What to Expect

How It Works

Assessment

We examine the damage — size, cause, surrounding texture. For water damage we verify the source is fixed before patching.

Repair & Backing

Hole cut clean, backing installed if needed, patch fitted and fastened. Cracks scored and filled properly — not just spackled over.

Tape, Mud & Sand

Paper or mesh tape applied, two to three coats of joint compound, feathered smooth, sanded between coats.

Texture & Prime

Existing texture matched — orange peel, knockdown, skip trowel. Surface primed and handed back paint-ready.

Got Questions?

FAQ — Drywall Repair

Can you match my wall texture?

Yes. We match orange peel, knockdown, skip trowel, popcorn, and smooth. We test on a small area first to ensure the blend is right before finishing.

How long before I can paint?

Joint compound needs 24–48 hours to dry fully depending on humidity. We prime the patch so it accepts paint evenly and won't flash through.

Do I need to buy materials?

We carry standard drywall materials and tools. For large jobs we'll specify what's needed. Materials are charged at cost — no markup.

What if the damage came from a water leak?

We always verify the leak is fixed before patching. Repairing over an active leak is pointless — we'll let you know what to check first.

Can you do ceiling repairs?

Yes — ceiling texture, water rings, sagging sections, and plaster cracks. Ceiling work typically requires more drying time between coats but the result is the same.

Will the repair be visible after painting?

When done correctly — no. Proper feathering, texture matching, and priming make repairs invisible under paint. We stand behind our work with a 30-day guarantee.
