Sheetrock Repair
There is often confusion when it comes to Sheetrock. Some refer to it as drywall while others may wonder if there is a difference at all. To the untrained eye, it does look similar to that of drywall. Sheetrock itself is a brand drywall but it consists of a few different materials than your standard drywall. Additionally, Sheetrock can be weatherproofed and used for exterior ceilings.

How Sheetrock Is Damaged
Sheetrock is similar to traditional drywall in many ways. While a quality building material, it doesn’t take a lot of strength to accidentally damage it. In the event of a storm, Sheetrock can sustain damage in a variety of ways. Debris from heavy winds is one of the most common, as any forceful impact against Sheetrock will likely result in damage.
However, even a minor hail storm can result in knicks and pock marks in the Sheetrock. However the damage occurs, it is important to have it taken care of while your roof is repaired.
