Transform Your Space with Drywall Repairs to Your Home

If there's a dent or ding in your drywall, we start by scraping away any loose debris. Then, we spackle over the dent with drywall putty, evening it out with a putty knife until smooth and flush. A light sanding with fine grit paper follows, and we determine the surrounding texture to retexture evenly. Getting the texture right is crucial; uneven application can lead to an unsightly finish. Our experienced contractors know precisely how much texture to use and where to apply it, thanks to years of practice.

Fixing door handle holes requires placing a wire mesh over the hole. We then use lightweight joint compound, applying it in a crisscross pattern over the mesh. Feathering the edges helps blend the spackle seamlessly with the wall. After it dries, we may add another layer of compound if needed. Once sanded down to be flush with the surrounding area, we apply texture compound to match the rest of the wall before painting. If done correctly, you won't even notice there was a hole.

Fixing drywall holes that are 6–8 inches wide is more involved than simply spackling, sanding, and texturing. A common method is to cut the hole into a square. We then measure that square and cut a piece of drywall to match its dimensions, securing wooden backing strips behind it for additional support. We attach it using screws, tape the seams, and cover them with joint compound, similar to how new drywall sheets are installed. After sanding, texturing, and painting, your wall will look as good as new.
