What is included
Tape, mud and texture: what drywall repair & patching includes
- Damage cut back to a square opening
- Backing fixed behind the patch so it has something to hold
- Mesh or paper tape depending on the repair
- Three coats of compound, each feathered wider than the last
- Sanded with dust containment rather than a bare sander
- Texture matched to the surrounding wall
- Primed so the patch will not flash through the paint
- Room left clean and furniture put back
How a drywall repair & patching job goes, coat by coat
A patch is only as good as what sits behind it. Compound pushed into a hole with nothing supporting it will crack around its own edge within a season, because the repair has no structural connection to the wall it is sitting in.
The square cut matters for the same reason. A ragged hole gives the tape nothing straight to follow, and every irregularity in that edge shows up as a ridge once the wall is painted.
Three thin coats rather than one thick one. Compound shrinks as it dries, and a thick application shrinks unevenly — leaving a shallow depression in exactly the shape of the repair.
Dust containment is not fussiness. Drywall dust is fine enough to travel through a whole house and settle on everything in it, and a sander without extraction costs you more in cleaning than the repair did.

FAQ
Drywall Repair & Patching: questions homeowners ask us
How is a hole in drywall repaired so it disappears?
Small holes are filled, taped and floated in thin coats; larger ones are cut to a square, backed and patched with new board, then taped and floated. Then the texture is matched and the patch is primed and painted out to a corner or a natural break so the sheen does not flash. A repair that shows is one that was floated too proud, textured wrong, or spot-painted.
Why do cracks keep coming back in the same place?
Because the crack is movement — the house settling, framing drying, a truss lifting in winter — and filling it with compound puts a rigid material over a joint that moves. The repair is taped with mesh or paper and floated wide so the movement is bridged; a crack that is only filled reopens with the seasons. Very wide or offset cracks are a foundation question, and we say so.
