Drywall Patching

Patches That Disappear

A proper drywall patch isn't just filling the hole — it's matching the texture, feathering the mud, and leaving a surface that takes paint without telegraphing the repair.

John patches drywall the right way: proper backing on larger holes, lightweight compound built up in correct coats, and texture matched to what's already on the wall. When it's done, you won't find the patch.

What We Patch

Every Type of Drywall Damage

Anchor & Nail Holes

Small holes from picture hangers, TV mounts, curtain rods, and wall anchors — filled flush and smooth.

Door Punch-Throughs

Door handle impacts leave clean holes. Patched with proper backing and finished to match texture.

Water Damage

After the leak is fixed, the damaged drywall gets cut out, replaced, and finished correctly.

Texture Matching

Orange peel, knockdown, smooth, popcorn — matched to existing wall texture so repairs aren't visible.

Large Repairs

Significant holes need proper backing installed. John handles the carpentry and the finish work.

Pre-Paint Prep

Patching before repainting a room — every ding, divot, and crack addressed before primer goes on.

FAQ

Drywall Repair Questions

Does drywall patching include painting?

Patching leaves the surface primer-ready. Painting the patch (and surrounding wall to blend) is a separate service. John can do both in one visit — just mention it when you schedule.

How long does drywall mud take to dry?

Standard joint compound needs 24 hours per coat in normal Florida humidity. For same-day finishing, lightweight quick-set compound is used where appropriate. John will let you know the drying timeline before starting.

Can you match existing wall textures?

Yes. Orange peel, knockdown, and smooth finishes are all matchable. Popcorn ceilings can be matched with the right texture spray. Perfect matching depends on how old and painted over the original texture is, but the goal is always invisible.
