How do I repair nails coming out of my sheetrock?

Nail pops

If nails pop out of the wall, it is because they were not tight. To repair, put a sheetrock screw above and below each nail pop. Be sure to turn the screws enough to dimple the rock, but not enough to tear the paper. Fill the holes and repaint.
