A friend of mine has a crack in the seam in their Lanai ceiling. In this case it looks like the tape has separated so the section needs to be repaired. It's not a simple hairline crack that can be filled with caulk and re-painted.

Does anyone have any recommendations for someone that has a good record of being able to replair this type of problem? From talking with some people i know they say it's very difficult to get the "knock down" coating the same or even close to the original and the final repair is usually very noticable.

My guess is there has to be some sheetrock professionals that have the skill to do fix this so it's not too noticable.
