Expert Drywall Installation Services in Lake County
Pro Specialty Services is a licensed Florida general contractor (CGC1538852) installing and repairing drywall across Lake County. Drywall is the finish everyone sees but nobody should notice—flat walls, crisp corners, and seams that stay invisible after paint. Getting there takes correct hanging, proper fastening, taped and coated joints, and sanding to a paint-ready standard, not just "mud and hope."
A lot of our drywall work starts with water. Roof leaks, plumbing failures, and AC condensation ruin ceilings and walls fast in Florida, and because we're also the county's roofing contractor, we fix the source and the drywall under one contract—no finger-pointing between a roofer and a handyman. The rest of our drywall work comes from remodels: new walls in a kitchen reconfiguration, ceilings after a lighting upgrade, garage conversions, and patching after electrical or plumbing rough-ins.
We hang and finish drywall in Eustis, Mount Dora, Tavares, Clermont, Leesburg, Lady Lake, The Villages, and the surrounding Lake County communities. If your project is bigger than walls—a full room, an addition, a whole-home renovation—we handle that as a licensed general contractor too.
Every job gets dust containment, floor protection, a written scope and price up front, and a finish level agreed before we start—so the only surprise is how clean the crew left the room.
Why Drywall Finish Quality Matters
Drywall is judged in raking light. A seam that looks fine at noon can telegraph through paint every evening when the sun comes across it. Finish levels exist for exactly this reason: a garage wall and a living-room ceiling under recessed lighting do not need the same treatment, and pricing them the same means you're overpaying on one or getting burned on the other. We specify the finish level in writing and sand to it.
Texture matching is where patches fail. Most Lake County homes have knockdown or orange-peel texture, and a repair that doesn't blend reads like a scar forever. We match the existing texture and feather it wide enough that the repair disappears—that's the difference between a patch and a restoration.
Moisture is the enemy underneath. Hanging new board over a leak that was never fixed, or skipping moisture-resistant board in wet areas, guarantees a repeat repair. We identify the moisture source first, use the right board for the location, and only close the wall when what's behind it is dry and sound.

Drywall Repair and Your Insurance Claim

One Contractor, Whole Claim
We repair the roof that caused the leak and the ceiling it ruined under one contract—one scope for your adjuster instead of two contractors pointing at each other.
Documentation
Moisture readings and photos of the damage before, during, and after—the record your claim needs.

What Our Customers Say
"A slow roof leak ruined half our living room ceiling. One company fixed the roof, replaced the ceiling, matched the knockdown texture perfectly, and you cannot tell anything ever happened."
"They drywalled our garage conversion and the walls are dead flat—we put a big mirror on one and there's not a ripple in the reflection. Clean crew, zero dust in the rest of the house."

Common Questions
It depends on the scope: a single patch, a water-damaged ceiling, and a full garage conversion are very different jobs. Repairs are priced by the extent of damage and the texture match required; new installation is priced by area and finish level. We give you a written price after a free assessment—no per-sheet guessing.
Yes. Most Lake County homes have knockdown or orange-peel texture, and matching it is a core part of our repair work. We blend the new texture into the surrounding surface and feather it wide so the repair disappears after paint.
Not always. If the board is dry, sound, and not sagging, the stain can often be sealed and repainted. If it's soft, sagging, or was saturated, it needs replacement. We check it with a moisture meter and tell you honestly which repair the damage requires—after confirming the leak that caused it is actually fixed.
Both. We're a licensed roofing contractor and general contractor, so the leak and the ceiling it damaged are handled under one contract. That also gives your insurance adjuster one clean scope instead of two.
Small patches are typically done in one to two visits because joint compound needs drying time between coats. A full ceiling replacement usually runs two to four days including texture and cleanup. New installation for a remodel or conversion depends on the area—we give you the timeline in the written scope.
Yes. We remove popcorn texture, repair the surface underneath, and refinish it smooth or with a modern knockdown—with full containment, since removal is one of the messiest jobs in remodeling when it's done without protection.
We install and repair drywall throughout Lake County, Florida—Eustis, Mount Dora, Tavares, Clermont, Leesburg, Lady Lake, The Villages, and surrounding communities.
