Reattaching Molding

Nail pops are not some sort of supernatural phenomenon. During heating and cooling cycles, the wooden frame of the house expands and contracts. This movement causes nails to wiggle loose and begin popping through drywall or molding. Fortunately, the cure for nail pops is simple?smack, spackle, sand and paint.

• smack, or hammer the nails back into place
  
• spackle over the nail to keep it there
  
• sand and paint and you're done
