Drywall Cracks Appearing After 3 Months – Should I Be Worried?
We recently finished a small renovation in our house about 3 months ago. Everything looked perfect at first, but now I’m starting to notice thin cracks along a few drywall joints, especially near the ceiling corners and above one doorway.
They’re not huge cracks, just hairline ones, but since the work is still pretty new, it’s bothering me. I’m not sure if this is normal settling or if it’s something that wasn’t done properly during installation.
The contractor did mention that some minor settling can happen, especially with seasonal temperature changes. But I’m wondering should drywall start cracking this soon? Or does that usually mean the taping or mudding wasn’t done correctly?
For those with experience:
Is this considered normal?
Should I call the contractor back under warranty?
Or is this just cosmetic and easy to fix?
Would appreciate some honest input before I overreact 😅
