Drywall Repair
Holes, cracks, water stains, popped nails, or a patch that never got finished right — I repair drywall and ceilings so the fix disappears into the wall instead of standing out.
A patch that lasts isn't just mud smeared over a hole. I install solid backing, cut a clean drywall piece to fit, tape the seams, then build up multiple thin coats of mud with sanding between, and prime so it takes paint evenly. On ceilings especially, each coat needs to cure before the next — that's what makes the repair invisible in raking light instead of a bump you notice every time the sun hits it.
If the drywall damage came from a leak or a stain near a vent, the drywall is only half the job — the moisture source has to be fixed first or it comes right back. See my guide: Water stain on your ceiling near a vent? Here's what's causing it.
Based in Crofton, MD and happy to travel to neighboring towns:
It depends on the size and whether it's a wall or a ceiling (ceilings take more coats and dry time). Small patches are quick; water-damage repairs done over multiple visits cost more. I give free, upfront estimates before any work starts.
Yes — most common textures (knockdown, orange peel, smooth) can be matched so the repair blends in. Older or unusual textures take a little extra care, which I'll walk you through.
A repair is primed and ready for paint. I can prep-for-paint so your painter finishes, or paint it myself — on your call.
