Yankee Carpenter handles drywall repair in Marietta, GA — cracks over the doorway, sagging ceilings, holes from the plumber, popcorn you want gone, or a whole basement to hang and finish. We hang, tape, mud, sand, match the texture and paint it, so the repair disappears instead of announcing itself.
Every Marietta home gets them — a settling crack above the door, a nail pop line down the hallway, a sagging seam in the ceiling, the hole the plumber left behind.
Anyone can smear mud on a hole. The difference is whether you can find it afterward. We feather repairs wide, match orange peel, knockdown or smooth exactly, match the sheen, and paint corner to corner when that is what it takes.
"Which one did you fix?" — the only review a drywall job needs.
Marietta has the oldest housing stock in Cobb County, and the drywall shows it — plaster-and-lath or early drywall in the homes around the Square, popcorn ceilings from the 1970s and 1980s, and decades of patches that never quite blended. We replace what needs replacing and match the texture so the repair disappears.
Typical Marietta calls: a cracked or sagging ceiling, cracks along a stairwell, holes left after a plumber or electrician, popcorn removal across a whole floor, and finishing new drywall in basements and additions.
Cut out the damaged section, replace it, then tape, finish and match it to the rest of the wall or ceiling.
Settling cracks, doorway cracks, plumbing holes and nail pops — repaired so they stay repaired.
Orange peel, knockdown, skip-trowel, smooth — matched to the existing wall so the repair disappears.
Scrape, skim, smooth and paint — the fastest way to make a whole floor of the house look newer.
Hung, taped and finished for basements, garages, additions and room conversions.
For rooms with raking light or high-end paint where nothing but perfectly flat will do.
Finishing a basement, adding a room, or converting a garage in Marietta? We hang and finish new drywall from bare studs to paint-ready walls. Every board is screwed to spec, every seam is taped and coated, and corners get metal or paper bead so they stay straight for years.
We match the finish to the rest of your home — smooth walls for a modern look, or orange peel and knockdown to blend with existing rooms. For great rooms, stairwells and walls hit by strong side light, we offer a Level-5 finish so the surface reads perfectly flat. When the drywall is done, our crew primes and paints it, so you get a finished room, not a half-done job waiting on another trade.
Most Marietta installations are hung, finished and painted within a week or two depending on the size of the space. You get the full timeline in your written estimate before any work starts.

Marietta homeowners call Yankee Carpenter because the repair has to disappear. We have spent more than 30 years working in Cobb County homes, so we know the textures, the older plaster walls near the Square, and the popcorn ceilings in the 1970s and 1980s neighborhoods.
One crew does the whole job — cutting, hanging, taping, texture and paint — so nothing falls between trades. We protect your floors and furniture before the first cut, and we leave the room clean when we are done. You get a written estimate before any work starts, and we are usually already working nearby, so we can often stop by for an estimate the same day.
