Drywall Repair Texture 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?
Most small drywall jobs run about $350, paint included. 2–3 hour minimum applies even if you provide the paint. Anything over 3": $350–$630. Large holes or studded failures: $630–$1,090. Multi-patch visits (4–8 repairs): $630–$1,380 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 does a small drywall hole cost?
A single small hole typically runs about $350 with paint included. Drywall visits carry a flat 2–3 hour minimum, 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–$690 per room — paint included. If the drywall is still soft or mold is suspected, dryout and replacement come first.
