Drywall Repair

Alongside our fencing and outbuilding work, we handle drywall repair for property owners who don't want to track down a separate contractor for a job that's often quick once someone with the right tools is on site. Most calls come from the same handful of situations — a doorknob punched through a wall, a dent from moving furniture, a crack that's opened up along a seam, or texture that's worn or damaged and needs to be matched.

Common drywall repairs we handle

Damage generally falls into a few categories, each with a different repair approach:

• Small punctures — nail holes, screw holes, or small dings that need filling and a light texture touch-up.
• Dents and surface damage — usually from furniture or an impact, without a full hole through the board.
• Medium openings — a doorknob hole or similar break that goes through the drywall and needs a patch, not just filler.
• Cracks — often along seams or corners, sometimes a sign of settling that's worth a look before just patching over it.
• Worn or damaged texture and finish — spots where the surface texture doesn't match the surrounding wall after a prior repair or water damage.

Our repair process

The steps are straightforward, but getting a patch to disappear into the wall takes some care at each stage:

• Evaluate the damage — confirm whether it's a surface fix or something that needs a cut-in patch, and check for any underlying cause worth addressing.
• Fill or patch — small damage gets filled directly; larger holes get a proper patch cut and set into the wall.
• Finish the surface — tape, mud, and sand until the patch is flush and the texture matches the surrounding wall.
• Paint — a final coat so the repair blends in rather than standing out as an obvious patch.

Repair vs. a larger fix

Most calls we get are a straightforward patch-and-paint job. Occasionally what looks like a small crack turns out to be tied to something else — a leak, settling, or an issue behind the wall — and in that case we'll say so rather than just patching over a symptom.

Matching texture and paint

The part that separates a clean repair from an obvious patch is usually the texture and paint match, not the patch itself. We take the time to match the existing wall texture before painting, since a well-mudded patch can still stand out if the texture or sheen doesn't match the surrounding surface.

Before we arrive

Clearing furniture or items away from the damaged area and letting us know if there's anything behind the wall we should be aware of (wiring, plumbing, a prior repair) helps the visit go faster.

Frequently asked questions

Do you handle drywall repair even if I'm not having fencing work done?

Yes, drywall repair is a standalone service we offer — it doesn't need to be bundled with any other project.

Can you match textured walls, not just smooth drywall?

Yes. Matching texture is part of a proper repair, and we take the time to get the surrounding texture right before painting.

What if the damage turns out to be bigger than expected once you start?

We'll let you know before doing any additional work beyond what was discussed. Most jobs are exactly what they look like, but if we find something else going on, we'd rather flag it than surprise you later.
