Drywall patch repair covers everything from small nail holes and doorknob dents to medium punch-through holes and large water-damaged sections. Small holes (under 4 inches) use a self-adhesive mesh patch. Medium holes (4-12 inches) require a California patch or backer board method. Large sections require cutting out damaged drywall, adding framing, and installing a new piece. All repairs include multiple coats of joint compound, sanding smooth, and priming so the patch is invisible once painted. We match the existing wall texture (smooth, orange peel, knockdown, or skip trowel) for a seamless finish.

Lafayette se encuentra en el condado de Contra Costa (East Bay). Affluent Lamorinda community with hillside homes and excellent schools. El proveedor local de energia es PG&E.

Cronograma del Proyecto

Damage Assessment & Prep

10-15 min per patch

Assess each hole or damaged area, determine the patch method (mesh patch, California patch, or full section replacement), and prepare the area by removing loose material and cleaning the edges.

Patch Installation

15-30 min per patch

Apply the appropriate patch — self-adhesive mesh for small holes, backer board with drywall piece for medium holes, or cut and fit a new drywall section for large damage.

Mudding & Sanding

Multiple coats with drying time

Apply 2-3 coats of joint compound, feathering each coat wider than the last. Allow drying between coats (30-60 min for quick-set). Sand smooth after the final coat and apply texture match if needed.

Priming

10-15 min per patch

Apply drywall primer over the patched area to seal the joint compound and ensure even paint absorption. The patch is now ready for the homeowner to paint-match.

Drywall Patch Repair en Lafayette — Preguntas Frecuentes

How much does drywall repair cost?+

Small patches (under 4 inches) cost $75-$150 each in the Sacramento area. Medium patches (4-12 inches) run $100-$200. Large sections requiring new drywall cost $200-$400+ depending on size and texture matching.

Do you paint after patching the drywall?+

We prime the patch so it's paint-ready. Full wall painting is available as an add-on service. For a seamless match, we recommend painting the entire wall from corner to corner rather than just spot-painting the patch.

How long does drywall patch repair take?+

A single small patch takes about 1 hour plus drying time. Multiple patches in the same visit are more efficient. If texture matching is needed, allow an additional day for the texture to dry before priming.

Can you match my existing wall texture?+

Yes. We match smooth, orange peel, knockdown, and skip trowel textures. Heavily textured or custom patterns may require a texture sample sprayer for precise matching.
