Walls and ceilings

We patch holes, cracks, and water stains

Walls take a beating in a house. A doorknob goes through one behind a door that swings too far. A seam cracks along a ceiling as the house settles. A leak dries and leaves a brown mark that paint on its own will not cover.

Every one of those is a drywall repair. The damaged board comes out, a patch goes in, we tape and mud it flush, we match the texture on the wall around it, then we prime and paint it.

Before any paint goes on

Almost every wall in the Temecula Valley wears one of three finishes: smooth, orange peel, or knockdown. A patch with no texture on it shows every time the light crosses the wall. We match the finish already on yours first, then prime and paint over the top.

Here is how we fix a hole in the wall

The same run of work covers a doorknob hole or a water damaged ceiling.

Step 1

Cover the floors, cut out the damage

Drop cloths go down and anything close by gets moved clear. We square up the broken edges so the patch has solid drywall to sit against.

Step 2

Cut the patch, tape it, mud it flat

A new piece of drywall gets scored to size and set in, the joint gets taped, and the compound goes on in coats until it sits flat with the wall around it.

Step 3

Texture it, prime it, paint it, tidy up

We match the finish already on your wall, prime the patch, and blend the paint into what is around it. Furniture goes back where it was.

Everything swept before we leave

We price every wall on its own

A doorknob hole and a water damaged ceiling are not the same job, so there is no flat rate. Text photos and we send back one number for the whole repair, free.

  • 2Wall or ceiling, since ceilings take longer

  • 4Whether it needs paint, and if you have the color
  • 5Water damage, or a hole with dry board around it
  • 6Furniture that has to move away from the wall
Straight talk

The paint is where a patch can still show

We can match the texture. Paint is the part that sometimes will not sit right, because a wall that has stood in the sun does not read the same as fresh paint out of the can. When we see that coming we tell you up front, and often the answer is a new coat right across the wall.

How long does a drywall patch take?

How long a drywall patch takes depends on the size of the repair and whether it needs paint. Joint compound has to dry between coats, so a larger repair can run into a second visit. We tell you which to expect when we send the price.

Can you match my wall texture?

Yes. Smooth, orange peel, or knockdown, we match what is already on the wall before any paint goes on. That is the step that keeps a patch from standing out.

Do you repair water damaged drywall?

Yes, once the leak has stopped. We cut out the stained drywall, patch it, texture it, and paint it so the mark does not come back through.

Will the patch be invisible?

The texture gets matched, so on most walls you will not pick out the spot. Where paint has faded in the sun, a freshly painted patch can still catch the light. We tell you when that is likely.

How much does drywall repair cost?

Drywall repair is priced by the job, not by the hour, so one number covers the whole repair. The price follows the size of the damage, how many spots there are, and whether it is a wall or a ceiling. Text over photos of the damage and we send the exact price back free, before you book.

Can you do more than one repair at once?

Yes. Send photos of every spot and we quote them as a single job. If there is other work waiting, let us know, we can do that too.

Which cities do you cover for drywall repair?

Temecula, Murrieta, Menifee, Lake Elsinore, Wildomar, Winchester, and French Valley. There is no travel charge inside the service area.
