Everything You Need to Know About Drywall Repair

Most residential repairs range from $175 to $650 depending on the size and number of holes, the repair type, and the texture involved. Water damage restoration and whole-home pre-sale packages can range from $700 to $1,300+. Our minimum service charge is $175 — this reflects the cost of deploying a professional technician with full HEPA equipment. Use our Price Estimator for a quick range, or submit photos for a precise written quote within 2 hours.

Submit 2–3 clear photos of the damage along with your property address and contact information using our online estimate form. We review the photos and send you a written quote within 2 business hours (Mon–Sat 8am–6pm). There is no charge and no obligation for online estimates based on photos.

The $39 fee covers a technician's travel and time to perform a thorough in-person assessment at your property. It is credited 100% toward your repair if you approve the work — so if you proceed, the inspection effectively costs nothing. We charge it because an uncompensated site visit is not sustainable for a professional business, and it ensures customers who request on-site quotes are genuinely interested in moving forward.

Drywall repair pricing depends on the specific damage — size, depth, texture type, moisture presence, and accessibility all affect the scope. A verbal description almost always leads to an inaccurate quote that disappoints the customer at the job site. Requiring photos for an online estimate protects you from surprises and allows us to give you a number we stand behind.

Yes — our pricing tiers are designed to reflect the efficiency of completing multiple repairs in one visit. A multi-repair visit (Tier 4) covering 6–12 holes costs significantly less per repair than booking separate visits. Bundle all your repairs in one appointment for the best value.

HEPA stands for High-Efficiency Particulate Air. Medical-grade HEPA filtration (Class H13) captures 99.97% of airborne particles down to 0.3 microns — the same standard used in hospital operating rooms. We use this equipment integrated directly with our sanding and cutting tools, so dust is captured at the source before it ever becomes airborne. This is not a shop vac in the corner — it is professional-grade equipment running continuously throughout every sanding pass.

Our goal and standard is zero dust footprint outside the work area. Before any work begins, we deploy full drop cloths and plastic sheeting to isolate the repair area. HEPA extraction runs during all cutting and sanding. After completion, we vacuum and wipe down the work area. If we see any dust on surfaces outside the work area, we address it before we close out. This is a standard we hold ourselves to on every single job.

Texture matching is one of the most skill-dependent aspects of drywall repair, and it is a core competency we train for specifically. We work with all major DFW texture types: orange peel, knockdown, skip trowel, smooth skim coat, hand trowel, and acoustic/popcorn. We assess the existing texture before beginning, match the technique and aggregate size precisely, and conduct a raking-light test (flashlight parallel to the wall) before the customer walk-through to confirm the match is invisible.

A raking light test involves holding a flashlight parallel to the wall surface — which makes any imperfections (ridges, low spots, seam edges) visible that would be completely invisible under normal overhead or lamp lighting. This is the industry's highest-standard inspection method. We perform it on every repair before asking the homeowner to approve the work. If we see anything, we fix it first.

A proper repair always requires multiple coats: a fill coat with setting compound, a blocking/feathering coat with all-purpose compound (feathered 4–6" beyond the repair edge), and a finish coat with lightweight compound (feathered 8–12"). Each coat must dry completely before the next is applied. Rushing dry times is the #1 cause of visible cracks and failed repairs. We never rush the process to finish the same day when the repair doesn't support it.

Same-day appointments are often available for straightforward repairs. For planned repairs, we typically schedule within 1–3 business days. Emergency situations (active water damage, pre-inspection prep) are prioritized. Call us at 817-688-1238 for same-day availability.

Yes — we operate Monday through Saturday, 8am to 6pm. Sunday appointments are not currently available but may be accommodated by request for larger projects.

Most single-area residential repairs take 1–3 hours on-site including setup, repair, texture, and cleanup. Multi-hole visits covering 6+ repairs typically take 3–5 hours. Water damage restoration is a two-visit process (moisture assessment + repair) and may take 2–4 hours per visit. We always give you a time estimate before starting so you know what to expect.

For the initial walk-through and final customer approval we ask that you or a trusted adult be present. During the work itself, we understand you may have other tasks — you don't need to stand and watch. We simply ask for access to the work area and a way to reach you when we're done.

Yes — we service offices, commercial suites, retail spaces, and light industrial properties throughout DFW. Commercial work carries a 15% rate adjustment to reflect scheduling flexibility requirements and commercial access protocols. We are fully licensed and insured for commercial work.

Our standard 1-year workmanship warranty covers failures in the repair itself — cracking along compound seams, delamination, texture peeling, and any visible return of the original damage attributable to our work. It does not cover structural settlement (foundation movement), recurring water damage from an unresolved leak, damage caused by the customer or third parties after our work is complete, or normal aging of paint applied by others over our repair.

Contact us within the warranty period and we will come back and make it right — at no charge. We stand behind our work and we don't argue about it. Your satisfaction is the standard, not a technicality.

For $35–$55 (depending on repair tier), you can extend the standard 1-year warranty to 3 full years. The same terms apply — workmanship failures are covered. This add-on is available at time of booking and is noted on your warranty card.

Yes. Every completed job includes a written warranty card with the job reference number, date of completion, and the scope of the warranty. Keep this for your records — it is useful for real estate disclosures, HOA documentation, and future reference.

We offer premium paint finishing as a separate return-visit add-on service. After your repair is complete and the texture has cured (minimum 24 hours), we return to paint the area. We offer localized touch-up painting and full-wall painting. Note: for the best color blending result, full-wall painting is strongly recommended over localized touch-up.

Drywall compound and texture material require 24 hours minimum — often longer in DFW's high-humidity summer months — to cure completely before paint is applied. Painting over uncured compound causes the paint to crack and peel as the compound finishes drying. Scheduling paint as a return visit is the professional standard and ensures a lasting result.

Yes. Popcorn ceiling removal is priced at $2.50–$4.00 per square foot and includes the removal, skim coat or light texture application, and priming. Most rooms are completed in a single visit. We test for asbestos on older homes before proceeding — if your home was built before 1980, please let us know and we will discuss testing options.

Yes. Take a clear, well-lit photo of the existing texture on your wall and send it with your estimate request. We can identify texture types from photos and confirm before scheduling. If the texture is highly custom or unusual, our technician will assess in person.

Absolutely. Volume pricing is available for property managers, real estate investors, and multi-unit operators. We offer 5–15% discounts based on monthly volume, Net-30 invoicing for established accounts, and priority scheduling. Contact us to discuss a business account arrangement.
