Drywall Repair & Painting
Holes, cracks, nail pops, and water-stained ceilings repaired, textured to match, and repainted, so the repair disappears instead of announcing itself.

A bad patch is more obvious than the hole was
Drywall repair fails visually in two places: the feather edge and the texture. A patch that is not floated wide enough leaves a visible bump under side light, and knockdown or orange peel that does not match the surrounding wall reads as a rectangle from across the room.
Painting only the patch instead of the full wall guarantees you see it, because even the same paint from the same can flashes differently over new mud.
How we make a repair disappear
The goal is that you cannot find the repair afterward without being told where it was.
- Damage cut back to sound material and backed properly
- Multiple mud coats, each floated wider than the last
- Sanding to a feathered edge, not a ridge
- Texture matched to the surrounding surface, not approximated
- Primer over all new mud to stop flashing
- Paint carried to a natural break so there is no halo
What we repair
Doorknob holes, furniture damage, and accidental impacts. Settlement cracks at corners and above doorways. Nail pops across a ceiling. Water-stained ceilings after a leak has been fixed. Popped tape joints and corner bead damage.
One honest caveat: we are painters who repair drywall, not a restoration company. If the source of a water stain is still active, that has to be fixed first. We will tell you when the surface is not the actual problem.
Repairs before a repaint
Most drywall repair we do is part of a larger interior repaint, and that is the cheapest way to buy it. The crew is already protecting the room and already painting the wall, so the incremental cost of the repair is only the repair itself.
What the project actually looks like
- STEP 01
Diagnose the damage
We identify whether it is impact, settlement, fastener, or moisture, because the repair for each is different and moisture needs a source fix first.
- STEP 02
Repair, float, texture
Cut back, back the opening, mud in coats, sand feathered, and match the existing texture before any paint.
- STEP 03
Prime and repaint
New mud is primed, then paint is carried to a natural break in the wall so the repair is invisible under normal light.
What moves the price
We do not publish a price list, because a real number depends on your property. These are the things that actually change it, and every one of them shows up as a line item on your estimate.
- Size and number of repairs
Ten small nail pops and one large hole are very different labor profiles.
- Texture type
Smooth walls, orange peel, and heavy knockdown each take a different amount of skill and passes to match.
- Ceiling versus wall
Overhead work is slower, and ceiling texture is harder to match invisibly.
- Paint extent
Whether we repaint the patch area, the full wall, or the room changes both cost and how well the repair hides.
- Cause of damage
Water damage may need stain-blocking primer and confirmation that the source is resolved.
- Access
High ceilings, stairwells, and tight spaces need equipment and add time.
What is included, and what is not
You approve the scope in writing before we start. If it is not on the estimate, it is not in the price, and we would rather tell you that now than argue about it later.
