The screw head is protruding from the drywall

Hi,

does anyone know this or has ever had it?

We have some screw heads with bulges that protrude from the drywall.

Does anyone know what causes this?

For me, it looks different... The panels were not screwed snugly onto the underlying profiles (whether wood or metal), but in some places there was a bit of air between the panel and the profile. (Profile warped, or panel) The screw, on the other hand, sits firmly inside the profile. If someone now pushes against the panel, stumbles against it, leans on it, etc., the panel slides all the way to the profile. The screw, however, stays where it is, pushing your filler along with the paint upwards, and the "damage" is perfect...

Sounds plausible. Although that only occurs at the slope or ceiling, so there's not much pressing or stumbling. But presumably, it’s enough just from the general settling.

The construction company says the painter is to blame.
