I have a 3 year old house with rounded wall corners. They are denting
and the metal is seperating out of the wall. Anyone know the best way
to redo these.

Depends on how big the gap is. If its just a small crack, fill with acrylic (or
_paintable_ silicone) caulk, fill the dent it with wallboard compund and paint
over. If there's a large gap, you may need to secure with a small screw.

As the reader above implies, you may also add corner gaurds.
Apparently these corners are taking a beating for some reason. Also
when you try to press or secure the metal back in place, it may not
want to stay. If a screw or nail won't hold, cut the peice out with a
hacksaw and replace with new peice.

i guess ill have to replace them all with the plastic kind.
there doesnt seem to be any filler behind the metal corners, you an
push your finger through the wall about 3 inches out from the corner.
with not much pressure.

If you don't have any nailable structure at the room corners, I'd be seriously
concerned about what other shortcuts your builder took.
