How to Prevent Mold and Moisture Problems in Your Garage
Garages stay damp. Wet framing and stained drywall are a drywall problem after the water is stopped. Mold cleanup on a large area is not our trade.
We Replace Garage Board. We Do Not Remediate Mold.
Ron Hogan Drywall has been family-owned since 1970. We hang Type X on garage-to-house walls, repair water-damaged drywall, and finish garage interiors in the Bay Area and Northern California. If the garage still leaks, fix that first. If the growth is more than a small surface spot, hire a mold contractor. Then call us for the board.
Why Garages Get Wet
- Wet cars and concrete that never dries
- Roof, gutter, or slab leaks
- No air movement
- Board hung on damp studs
Prevention That Protects the Walls
Stop the water
Roof, flashing, gutters, and door seals belong to those trades. Drywall over an active leak fails again.
Do not hang on wet studs
If the framing is damp, wait. Moisture in the cavity will stain new board. Prep guide →
Use the right board
The wall between garage and house is often Type X. Regular leftover 1/2-inch is the wrong panel there. Type X →
Move air and storage
A closed wet garage stays wet. Keep cardboard off the slab. Ventilation and a dehumidifier help; they do not replace a leak repair.
When to Call Us vs. Someone Else
Call Ron Hogan Drywall for stained, soft, or missing garage drywall — after the leak is stopped — and for hanging or finishing the garage-to-house wall.
Call another trade for roofing, drainage, HVAC, and mold remediation. We will not bid a cleanup we are not licensed to own.

Garage FAQs
Can you hang drywall if I still smell mildew?
Not until the source is handled and the framing is dry. Covering a wet cavity traps the problem.
Is garage drywall the same as house drywall?
The wall to the house often must be Type X. Ask before you buy leftover 1/2-inch.
Do you treat mold?
No. We replace drywall after the space is ready for new board.
Garage Drywall Soft, Stained, or Missing?
If the leak is stopped, call the family-owned Bay Area crew that replaces the board.
