Drywall RepairTexture Match. Invisible Patch.
The difference between an amateur drywall patch and a pro patch is feathering. Ours blends invisibly — even under a single-coat paint rollover.
Drywall problems are everywhere. Nail pops from seasonal shrinkage, golf-ball holes from thrown toys, water stains from last winter's ice dam, hairline cracks around door frames. They all look minor until a patch job turns into a visible lump on the wall.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does drywall repair cost?
$350 minimum on any repair — paint included. 2–3 hour minimum applies even if you provide the paint. Anything over 3": $350–$550. Large holes or studded failures: $550–$950. Multi-patch visits (4–8 repairs): $550–$1,200, always includes paint. Flat-rate quote — no surprises.
Can you match my existing wall texture?
Yes. We test-spray knockdown, orange peel, skip trowel, stipple, or smooth textures on scrap first, match to your wall, then apply. No visible difference.
Will the patch show through paint?
Not if it's done right. Proper feathering — at least 12" past the patch edge — means the mud gradient is invisible under one or two coats of paint.
Do you handle water-damaged drywall?
Yes. If the source is fixed and the drywall is dry, we cut out damaged sheet, tape, mud, texture-match, and prime. If still wet or mold-suspect, we handle dryout first.
How long does a typical drywall repair take?
Most single-hole or nail-pop visits run 2–3 hours including paint. A medium 3–8" patch is usually one visit, 2–3 hours, fully painted before we leave. Multi-patch days (4–8 repairs) run 4–6 hours. Large studded failures or full ceiling water-stain rooms can require a return trip 24 hours later for a final top-coat once the mud is fully cured.
What's the minimum cost for a small drywall hole?
$350. That's NHS's flat 2–3 hour visit minimum and it includes paint. A single nail-pop or golf-ball-sized hole is the same $350 as four of them done in one visit, so most customers stack 4–8 small repairs into one trip to maximize the visit.
Do you do ceiling water-stain repair?
Yes — but only after the leak source is fixed. We block the stain with oil-based primer (water-based primer lets the stain bleed through), then apply two ceiling-paint topcoats. $350–$600 per room — paint included. If the drywall is still soft or mold is suspected, dryout and replacement come first.
