Drywall Repair Services
Hole Repair
Doorknob holes, removed fixture holes, accidental damage, and punch-throughs. We use the California patch method for medium holes and backing-plate techniques for larger openings. Every repair is compounded, sanded, and textured to match the surrounding wall so the patch is invisible after painting.
Crack Repair
Settling cracks, stress cracks at door and window corners, and tape joint failures. We cut out failed tape, re-tape with proper technique, and apply multiple coats of compound with full feathering. For recurring cracks caused by structural movement, we use flexible mesh tape and elastomeric compounds that absorb future shifting.
Water Damage Restoration
Roof leaks, burst pipes, and plumbing failures can saturate drywall and promote mold growth. We assess the full extent of water penetration, remove all compromised material, treat exposed framing for mold prevention, and install new drywall with proper moisture barriers. We coordinate with plumbers to ensure the water source is resolved first.
Repairs That Disappear After Painting
The mark of a quality drywall repair is invisibility. After we finish and the painter applies their coat, you should not be able to find the repair, even under direct light. That is our standard on every job.
Exact Texture Matching
We analyze your existing wall texture and replicate it precisely over the repaired area. Whether your home has orange peel, knockdown, skip trowel, or smooth walls, we match the pattern, density, and scale so the repair blends with the original surface.
Feathered Compound Edges
We feather joint compound well beyond the repair area so there is no ridge, bump, or visible transition between the patch and the existing wall. Multiple thin coats blended outward create a surface that reads as one continuous plane.
Critical Lighting Inspection
Before we call any repair complete, we inspect it under raking light positioned at a sharp angle to the wall. This reveals imperfections that normal room lighting hides. If we can see it under raking light, we rework it until it passes.
Proper Repair Method Selection
Different types of damage require different repair techniques. We do not use one method for everything. California patches for medium holes, backing plates for large openings, re-taping for cracks, full panel replacement for water damage. The right method produces a lasting, invisible repair.
Texture Matching After Repair
Every repaired area receives texture that matches the surrounding wall exactly. Orange peel, knockdown, smooth, skip trowel -- we replicate the existing pattern using the same spray settings and technique. We test on a sample area first and adjust until the match is precise before applying to the full repair.
Nail Pop & Screw Pop Repair
Nail pops and screw pops occur when fasteners back out of studs over time, creating small bumps or circles in the wall surface. We reset the fastener at the correct depth, add a new screw nearby to secure the panel, then compound and sand the area smooth. This prevents the pop from recurring.
Dent & Gouge Repair
Furniture impacts, moving damage, and general wear create dents and gouges in drywall surfaces. We fill with joint compound in thin layers, feathering each coat outward to avoid visible edges or sanding ridges. The result is a smooth, flat surface with no evidence of the original damage after painting.
Drywall Repair Process
Damage Assessment
We inspect the damaged area to determine the type, extent, and cause of the damage. For water damage, we check for mold and assess whether the moisture source has been addressed. You receive a clear scope of work and cost estimate before any repair begins.
Area Preparation
We protect surrounding surfaces with drop cloths and plastic sheeting. Damaged material is carefully removed without affecting adjacent intact drywall. For water damage, we cut back to sound material and treat exposed framing if needed.
Repair & Compound
The appropriate repair method is applied based on damage type. New drywall patches are cut precisely, backed properly, and secured. Joint compound is applied in multiple thin coats with full drying time between each. Edges are feathered well beyond the repair boundary.
Texture Matching
After the compound is sanded smooth, we apply texture that matches the existing wall pattern. We test the texture on a sample area and adjust spray settings until the match is exact. The texture is applied and allowed to dry fully.
Final Inspection
Every repair is inspected under raking light to verify it is smooth, properly textured, and invisible from normal viewing angles. We walk through the completed work with you to confirm satisfaction before the surface is declared paint-ready.
