Drywall & Paint

Patches you cannot find afterward

Doorknob holes, settling cracks, anchor holes from the last tenant, water stains from a long-fixed leak: drywall damage makes a clean house feel beat up. A proper patch is cut square, backed, taped, floated in three coats, and textured to match the wall around it. That last step is the one most people skip, and it is the difference between a repair and a scar.

What a typical visit covers

I cut out the damage, back the hole, tape and float it flat, then match the existing texture, whether that is orange peel, knockdown or smooth. Once it cures I prime and paint to your existing color. If you have the original paint can, that is perfect; if not, I can get a match made. Send photos of each spot with something for scale and I will quote the whole batch as one job. Patching several holes in one visit is much cheaper than fixing them one at a time.

Common drywall and paint jobs:

• Doorknob and anchor holes patched
• Settling cracks taped and floated
• Texture matched: orange peel, knockdown, smooth
• Water-stain repair after the leak is fixed
• Prime and color-matched paint
• Small-room and accent-wall repaints

Scope and pricing

Flat quote from your photos, everything under $1,000 in combined labor and materials. Active leaks get fixed before I patch, and whole-house repaints belong with a licensed painting contractor.
