What Actually Changes the Price
Small holes (nail holes, doorknob dents, small cracks) These are the most common calls we get. A quick patch, sand, and texture match. Most jobs in this range are done in under an hour. You’re looking at $89–$130.
Medium holes (fist-sized, outlet cutouts, minor water damage) This takes more material and time cutting the damaged section, adding backing, mudding in two to three coats, and texturing to match your wall. Usually $150–$220.
Large section repairs or water-damaged areas If your drywall got wet from a leak, or you have a big section that needs replacing, the price reflects the extra material and labor. These jobs run $220–$350+. If there’s an active leak behind it, that gets handled first before we touch the drywall.
Texture matching This is honestly what separates a clean repair from one that looks patched. Smooth walls are easier. Popcorn or orange peel texture takes more time and skill. If texture matching is needed, factor in an extra $30–$60 depending on the wall size.
A Few Things That Can Push the Price Up
- Multiple holes or damage across several rooms
- Ceiling repairs (harder to access, more labor)
- Water stains that need priming before painting
- Paint touch-up after the repair (we offer this too — ask us when you call)
