Drywall Hole Repair, Patched and Texture-Matched

What counts as a hole repair

Impact damage, furniture dings, a fist through the wall, a dented corner from moving day — if the damage is smaller than one sheet of drywall (4 ft by 4 ft), it's a hole repair. That covers small dings up to 6 inches, medium damage up to 2 ft by 2 ft, and larger impact holes up to 4 ft by 4 ft, each with its own price on the price list.

A second hole in the same room on the same visit is priced as an add-on, not a second full repair. Looking for a specific cause instead of general impact damage — a plumber's access cutout, an electrician's cutout, or an outlet opening cut too big? See drywall repair after a plumber, drywall repair after an electrician, or outlet and panel cutout repair.

Patch and texture match

The drywall gets cut back to sound material, patched, and the surrounding texture matched — orange peel, knockdown or smooth, whichever the wall already has. Standard texture matching is included in every repair; detailed hand textures and premium finishes carry an add-on, explained on texture matching.

Once the patch and texture are done, the wall is ready for a roller. If you'd rather we painted it, a full wall repaint, corner to corner, is a separate return visit once the texture has dried — see drywall repair and painting for how that works and what it costs.

Getting a firm price

Text 2-3 photos — one close up, one from a few steps back — along with the year your home was built. That's enough for a firm price back by text; quotes from photos are free. If a photo doesn't tell the whole story, an in-person look is $150, credited to the repair if you book it.

Homes built before 1980 are likely to contain asbestos, and we don't work on homes built with asbestos materials — that's part of why the year built matters as much as the photos. Send both through the quote page.

What happens on repair day

You don't need to be home. A lockbox code or an unlocked door works, and you'll get a text when we're on the way. Floors, nearby walls and anything close to the work get covered with tape and plastic before we start; a couch in the way is moved and covered, too, as part of the job.

The plastic catches most of the dust, and the work area gets cleaned up before we lock up and go. Most repairs finish in one visit; see the full price list for every size and add-on.
