The ceiling under a second-floor bath, the laundry hose that let go in July, settling cracks in the newer gated streets and the ordinary knob hole: patched, knockdown matched and primed. Written price first.
BBBAccredited BusinessPalm Beach Gardens is a city of lakes, fairways and associations, and Kaminskiy Care and Repair repairs the drywall inside its houses to the standard the associations expect: the ceiling under a second-floor bath in PGA National, the family room wall soaked by a washer hose that let go in July while the owners were up north, the settling cracks at the tall window corners of a house in Alton or Avenir still in its first years, the stain under an air handler in a 1960s ranch off Burns Road, the knob hole in a BallenIsles hallway, the anchor holes a tenant left in Evergrene. New board where the old is soft, every seam taped, three coats, the knockdown matched to the weight the builder used, primer. The source is fixed and the board metered dry before any drywall goes in. The price is in writing on the call from our West Palm Beach office, and most patches are finished in one visit.
Eight repairs, one crew, priced in writing before we start.
Nearly every house in Palm Beach Gardens was finished in knockdown, from the 1980s golf communities to the newest streets west of the turnpike, and the knockdown is where most patches go wrong: too heavy, too light, knocked down with the wrong knife. We spray a test board first. The water here comes from the second floor and from the vacant months, the cracks from new houses settling in, and the association from the gate; we work with all three.

Kaminskiy-certified pros finish the job with a workmanship warranty.
Every drywall repair carries our one-year workmanship warranty, in writing, and is done by a Kaminskiy-certified, background checked technician.
Two-story homes from PGA National to Mirasol put the baths and the laundry over the living rooms, and a shower pan, a toilet seal or a supply hose shows as a ring on the ceiling below weeks later. Seasonal houses add the other story: a hose or a condensate line lets go in July, nobody is home, and the drywall is found in November. The plumber or the AC company fixes the source, the dry-out happens, the board reads dry on a meter, then we replace the stained section. A ceiling that sagged, or a wall that sat wet for months in a closed house, goes to a licensed mold remediation company first, and we say so on the call.
The 1980s and 1990s golf communities carry a heavier knockdown over a coarse splatter; the 2000s streets a medium one; Alton, Avenir and the newest builds a light knockdown or a smooth skim in the main rooms. The 1960s plats off Burns Road and Holly Drive carry orange peel on half-inch board and sprayed ceilings from before 1980 that a licensed lab tests before anyone sands them. Matching knockdown means spraying the right size of splatter, waiting the right number of minutes and knocking it down with the width of knife the original finisher used, and our technicians do it by eye on a test board first.
A house in Alton, Avenir or the newest streets of Mirasol moves the most in its first few years as the framing dries and the lot settles, and the drywall tells you where: hairlines off the window and door corners, a seam opening along the two-story entry. Those are taped, filled, feathered wide and textured so they stay closed; caulk alone returns with the next dry season. A crack still growing after year five, or one that steps across the wall, is a question for the builder or a soils professional, and we say so instead of patching it twice.
Smaller than your hand: a backed patch. Bigger than your hand and smaller than a laptop: a paper patch. Poster-sized: a framed backer and a new section. A soaked run behind the washer, a stained ceiling section or anything larger: a full sheet screwed to the furring or the studs with every seam taped. Three coats, sanding, knockdown and primer are the same on all four. A tall entry or a vaulted family room over eight feet is priced on the call after a look, and the association color goes on over the primer.
The oldest homes in the city, block ranches with furring strips, half-inch board, orange peel and sprayed ceilings that a licensed lab tests before anyone sands them. The humidity stain along the bottom of an exterior wall, the ceiling under an air handler retrofitted into a closet, the wall the plumber opened for the galvanized line, and sixty years of patches to match. Painted surfaces in a pre-1978 house are handled lead-safe by an EPA-certified crew.
Lake and course lots from the 1980s on, with association standards, heavy knockdown, second-floor baths over the kitchen, and houses that sit empty from May to November. The ceiling under the master bath, the laundry hose that let go in July, the knob hole, and the move-out wall. Knockdown matched to the builder's weight, primed for the approved color, the crew registered at the gate.
