Drywall Patching

Wall Patching

Wall patching repairs damaged sections of vertical drywall surfaces. The patch must sit flush with the existing plane, be taped at its perimeter to prevent cracking, and be texture matched so it blends into the surrounding wall.

About Wall Patching

Wall patches are the most common repair we do, and the most common places we find them are behind doors, along hallways, where furniture has been moved, and wherever a plumber or electrician has been.

The technique varies with size, but the finishing does not. Whatever the method, the perimeter gets taped, the compound gets feathered wide, and the texture gets matched. Those three steps are what determine whether you notice the patch afterward.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a wall patch take?
The patching itself is quick. The compound coats are what set the schedule, because each needs to dry before the next. Most wall patches are two visits over two or three days. A single visit patch is possible with fast setting compound, and we will use it where it is appropriate.
