Drywall & Plaster Repair

If you can see the patch through the paint, the patch wasn't done right. Settling cracks, doorknob holes, water-damaged ceilings, and old plaster failures all need different repair approaches. We've handled them all and we know when a wall needs taping versus when it just needs a skim coat.

Repairs we handle

• Settling cracks — hairline through quarter-inch
• Doorknob and accident holes
• Water damage — once the leak is fixed
• Stress cracks at corners of doors and windows
• Popped nails and screws
• Texture matching — knockdown, orange peel, smooth
• Old plaster wall stabilization and skim-coating
• Ceiling repairs after roof leaks or pipe damage

Why most patches fail

• Mud applied too thick — cracks as it dries
• No tape over a moving crack — opens right back up
• Wrong texture — patch is visible from across the room
• No primer on the patch — flashes through the paint
• We don't skip any of these steps

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to fix water damage before painting?

Yes — and we need to be sure the leak is fixed first. Painting over wet drywall traps moisture and grows mold. We're happy to coordinate with a plumber or roofer if needed.

Can you match my texture?

In almost every case, yes. Knockdown, orange peel, and smooth are routine. Heavy hand-troweled textures take more time but we can match them.

Do you do small repairs or only big projects?

Both. We do single-hole repairs, and we do whole rooms. Minimum trip charge applies on small jobs.
