Our Expert Drywall Patching Services
We focus on precise techniques to restore your walls efficiently. Our approach ensures a smooth finish that matches the existing surface and strengthens the damaged areas.
Seamless Drywall Repair Techniques
We begin by assessing the damage to determine the root cause and tailor our repair method accordingly. Small cracks are cleaned of loose material and filled with high-quality joint compound, while larger holes require cutting out damaged drywall in clean, straight lines and installing properly sized patches with backing support.
Our patching process uses graduated layers of compound, starting with a base coat for adhesion, followed by broader finishing coats that extend well beyond the damaged area. After applying each compound layer, we sand the area smoothly using progressively finer grits to match the surrounding wall texture and eliminate any ridges or imperfections.
Blending Patches for Invisible Results
Matching the repaired area with the existing wall texture and paint requires careful material selection and application techniques. We analyze your wall's specific texture pattern, whether smooth, orange peel, knockdown, or custom finish, and use appropriate tools and methods to replicate it precisely over the patched area.
We use fine sanding techniques and feather the joint compound well beyond the patch edges, sometimes extending 12-18 inches from the repair site to avoid any abrupt changes in the wall surface. This gradual transition technique helps the patch disappear visually and prevents the common "patch outline" problem that occurs with amateur repairs. Color matching the paint or finish is equally important for invisible results.
Repairing Drywall Holes, Cracks, and Dents
Our comprehensive repair services cover all common drywall damage types using appropriate techniques for each situation. For dents caused by minor impacts like doorknobs or furniture, we assess whether the drywall paper is intact and fill the depression with compound, building up layers gradually without removing large wall sections.
Holes are handled based on size and cause - nail holes receive simple filling with lightweight spackle, while screw holes or small anchor holes get cleaned and filled with setting compound for strength. Cracks receive special diagnostic attention to identify whether they're caused by settling, temperature changes, or structural movement.
Drywall Finishes and Textures We Offer
We focus on matching your existing drywall finishes exactly, ensuring repairs blend smoothly into your walls. Our services cover a range of textures and finishes tailored to your needs and aesthetic preferences.
Custom Texture Matching
We carefully analyze the texture of your current drywall to recreate it precisely using specialized tools and techniques. This process involves visiting your property, assessing the wall surface under different lighting conditions, and selecting the correct materials, spray patterns, and application methods to achieve an exact match.
Our team replicates common textures like knockdown, orange peel, skip trowel, and popcorn finishes using professional equipment including texture hoppers, spray guns, and hand tools. We also handle less common patterns like stomped textures, swirl patterns, and custom decorative finishes that require specialized application techniques.
Smooth and Textured Options
We offer both smooth and textured drywall finishes depending on your design preferences and practical needs. Smooth finishes create a modern, clean look that's ideal for contemporary spaces and showcases architectural details, but require Level 4 or Level 5 finishing techniques for optimal results under various lighting conditions.
Textured finishes add visual dimension and effectively hide minor imperfections, nail pops, and joint irregularities while providing easier maintenance over time. We apply textures consistently across patched areas using proper spray patterns, roller techniques, or hand application to ensure uniformity and avoid contrast with existing wall surfaces.
Aesthetic Enhancements for Drywalls
Beyond basic patching, we provide comprehensive finishing touches that enhance your walls' overall appearance and prepare them for long-term durability. This includes progressive sanding with appropriate grits, thorough cleaning to remove dust, and applying high-quality primer that seals the surface and ensures uniform paint absorption.
Our surface preparation process addresses any remaining imperfections, ensures proper texture consistency, and creates optimal conditions for paint adhesion. Our goal is to restore or improve wall aesthetics so your drywall looks fresh, professionally maintained, and ready for any decorative treatment you choose.

How do you fix large holes in drywall?
Large holes require cutting out a square or rectangular section around the damage, then installing a new piece of drywall cut to fit precisely. We secure the patch with backing material or existing studs, apply joint tape and multiple coats of compound, then sand smooth. Finally, we match the existing texture and prime the area for painting to ensure an invisible repair.
Can small nail holes in drywall be patched easily?
Yes, small nail holes are easily patched with spackling compound or lightweight joint compound. We clean out any loose material, fill the hole slightly above the surface level, let it dry completely, then sand smooth and prime. Most nail holes can be repaired quickly and painted the same day, making them virtually invisible when completed properly.
What's the difference between mesh and paper patches for drywall?
Paper patches provide stronger, more durable repairs and work better for stress-prone areas like corners or high-traffic zones. They require embedding in wet joint compound but create smoother, less visible seams. Mesh patches are self-adhesive and quicker to apply but are best for small repairs in low-stress areas. We select the appropriate patch type based on hole size, location, and long-term durability needs.
