Drywall Repair services

Repair pricing depends on the size and condition of the damage, wall or ceiling access, the material, and the finish that needs to be matched. Send photos and your location for a free quote. Include any other repairs you want handled together so we can confirm the full scope and price before work starts.

We repair holes of any size — from doorknob punctures and pulled TV-mount anchors to full section replacement — plus settlement cracks, seam and tape failure, water-stained walls and ceilings, nail pops, and failed patches from previous repairs. We also handle texture matching, popcorn ceiling removal, and complete drywall replacement when the board itself is beyond saving. If damage keeps coming back after someone else's fix, the taping, backing, and underlying cause need assessment before we recommend a repair.

Texture matching is included in every repair at no extra charge. We identify your existing texture — orange peel, knockdown, skip trowel, or smooth — and replicate it over the repaired area so the patch blends naturally once painted. Smooth walls are actually the toughest standard: they call for a Level 4–5 finish with wide feathering and extra sanding passes, because paint sheen shows every ridge. On older walls with multiple paint layers, an exact match depends on surface history, but the goal is always a repair you can't find afterward.

Most single-area repairs take 1–3 hours on site, but proper drywall work follows a two-visit cycle: visit one covers backing, patching, taping, and compound build coats; the mud must dry fully before visit two, when we sand, match texture, and prime. Small repairs can finish in one trip with fast-setting compound. Larger patches and water damage always get the second visit — rushing coats before they dry is how patches end up visible. We give you a realistic schedule before we start.

Water-damaged drywall repair should begin after the leak is resolved, the affected materials are assessed, and any necessary drying or remediation is complete. Sound board with only staining may be prepared, primed, and painted; damaged board may need replacement. A stain alone does not mean the wall must be opened. We confirm the repair and finish scope before starting.

Recurring ceiling cracks usually mean the previous repair didn't address the root cause — failed tape, weak compound, or seasonal movement at the joint. Ceilings take framing movement directly, which is why surface-filling with spackle never holds. We cut out the damaged section, apply proper fiberglass mesh or paper tape with setting compound, build the joint in layers with full drying between coats, sand smooth, and prime. The repair addresses the failed joint; continued movement can cause new cracking.
