How much does drywall repair cost in Austin?

Small patches (nail pops, doorknob holes) run $125–$225 as a one-off. Medium and larger repairs $225–$650 depending on size and texture. Members pay $0 for patches under 12" as part of their monthly handyman visit. Full breakdown in the cost table above.

Can you match my existing wall texture?

Yes. Austin homes commonly have knockdown, orange peel, or smooth finishes. Our techs match all three, then prime and paint so the repair disappears.

Do you handle water-damaged drywall?

Yes, after the leak is fixed. We cut out the damaged section, replace insulation if needed, hang new board, tape, texture, and paint.

How long does a typical repair take?

Most single-room repairs are finished in one visit. Texture and paint may need a second visit if drying time extends across days.

Why do I keep getting cracks above my doors and windows?

Central Texas expansive clay soil moves seasonally, and your slab moves with it. Hairline cracks above door and window frames are the most common symptom. We patch and paint, but persistent, widening cracks may point to foundation movement worth a structural look.

Do you paint the whole wall or just the patch?

We feather the paint into the surrounding area to blend the repair. Full-wall or full-room repaints are available as an add-on when the existing paint has faded or when we can't source an exact match.

Will there be drywall dust everywhere when you leave?

No. We tarp the work area, HEPA-vacuum during and after the repair, and wipe down surfaces before we go. Dust containment is part of the visit, not an upsell.

Can you patch popcorn ceilings without redoing the whole thing?

Yes for small patches, we can match popcorn texture in a limited area. For anything larger than a few square feet, results are much cleaner if we scrape and re-texture the full ceiling, quoted separately.

Which Austin areas and ZIP codes do you cover?
