Drywall repair and wall prep, so the paint has something good to sit on
Holes, cracks, water damage, and texture matched and patched flat before any paint goes on.
Paint doesn't hide damage; it highlights it. Cracks at the corners, holes from old fixtures, water stains, popped nail heads, and rough previous patches all show straight through a fresh coat unless they're fixed first. We repair drywall as part of every interior job, and we also take it on as its own job when a wall needs real work before it can be painted.
That includes cutting out and replacing water-damaged sections, taping and floating cracks so they don't come back, matching an existing texture so the patch disappears, and skim-coating a wall that has too many small flaws to patch one by one. Then it's primed, because raw joint compound soaks up paint differently from the wall around it, and painted so the repair is invisible.
What's included
- Holes, dents, and old fixture openings patched and sanded flat
- Cracks at corners and seams taped and floated
- Water-damaged drywall cut out and replaced
- Popped nails and screws reset and covered
- Texture matched to the existing wall or ceiling
- Skim coats for walls with widespread damage
- Primed so the repair takes paint like the rest of the wall
The work
Often paired with: interior painting. Ask about doing them in one visit, since the prep and the setup overlap.
Questions about drywall repair & prep
Can you fix water damage on a ceiling?
Yes, once the leak itself is fixed. We replace the damaged section, tape, float, match the texture, and prime with a stain-blocking primer so the mark doesn't bleed through the new paint.
Will the patch show?
A patch that's floated wide, sanded flat, texture-matched, and primed disappears under the paint. That's the goal on every repair, and it's the difference between a quick patch and a proper one.
Do you do drywall repair without painting?
Yes, though most people have us paint the wall while we're there, since a primed patch still looks like a patch until it's painted.
