Drywall Repair — Prices and Specs

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a patch cost?

$250 to $450 for a small patch. Big patches run $450 to $900.

Can you match orange peel?

Yes. Orange peel and knockdown are the common local textures. We test a spot first.

How long does a patch take?

One to two visits. Coats need dry time, so most patches span two days.

Do you fix cracks that come back?

Yes. A crack that comes back often means movement. We tape with mesh or paper per the cause and say what we find.

Is paint in the price?

The patch is primed. Finish paint is priced apart unless the bid says it is in.

Is the check free?

Yes. The check and the firm price cost nothing.

How the work runs

We cut the hurt board square, add backing, and set the patch. Coats go on with dry time in each step. Texture is shot last and checked in day light before we call it done.
