        "text": "Yes, you can paint over stained or water-damaged garage drywall, but only after fixing the source of moisture and applying a stain-blocking primer. Whether damage came from roof run-off or plumbing, wet drywall must dry out completely or be cut out and replaced if the core has degraded. At HH Remodeling LLC, our carpentry and drywall team cuts out rotted sections, patches new drywall, and coats remaining water stains with an oil-based or high-adhesion primer so stains never bleed through the topcoat.",
        "@type": "Answer",
        "description": "Yes, provided the moisture leak is solved, damaged sheetrock is patched, and an oil- or stain-blocking primer is used before the topcoat."
