What Our Customers Say

Reviews from our customers on Google and Angi

"This company has done work for myself and my family including ceiling work in an older home. Our ceilings were refinished by them and its stunning how much better the entire room looks after having the cracked ceiling fixed properly."
Crystal M.
"Alex and crew did a fantastic job! They started when scheduled and came every day until completed. This was a drywall repair and painting of a powder room. Will certainly call them again when more work arises. Thanks Alex!"
Dan G.
"You cannot tell where the repairs were done because they were done so well. Alex came out to inspect after the job was completed and even made a few touch-ups with the paint."

How It Works

Our Drywall Repair Process

From assessment to invisible finish—here's what to expect.

1

Assessment

Inspect the damage and determine the best repair approach—from simple spackling to full panel replacement based on extent of damage.

2

Preparation

Protect surrounding areas with drop cloths and plastic. Wear boot covers and isolate the work zone to contain any dust.

3

Repair Work

Apply appropriate repair technique based on damage size—spackle, mesh patch, or drywall replacement with proper taping and mudding.

4

Texture Matching

Match existing wall texture whether smooth, orange peel, knockdown, or plaster texture for seamless blending with surroundings.

5

Priming

Prime all repaired areas with high-quality primer to seal the compound and ensure even paint absorption across the surface.

6

Final Inspection

Check smoothness under light, verify texture match, and ensure the repair is ready for painting with invisible results.

FAQ

Drywall Repair FAQs

Common questions about our services

Small holes (nail holes or doorknob-sized) are often under $100 when combined with other work. Medium-sized holes (a few inches across) might be a couple hundred dollars. Repairing a typical fist-sized hole costs around $150-$200 including finishing and priming.

We always prime the repaired area, which seals and protects the patch. You can paint later, but the primed spot will be visible until painted. For truly invisible results, we recommend painting the whole wall corner to corner for uniformity.

Yes, we can match common textures including orange peel, knockdown, popcorn, swirl, and hand-troweled plaster texture. We use specialized spray equipment or hand techniques to replicate patterns so the patch blends in seamlessly.

We repair plaster as well. For small cracks, we widen and fill them with high-strength compound then skim coat for a seamless look. For larger holes, we use drywall as backing or do plaster anchoring to re-secure loose plaster.

Certainly. We can sand down old patches, apply skim coats to feather edges, or cut out and redo poor repairs. If the tape is loose or there's a bulge, we'll fix it properly. Once we repair and repaint, you won't be able to tell there was ever a patch.
