A simpler first step
Show us the repair before arranging a visit
Text one close-up, one view of the whole wall or ceiling, approximate measurements and your ZIP code to 704-989-1087. Tell us whether you want the repair painted too. We will review the photos and explain whether we can discuss a price remotely or need to see the work in person.
Photo checklist for your estimate. Photos do not automatically confirm a price or appointment.

What we repair
- Holes — doorknobs, furniture, a foot through the ceiling, anything from a nail hole to a section several feet across.
- Cracks — settling cracks above doors and windows, corner bead cracks, seams that have opened up.
- Nail pops and screw pops — the little round bumps and dimples that show up in rows across a ceiling.
- Water damage — stained, sagging or crumbling drywall from a roof leak, a burst pipe or an overflowing tub upstairs.
- Bad previous repairs — the patch someone else left flat, shiny or the wrong texture.
- Corner bead damage — dinged outside corners from moving furniture or a vacuum.
Why the texture is the whole job
Anyone can fill a hole. The reason most patches still look like patches is texture. Charlotte homes are mostly knockdown, orange peel or a light hand texture, and if the patch is smooth where the wall is textured, your eye finds it instantly — especially in daylight from the side.
We match the surrounding texture before we paint, then paint corner to corner or to a natural break so there's no halo of fresh paint sitting in the middle of an older wall. That last part matters more than people expect: a perfectly matched patch can still be obvious if it's painted as a square.
How long it takes
A single hole with matched texture and paint is usually one visit. Larger repairs, or anything where the drywall has to dry out first, get a schedule up front so you know what's happening and when. If a repair needs two visits because a compound coat has to cure overnight, we tell you that before we start, not after.
Repair or replace?
Patching is almost always cheaper and faster, and for holes, cracks and pops it's the right call. Replacement makes sense when a sheet is soft from moisture, when there's mold behind it, or when the damage covers most of a panel — at that point cutting out the sheet is less work than trying to save it. We'll tell you which one you're looking at when we come out, and we'll tell you if you don't need us at all.

Questions people ask
Drywall Repair FAQs
How much does drywall repair cost in Charlotte?
Small repairs start at our $299 patch and paint special. That price covers a wall patch under about two feet by two feet — walls only, not ceilings — including materials, texture matching and paint, and we ask for a photo of the damage so we can confirm the $299 applies before we come out. Anything bigger, and any ceiling repair, is quoted after we see it; the price depends on how many spots, how much texture matching is involved, and whether the ceiling is popcorn. We take repairs of any size, and the estimate is always free and written, so there are no surprises.
Can you match my ceiling and wall texture?
We work with knockdown, orange peel, splatter and other common textures. Send a close-up and a wider view so we can discuss the blend. Existing texture, paint age, sheen and lighting affect the result; sometimes painting the full wall or ceiling to a natural break gives a more consistent finish than touching up just the patch.
Do you paint after the repair, or do I need a painter?
We paint. That's the point of hiring us instead of a drywall-only crew — one company patches, finishes, matches the texture and paints, so nobody blames anybody else if a seam telegraphs through. If you'd rather have your own painter finish, we'll leave it sanded and primed.
How soon can you come out?
Call or text 704-989-1087 with your ZIP code, photos and preferred timing. We will confirm current availability and the next step. Some repairs can start with a photo review; work that needs measurements or a closer inspection may require a visit.
Should I repair drywall myself?
For a nail hole, a tub of spackle from the hardware store is genuinely fine. Past that, the two things that go wrong for homeowners are the mud shrinking so the patch sinks below the wall, and the texture not matching. Both are fixable, but fixing a failed patch usually costs more than doing it right the first time.
Do you do water damage repair?
Yes. We cut out the damaged drywall, replace it, finish it and paint it. One important note: we repair the damage, we don't fix the leak. The plumbing or roof has to be sorted first, otherwise the new drywall fails the same way the old drywall did.
