Drywall Repair

Drywall patching and repair

Holes from door handles, anchors that ripped out, cracks above doorways, a ceiling stain after an ice dam. I patch it, match the texture as close as it'll go, and leave it ready for paint.

Small patches can sometimes be done in one visit. Bigger ones need time for mud to dry between coats, so I'll tell you up front if it's a two-trip job.

Common jobs

  • Door-knob and furniture holes
  • Ripped-out anchors and old mounting holes
  • Settling cracks above doors and windows
  • Water-stained ceiling patches (after the leak is fixed)
  • Corner bead repairs
  • Orange peel and knockdown texture matching
  • Spot priming and touch-up paint

Scope

Patching and repair work. Whole-room re-drywalling, mold remediation and anything behind the wall involving wiring or pipes are referred to the right licensed trade.

Drywall Repair: questions

Will the patch be invisible?

On a flat or lightly textured wall, once it's painted it should be hard to spot. Heavy hand textures are harder to match exactly; I'll tell you what to expect before I start.

Do you paint after patching?

I'll prime and touch up if you have the paint. If the wall color is old or faded, a patch can stand out, and painting the full wall is the better fix.

How long does a drywall repair take?

Small holes are often one visit. Larger patches need two or three coats with drying time between, so plan on a return trip.
