Repairs a drywall contractor handles

• Doorknob holes, dents and larger holes that need a new piece of drywall
• Cracks at seams and around door and window corners
• Nail and screw pops
• Water-damaged sections cut out and replaced
• Openings left after plumbing, electrical or air conditioning work
• Matching orange peel or knockdown texture around a patch

Matching texture and paint

A patch is only invisible if the texture and paint match. Texture is matched by adjusting the compound mix and spray tip on a scrap piece first. Touch-up paint often looks different even when it's the same color, so many repairs end with painting the wall from corner to corner.

Water-damaged drywall

Drywall that stayed wet usually needs to be cut out past the damaged area and replaced. Fix the source of the water first, and let the framing dry. If you see mold on the back of the drywall or on the framing, deal with that before the wall is closed up.

Older homes

In homes built before 1978, painted walls may contain lead, and contractors who disturb more than six square feet of lead paint must be EPA Lead-Safe Certified. Joint compound from before 1977 may contain asbestos. For a large repair in an older house, ask about testing first.
