Here's exactly what happens when you hire us for hole in drywall repair.

Text us a photo or book a visit. We confirm scope and give a firm price before any work starts. No surprises.
Arrive on time, protect the space
Floors and furniture get covered. We use a dust containment system so your home stays livable while we work.
Patch with proper backing
For anything bigger than a nail hole, we install backing (not just mesh tape) so the patch stays flat forever. Three coats of mud, sanded smooth between each.
Texture match
We feather and texture the patch to match your existing wall — orange peel, knockdown, smooth, or whatever you have. This is where cheap repairs fail.
Prime and paint
Patches always get primed so your paint doesn't flash. If you have the paint, we'll touch it up too.
Clean up, walk through, done
We vacuum, haul away debris, and walk the repair with you. You pay when you're happy.
“I have had repeated issues with my ceiling and walls cracking even after previous repairs. Clint came highly recommended by my electrician. He came in, took the time to really investigate and identify the real cause of the problem. The work was done with great care and precision, the painting is top notch and my space was always left spotless at the end of the day.”

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to fix a hole in drywall?
Small repairs (nail holes, picture anchors, small dings) start at $350. A doorknob-sized or fist-sized hole is typically $350-$500. Bigger damage — multiple holes, water damage, large sections — is quoted after seeing it. We give you the exact price before we start, and we don't charge for quotes.
Can you match my wall texture?
Yes. We match orange peel, knockdown, stipple, smooth, and most stucco finishes. Texture matching is where cheap repairs fail — a flat patch on a textured wall is obvious the second the light hits it. We take the time to get it right.
How long does a drywall hole repair take?
Most single-hole repairs are done in a single visit of 2-4 hours, but the patch needs drying time between mud coats. For a typical repair we're in and out in one day. Larger or multiple-hole jobs may need two visits.
Will the patch be visible after painting?
No — that's the whole point. We feather the patch wider than the hole, match the texture, prime, and touch-up paint so the repair disappears. If you provide your existing wall paint, the result is invisible.
Do you handle large holes or just small ones?
Both. Anything from a nail hole to a sheet of drywall replacement. For holes bigger than about 6 inches we cut out a clean square, install backing, and patch with new drywall — it's the only way to get a repair that won't crack later.
Do I need to move furniture or prep anything?
No. We bring drop sheets, plastic, and dust containment. Just clear a path to the repair area and we handle the rest. If you'd rather move things yourself, that's fine too — just let us know so we can plan.
