Drywall damage happens. Whether it’s a doorknob that has gone through the wall, a leaky pipe that has ruined part of the ceiling, or just wear and tear, most homeowners and renters will face the need for drywall repair at some point.

At PatchMaster, we’ve seen it all, and fixed it all. To help you understand what to expect, we’ve compiled answers to some of the most frequently asked questions about drywall repair.

What is the average cost of drywall repair?

The cost of drywall repair can vary based on the size and severity of the damage, as well as its location. Small holes and cracks are less expensive to repair, while larger issues, such as water damage or multiple holes, can increase the price.

At PatchMaster, we provide transparent, upfront pricing, so there are no surprises. We believe knowing what you’re paying for is just as important as the quality of the work itself.

What does drywall repair include?

Drywall repair is a multi-step process that involves more than just applying spackle. A proper repair typically includes:

• Removing the damaged drywall section
• Installing supportive backing to secure the patch
• Cutting and installing a new patch
• Applying joint compound (also called mud)
• Sanding for a smooth finish
• Matching texture to blend with the surrounding area
• Painting to make the repair seamless

PatchMaster offers painting and texture services, so we can handle the entire job from start to finish—no need to hire multiple contractors.

Who do I call to fix holes in walls?

You’ll want to call a drywall repair specialist, someone who understands how to blend the repair with the surrounding wall so it looks like the damage never happened.

What do you call someone who fixes drywall?

Someone who specializes in drywall repair may be called a:

• Drywall finisher
• Drywall contractor
• Drywall technician
• Handyman (though not all handymen specialize in drywall?

Can I repair the drywall myself?

You can certainly try! DIY drywall repair is possible for small dings, nail holes, and minor cracks. However, matching texture and paint, or fixing larger holes, can be trickier than it looks. Many people start a repair only to end up calling in a professional later.

If you want it done quickly, virtually dustless, and correctly the first time, PatchMaster is here to help.

How long does drywall repair take?

Most drywall repairs can be completed in a few hours. Larger or more complex repairs, such as those involving water damage or ceiling patches, may take longer. We work efficiently to minimize disruption and leave your space clean and tidy upon completion.

Is it better to repair or replace drywall?

In most cases, repairing drywall is the better option. It’s faster, more cost-effective, and less disruptive than replacing entire sheets. Full replacement is typically only necessary when there is significant water damage, mold, or structural issues.

Are you unsure which option is best for your situation? We’re happy to assess the damage and guide you to the right solution.
