Nail pops and settling cracks in newer Dublin homes

The Census median year built in Dublin is 2004, and 30.6% of its housing units went up between 2010 and 2019. New houses have their own drywall problems. Framing lumber keeps drying and shrinking for the first few years, which pushes nail and screw heads out as pops and opens hairline cracks at corners and above doors.

Send a photo with the light raking across the wall, which is how nail pops and seams show up best. We reset or replace the fastener, re-tape any loose seam, feather the compound and match the texture before primer and paint. Most patches need two or three short visits while the compound dries between coats.

Worth knowing about Dublin

  • Only 19.4% of Dublin's 25,157 housing units were built before 1980; the busiest building decade was the 2010s, with 30.6% of units.
  • In the early 1960s the Volk-McLain company built a large suburban development, and Dublin grew from a few hundred residents to several thousand between 1960 and 1965.
  • Eastern Dublin, just over 3,500 acres, has grown fast over the past 15 years with attached and detached homes and is projected to build out in 2035.

Junior and his crew were awesome to work with. Junior was always on time, respectful, thoughtful, and meticulous in his work. He is genuinely a kind soul and a great human - as were all his crew members. The work was very fairly priced. He always showed up when he said he would and he never kept me guessing. I would strongly recommend his group. For reference, he did a full interior remodel/refresh of our condo: floors, kitchen, walls, and bathrooms.

J&J and Junior and crew provides great Handyman services and support especially for seniors that need a little excellent home maintenance for a reasonable price. Junior and crew repaired and caulked my upstairs shower pan to its shower wall and helped mme clean up my roof deck by cleaning up leafe debris. They were prompt and knowledgeable and honest about their estimates to complete the maintenance. Highly recommended for repair and fixing those tough maintenance jobs you don’t have the time or expertise to finish.

Drywall & ceilings in Dublin: questions

Do you work in Dublin?

Yes. Dublin is about 35 road miles from our base in San Bruno, roughly 49 minutes without traffic. We work all over town, from San Ramon Village to Schaefer Ranch.

Who issues permits in Dublin?

The City of Dublin Community Development Department, Building and Safety Division. Repairs and like-for-like replacements often don't need a permit; layout changes, new plumbing or new electrical usually do. When one is needed, the job is contracted through our licensed partner Bay Builder Inc.

When can noisy work happen in Dublin?

As a condition of every Dublin building permit, construction is prohibited between 7 p.m. and 7 a.m. and on Sundays and holidays. We schedule noisy work inside those hours.

Can you match my wall texture?

Usually, yes. We test the texture on the patch before painting. On very old or hand-troweled walls a perfect match isn't always possible, and we'll tell you before we start.
