On the ground in Des Plaines: Cracks in Des Plaines homes follow the construction: brick bungalows, Cape Cods and postwar ranches make up most streets, many within blocks of the Des Plaines River. River proximity and older grading make moisture a recurring theme — so the same crack that's cosmetic in one house signals movement in another, and I tell you which one you have before charging you for anything. The fix that lasts isn't spackle in the crack — it's opening it, taping with mesh or paper as the substrate demands, and feathering compound wide so the line doesn't telegraph back next season.

Most DIY crack repairs use only spackle without proper tape underneath. Without mesh or paper tape bridging the crack, compound alone will flex and crack again. I always tape first.
Most cracks are cosmetic - caused by normal home settling, temperature changes, or seasonal humidity shifts. Larger or recurring cracks can sometimes indicate a structural issue, which I'll flag honestly.
Yes - corner cracks often need a fresh corner bead and proper taping technique.
The taping method is similar, but ceiling work requires more careful texture matching since lighting often highlights imperfections.
Most single-crack repairs take 1-2 hours plus drying time between coats. I can do same-day fast-dry compound if needed.
