A homeowner in Paulus Hook called me after her husband went up to the attic to check on a water heater issue and stepped right through the ceiling into their master bedroom. One minute he was looking for the source of a strange noise, the next minute his leg was dangling through their bedroom ceiling while insulation rained down on their bed. His wife wasn't thrilled, and he was pretty embarrassed about the whole situation.

Drywall Ceiling repairs are tricky because you're working against gravity, and Jersey City's older buildings often have layers of paint and texture that complicate the job. We've fixed everything from small stress cracks near light fixtures to entire ceiling sections that needed complete replacement after attic accidents like this one. The key is reinforcing the area properly and matching the existing texture, because once drywall gets damaged from impact, you need to make sure the repair is stronger than the original installation.
