Let’s patch things up, shall we?
Why Drywall Repair Is More Than Just Cosmetic
Sure, a hole in the wall isn’t pretty. But drywall damage does more than hurt your home’s aesthetics—it can lead to deeper problems. Moisture intrusion, insulation issues, and even structural weakness can all stem from neglected drywall.
That small damaged area you’ve been ignoring might be letting cold air in. That crack in the corner could expand and affect the entire wall. Repair the damage early, and you’ll save time, money, and energy down the line. In some extreme cases, full panel drywall installation may be needed. Every project and obstacle is different!
Plus, when it comes time to repaint, a smooth drywall surface is essential for a flawless paint job. No one wants to paint over imperfections—and we won’t let you.
Types of Drywall Damage We Repair
Drywall isn’t invincible. Life happens, and your walls take the hit. Here are the most common issues we fix:
Small Holes, Dents & Dings
These often come from nails, screws, doorknobs, or—you guessed it—kids being kids. We patch small holes using lightweight joint compound, sand them smooth, spot prime, and prep them for paint. It’s all part of the job.
Cracks
Cracks can occur due to settling foundations, temperature fluctuations, or improper taping during installation. Our team uses professional techniques combined with top-of-the-line tools and materials to ensure those cracks don’t come back.
Popped Nail Heads
When drywall screws or nails back out, they create a bump—or even break through the paint. We sink the screw head properly, apply joint compound, feather the edges of the patch, then sand and prime.
Water Damage
Drywall and moisture are not friends. From slow leaks to sudden floods, we replace water-damaged sections and treat surrounding areas to ensure your wall is dry, safe, and mold-free.
Large Drywall Holes
Large holes? No big deal. Whether it’s a major impact or cutouts from plumbing or electrical work, we’ll cut a new piece of drywall, screw it in place, tape the seams, apply mud, sand, prime, and paint. Seamless.
Texture Matching
Got orange peel, knockdown, or skip trowel? We can match any texture so your newly repaired section blends perfectly with the rest of the wall.

Our Seamless Drywall Repair Process
We don't just slap on a patch and call it a day. Our wall repair process is meticulous because you deserve results that last.
Step 1: Assessment & Preparation
We start by assessing the damage, locating wall studs if necessary, and preparing the space. We cover floors and furniture to protect your home during the repair process.
Step 2: Cutting & Securing
For larger holes, we cut a new piece of drywall to size, secure it with drywall screws, and make sure it sits flush with the surrounding wall surface.
Step 3: Taping & Mudding
Next, we apply tape over the seams and cover them with drywall mud (a.k.a. joint compound). We let the compound dry according to the manufacturer's instructions before sanding it down for a smooth finish.
Step 4: Sanding & Feathering
Using a putty knife and sanding tools, we feather the edges of the patch so it blends flawlessly with the rest of the wall. We sand between coats if needed.
Step 5: Priming
Here's where many DIYers drop the ball. Before painting drywall, you need to apply drywall primer to the newly repaired areas. This ensures even paint absorption and prevents flashing. We choose which product to use based on the wall condition. Sometimes, we spot prime; other times, we prime the whole wall—it all depends on what the paint job calls for.
Step 6: Painting
Whether you want to paint the entire wall or just touch up the repaired section, we've got you covered. We always recommend using low VOC paint and, when needed, two coats of paint for maximum coverage and color match.

Painting Process After Drywall Repair
We get this question a lot: “Can I just slap some paint on it after you patch the wall?” Not quite. There’s a bit more science behind painting drywall than most people think.
1. Prime the Patched Areas
Use a primer coat to seal the newly repaired surface. Drywall mud absorbs paint differently than the rest of the wall. Skipping this step leads to mismatched paint sheens.
2. Match the Wall Paint
Matching your current wall color is crucial. We can tint paint on-site or reference previous paint codes if you have them. If not, we do our best to match using multiple cans of paint samples.
3. Repaint the Entire Wall (If Needed)
In some cases, especially with eggshell or flat finishes, you’ll need to repaint the entire wall to get a seamless look. Don’t worry—we’ll walk you through your options and help you decide what’s best.
4. Apply Two Coats
To ensure lasting coverage, we usually recommend two coats of paint. This locks in color, adds durability and hides imperfections.
What People Are Asking
1: How long does it take to repair drywall?
Minor repairs like nail holes can take less than a day. Larger repairs that involve replacing a piece of drywall or repainting the entire wall may take 2–3 days, including drying time.
2. Do I need to prime before painting drywall?
Yes! Always use a drywall primer or spot prime repaired areas to prevent uneven paint absorption. Some repairs may need a full coat of primer, depending on the extent of the patch.
3. Can you fix textured walls?
Absolutely. We specialize in texture matching—whether it’s orange peel, knockdown, or custom textures.
4. Will the patch be visible after painting?
Not with us. We pride ourselves on seamless repairs. With proper priming, sanding, and feathering, the repair should disappear into the rest of the wall surface.
5. What kind of primer should you use?
Depending on your wall type and condition, we recommend low VOC primers like Gardz, Kilz PVA primer, or Zinsser. Each has its own use case.
6. Is it better to patch small holes or replace the whole drywall sheet?
Patching is the best route for isolated issues like small holes or dents. For extensive water damage or multiple areas, replacing a whole piece of drywall may be smarter.
7. Do you handle ceiling drywall repair?
Yes! Ceilings get damaged, too, and we handle them with the same level of care and expertise.
