What to expect

A good patch takes more than one coat of compound, so we use fast-setting mud to finish most small repairs in a single visit. Larger patches may need a short second visit to sand and paint.

Leave out your leftover paint if you have it. If not, we’ll color-match a sample from the wall.

Great for: Move-outs, pre-sale tidy-ups, kids’ rooms and that hole behind the door

What’s included

Patching, taping and sanding

Good questions

About drywall & paint touch-ups

Will the patch match my wall texture?

We match the common textures (smooth, orange peel and knockdown) closely enough that most people can’t find the patch afterward. Unusual hand textures can take a little longer.

Do you paint whole rooms?

Single rooms, yes: ask for a free quote. For whole-house painting we’ll point you to a painter we trust.
