Holes, cracks, and water damage patched and textured to match. For homes and rentals in Vancouver, Battle Ground, Camas, and across Clark County.
A good patch disappears. Holes, cracks, and water damage get cut back to solid material, patched, taped, and textured to match the wall around them, so once it's painted you can't find it.
Real jobs.
Real photos.
Opened up after water damage. Wet drywall along the bottom of a kitchen wall cut out to the studs, so the framing could dry and be checked before closing it back up.
Dust walls up first. Plastic containment around the work area keeps sanding dust out of the rest of the house.
Closed back up. New drywall hung along the same kitchen wall, then taped and mudded, ready for texture and paint.

Planning drywall repair & patching
Can you match my wall texture?
Yes. Orange peel and knockdown are the most common textures in Clark County homes, and both can be sprayed and blended into the wall around a patch. Smooth walls get feathered out wide so the edges don't show.
How long does a drywall patch take?
Joint compound needs to dry between coats. A small hole can often be done in one visit with fast-setting compound, while larger patches usually take a second visit for the final coat and texture.
What should I do after a leak?
Stop the leak first, then get the wet drywall and insulation out so the framing can dry. Closing a wall up while it's still damp is how mold starts. Once it's dry, new drywall goes in and gets finished to match.
Why do cracks keep coming back above my doors and windows?
Those corners are where a house moves the most, and a crack that was only filled will open again. Cutting it out, taping it, and finishing it with setting compound holds up much longer.
Will the patch be ready to paint?
Yes. Patches are sanded and textured so they're ready for paint, and they can be painted to match if you have the paint or know the color.
How is drywall repair priced?
Small patches are billed as a $95 trip fee, then $75 an hour. Bigger repairs, like water damage or a full sheet, get a written quote after photos or a walkthrough.
When should drywall damage be evaluated before patching?
An active leak, damp material, suspected mold, or a recurring or widening crack needs evaluation before cosmetic repair. The source of water or movement must be addressed first. Plumbing, electrical, structural, or remediation work outside the patching scope may need an appropriate licensed trade or specialist.