The newest gated communities, light knockdown and smooth skims, ten-foot ceilings and two-story entries priced after a look, and new-home settling cracks at the window corners in the first years. The finish standard is the one the builder set, so a smooth wall gets the wider feather and the raking-light check before primer.
Down PGA Boulevard the same crew covers the county from our West Palm Beach office; the West Palm Beach drywall repair page explains the county permit rule, the humidity in the block houses and the insurance claim in plain words.
Hold your hand over the damage and tell us: smaller than your hand, bigger than your hand, poster-sized, or a whole sheet. We price it on the call, in writing, in under ten minutes.
Water damage is repaired after the source is fixed. If the stain is still wet we tell you who fixes the leak, and we schedule the drywall for when it is dry.
Backing where it needs it, new board cut to fit, every seam taped, three coats of compound sanded smooth, your texture matched, then primer.
Dust contained and the room left clean. Most patches are finished in one visit; a full sheet may need a short second visit for the final coat, scheduled before we leave.
Palm Beach Gardens says most construction, remodeling and repair work needs a permit, and the code it builds under lists painting, papering and similar finish work as exempt and lets the building official approve an ordinary minor repair without one; a drywall patch, a replaced sheet or a ceiling repair in an existing wall is that kind of work. A new opening, a removed wall or framing is a permit, and so is anything that changes the fire-rated wall to the garage, and we say so before the job. The city's own FAQ says the state's new small-job exemption does not apply anywhere in Palm Beach County, so we do not promise it.
A hose that burst in July and was found in November is where the policy language matters most. A sudden discharge from a pipe or an appliance is the kind of water a homeowner policy usually covers, often under its own water deductible, but months of standing water in a closed house raise the questions the adjuster is paid to ask, and mold coverage is a separate limit on most Florida policies. We do not answer those questions; we document the wall with dated photos before the dry-out, keep the drywall scope on its own line, and replace the board only after it reads dry. Flood is a separate policy, and a block wall that has wicked for years is usually wear.
The wall and ceiling between the house and an attached garage are fire separation under the Florida Residential Code: half-inch board on the garage side, five-eighths Type X on a garage ceiling under a living space. When the water heater in the garage lets go and that wall is replaced, it goes back with the same board, which is what the code asks. Most of Palm Beach Gardens is association land, and the associations want the crew registered at the gate and the repair invisible under the approved color; interior drywall needs no form, and we schedule around the gate.

Call 561-220-5884Once the gate has our name, usually within days from our West Palm Beach office. The price is in writing on the call; most patches are finished in one visit, and a ceiling section or a full sheet may need a short second visit for the final coat.
Yes. Knockdown comes in three weights in Palm Beach Gardens, heavy in the 1980s golf communities, medium in the 2000s streets, light in the newest builds, and we spray a test on a scrap board against your wall and knock it down with the width of knife the original finisher used before we texture the repair.
The plumber fixes the hose, a dry-out company or a fan and a meter gets the cavity dry, and we come after: the soft drywall comes out, the wet insulation behind it goes, new board goes in, taped, three coats, knockdown and primer. A wall that sat wet for months is a licensed mold remediation company's call first, and we tell you that on the phone rather than at the door.
Usually. A new house settles and its framing dries for the first few years, and the drywall cracks where the sheets were cut, at the window and door corners and along the tall entry. Taped, feathered wide and textured, they stay closed. A crack still growing after year five is a question for the builder, and we say so.
Not an interior one. The association wants the crew registered at the gate and the finish invisible under the approved color, and the repair leaves textured and primed for exactly that. A shared wall in a townhome is the documents' business, and we write the scope so the board can read it.
Size, water, finish and height. Hand-sized, poster-sized or a whole sheet; dry or water-damaged; knockdown or smooth; eight feet or a two-story entry. Tell us which on the call and the price is in writing in under ten minutes.
Gladly. One hole, one crack, one ceiling ring is a quick visit, and a room of up to fifteen nail and anchor holes after a lease is a menu item of its own.
