Common drywall needs
Holes and patches
Small and large holes from accidents, repairs, and fixtures.
Water-damaged drywall
Ceilings and walls damaged by leaks.
Cracks and nail pops
Cracks at corners and seams from settling and seasonal movement.
Patching after other trades
Plumbers and electricians often cut into walls and ceilings to do their work but don't patch them. A drywall finisher closes everything up and blends repairs into the surrounding wall.
Types of work
Drywall repair
Patches, cracks, corner bead, and nail pops.
New drywall
Hanging and finishing for remodels and additions.
Texture matching
Matching orange peel, knockdown, and other textures.
Plaster repair
Repairing plaster walls in older homes.
Popcorn ceiling removal
Scraping popcorn texture and refinishing ceilings to a smooth or light texture. Older textures should be tested for asbestos before removal.
What to look for before you hire
- Ask whether texture matching and paint are included.
- For water damage, make sure the source is fixed and the area is dry before repairs.
- In older homes with plaster, ask whether they repair plaster or replace with drywall.
- Ask for photos of previous patch work.
- Ask how they'll contain dust during sanding — especially important in occupied homes.
Frequently asked questions
Can a drywall patch be invisible?
Done well, with feathered joint compound, matched texture, and paint that covers the whole wall section, patches can be very hard to see.
Why does my drywall keep cracking?
Cracks at door and window corners can come from normal seasonal movement or foundation settlement. Recurring or widening cracks are worth having evaluated.
Should water-damaged drywall be replaced?
Drywall that was soaked, is sagging, or shows mold should be replaced. Minor stains on dry drywall can sometimes be sealed and painted.
What affects the cost of drywall repair in Hot Springs?
Number and size of repairs, texture matching, ceiling work, and whether painting is included affect price. Many drywall pros have a minimum charge, so grouping several repairs into one visit is more economical.
