carry full liability insurance and we are bonded, and every technician on your job is background-checked.
Do you require money down?
No. We hold credit accounts with our vendors, so nothing is due to start — and no contractor should need it.
Do you guarantee your work?
Every repair carries a one-year workmanship guarantee, and we don't take payment until you're completely satisfied.
Will my repair blend into the existing texture?
That's the specialty. Knockdown, orange peel, smooth or older textures — we match what's already there so the patch doesn't stand out.
How dusty is drywall work, really?
Far less than you'd expect. Our dust-free tools capture sanding dust at the source, and we mask and contain the work area before we start.
Can you start right away?
Usually not immediately — we're typically booked 2–3 weeks out. Any good contractor will have work lined up, so get on the schedule early.
