How the drywall repair was handled
Property managers in Tampa, Hillsborough County need a closeout they can show an owner. This drywall repair composite is that closeout.

- Replace and tape
Install patch board, tape joints, and build coats that can take texture.
- Texture and prime

- Paint-ready handoff
Leave the area sanded and clean; final color coat follows the written scope.
Why this fails in Hillsborough County
