What is considered drywall repair?

Drywall repair includes fixing holes, dents, cracks, water damage, loose tape, uneven seams, and damaged corners on walls or ceilings.

What causes drywall damage?

Damage is often caused by moving furniture, impact, doorknobs, kids, pets, moisture leaks, and normal settling.

Can small drywall holes be repaired without replacing the whole sheet?

Yes. Small and medium holes can be repaired with mesh patches, backing boards, or cut-in patches without replacing an entire piece of drywall.

How do professionals repair drywall cracks?

Professionals remove loose material, embed tape, apply multiple coats of joint compound, sand smooth, prime, and repaint.

How long does drywall repair take?

Typical repairs take one to two days due to drying times between coats, though larger or water-damaged areas may take longer.

Will the repair be visible after painting?

When feathered, sanded, primed, and blended correctly, drywall repairs should be invisible after painting.

Can a contractor fix both drywall and plaster?

Yes. Many contractors repair both drywall and plaster, including cracks, holes, and full skim coating.

Do I need to repaint the entire wall after a drywall repair?

Small patches may be touched up, but for a perfect color match, repainting the entire wall or section is usually recommended.

How much does drywall repair typically cost?

Costs depend on the size and complexity of the repair. Small holes often fall under a contractor’s minimum service charge.

Can drywall repairs fix water-damaged walls?

Yes, but the leak must be repaired first. Water-damaged sections may need to be cut out, dried, and replaced before finishing.

How to Estimate Drywall Repairs?

If you need to Estimate materials for drywall I usually figure 1 bucket of joint compound per 10 sheets of drywall. A standard sheet of drywall will cover 4ft x 8 ft or 32 square feet. On walls every third stuff is a sheet so if you count the studs every third stuff if you have 16" oc framing is a sheet. If its 24oc then every second stud is a sheet. Have fun with your project and happy new year, Sincerely MrWalls Jason Lebeau
