Common Questions

After a power surge damaged my appliances, my wall outlets sparked. Can you inspect the wiring and repair the drywall?

Absolutely. This is a common issue in Hyattsville homes. Our electricians will first perform a safety inspection of your affected circuits and outlets to ensure there's no hidden damage or fire hazard. Once the electrical repair is complete and safe, our drywall team will expertly patch, texture, and finish the wall to match your existing surface, leaving no trace of the problem.

I'm having issues with my generator transfer switch. Will fixing it require cutting into my drywall?

Often, yes. Diagnosing and repairing a generator transfer switch typically requires access to the wiring behind the wall. At J&J Handy, our process is seamless. Our electrician will locate and make the necessary access, complete the electrical repair, and then our on-site drywall specialist will immediately handle the wall patching, texturing, and painting, so you get a complete, tidy solution from one local team.

What's involved in your drywall repair service for walls damaged by electrical work?

We treat it as a start-to-finish project. After any electrical repairs are signed off, we carefully cut out the damaged drywall section, install a new patch, secure it, and apply joint tape and compound. We then sand it smooth and expertly match your existing wall texture—whether it's orange peel, knockdown, or smooth—before priming and painting for a flawless, invisible repair that restores your wall's integrity and appearance.
