01What we do

A wall fixed all the way through — plus the work around it.

Drywall is the core. We take a damaged wall from tear-out to finish, then handle the painting, turnovers, cleanup, and contractor support that go with it.

02Why Poppa Mark

Not a handyman. Not a big remodeler. The contractor for damaged walls.

Most drywall problems get patched over and come right back. We'd rather open it up, fix what's actually wrong, and leave you a wall that looks like nothing ever happened — done old-school, no shortcuts.
