Why us
Why Customers Choose Our Repair Team
Walker Painting repairs the wood and paints the surface, so customers deal with one company. The company has painted 12,000+ homes, and most of its painters have stayed for 15+ years. The company vets and reference-checks every painter, and it holds licenses in Nassau and Suffolk counties.
- Experience: the company has been in business for 30+ years.
- Reputation: the company is rated 5.0 stars across 300+ Google reviews.
- Insurance: liability insurance covers New York City work.
- Lead safety: the company is a certified lead paint renovator and is lead-safe certified for pre-1978 homes.
The wood and drywall work is not a separate vendor's job, so the crew that fixes a board is the crew that paints it. A one-year written warranty covers paint failure on every paint job, and heavy canvas drop cloths protect your floors while the crew works.
Pricing
Repair Pricing and What Affects the Cost
The company does not list a price for its carpentry work, and this page does not invent one. Three things set the cost: the materials, such as siding boards, door frames, trim, wood, shingles, sheetrock or drywall, the size of the damaged area and the number of spots to fix.
To get a number, ask for an estimate. It is free, it happens at your property and it carries no obligation. Call 516-447-2732 at any time, since the phones are answered 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Crews start a repair job as early as the next day.
How it works
How Our Repair Process Works
Walker Painting runs each repair through five stages.
- Inspection and proposal: a crew member looks at the damage and writes up the work.
- Scheduling: you pick a start date, and crews can start the repair as early as the next day.
- Protection: heavy canvas drop cloths cover the floors, and furniture goes to the center of the room.
- Repair: the crew replaces rotted wood or shingles, patches sheetrock or drywall and installs molding.
- Finish: scraping, sanding, caulking and priming come next, then paint, a detail review and cleanup.

More detail
Carpentry Repairs: What the Service Actually Includes
The service has four parts: molding, rotted wood, sheetrock and drywall.
- Molding: the crew installs all types of molding.
- Rot: the crew handles rotted wood and shingle replacement.
- Sheetrock: the crew handles sheetrock patching.
- Drywall: the crew handles water-damaged drywall repair.
A visit can cover one of these or all four, and the proposal lists the repairs one by one.
Wood and Drywall Services Our Team Provides
The team replaces rotted wood and shingles, patches sheetrock, repairs water-damaged drywall and installs all types of molding. Each job starts with the free on-site estimate, and the proposal lists every damaged spot.
Small fixes fit the Painter For A Day service, which covers one room, one day, one painter, with molding, trim touch-ups, ceilings after repairs and small plaster and spackle patching on its list. The company decides honestly whether a room qualifies as one day's work, so a bigger repair gets a full estimate instead.
What Each Repair Involves, Step by Step
Each repair follows the same path from damage to finished surface. The crew finds the damaged area, fixes the wood, shingle, sheetrock or drywall and then preps the spot for paint with sanding, caulking and priming.
- Rotted wood and shingles: the crew handles the replacement before any paint goes on.
- Sheetrock: the crew handles the patching before the wall is primed.
- Water-damaged drywall: the crew handles the repair before the wall is primed.
- Molding: the crew installs it, and moldings are usually painted with semi-gloss paint.
How We Plan the Work Around Your Situation
A single cracked wall in a bedroom needs different planning than rotted boards on a whole house. Tell the estimator which situation you have. Homeowners in Nassau County, Suffolk County, Queens and Manhattan get the same free on-site estimate, and Nassau County is the primary service area.
Commercial property owners can ask about offices, retail interiors, restaurants, apartments, condominiums and warehouses. Night, weekend or phased scheduling may be available when it is included in the proposal.
What to Expect Before, During, and After the Repair
Before the Repair
The crew member inspects the damage at your home and writes the proposal. Point out every soft board, stain and crack, and mention the age of the house, because the company is lead-safe certified for pre-1978 homes.
During the Repair
Canvas drop cloths protect the floors, and furniture sits in the center of the room on casters. The crew does the wood, shingle, sheetrock, drywall or molding work.
After the Repair
The company has not published a care schedule for repaired surfaces, so ask the crew what to expect. A one-year written warranty covers paint failure, and the crew ends with a detail review and cleanup.
How Carpentry Fits With Our Other Services
Carpentry comes first and paint comes second, so the same crew does both. A rotted board gets fixed before it is painted, and a sheetrock patch goes in before the primer.
The company is a painting contractor first. It offers exterior painting, interior painting, house painting, commercial painting, cabinet painting, epoxy flooring and power washing, and it handles the wood and drywall fixes that come before those paint jobs. One crew can finish interior painting and exterior painting in the same visit plan.
Painting exterior trim and painting cabinet doors both start after the damage is fixed. The company also stains or paints decks and removes wallpaper. Whole-house painting projects include a free color consultation, and painters who fix the wood also paint it, which keeps these painting services under one warranty and one phone number.
Signs It Is Time for a Repair
A few warning signs point to a repair: wood that feels soft under a screwdriver, shingles that have slipped or split, trim that has pulled away from the wall, a hole in sheetrock and a ceiling or wall stain that spreads after rain, which points to water damage. Window frames, door frames, siding and garage trim are common spots.
Any of these is a reason to book an estimate. Paint over damaged wood or wet drywall does not fix the damage underneath, so the repair belongs before the paint job.
