Drywall repair in Monterey Park
I patch holes, dents, cracks, and nail pops so the wall looks like nothing happened. Each patch is taped, mudded, sanded, and textured to match, then left ready for paint. I also do small patches on older plaster walls. Send a photo and I'll give you a price.

Drywall repair questions
Something else? Call or text and ask.
How much does a drywall patch cost?
A small hole usually runs $125–$250, and a patch of 1 to 3 square feet $225–$450. Send a photo and you get a firm price before I start. confirm
Can you match my wall texture?
Yes. I match orange-peel and knockdown textures so the patch blends in once it's painted.
Will I need to repaint the whole wall?
Sometimes. Touch-up paint can look different on an old wall, so the whole wall often needs a coat to look even. I'll tell you before we start.
Drywall or plaster: does it matter?
Plaster is harder and cracks differently, so it takes different materials and more time. I patch both. For plaster, I quote after seeing the crack or hole.
