Drywall Repair & Patching

Repairs That Actually Disappear

A bad patch job is more obvious than the hole it fixed — a flat spot where the texture doesn't match, a slightly different sheen once it's painted, a seam you can see at an angle in low light. The difference between a good repair and an obvious one is almost always in the texture match and the feathering of the joint compound, and that's where experience shows.

What We Repair

• Doorknob holes and impact damage — the most common call, usually a same-visit fix
• Cracks — settling cracks at corners and above doorways, common in both older farmhouses and newer builds as a house settles through its first few winters
• Water damage — from roof leaks, plumbing failures, or ice damming; we assess whether the affected board needs full replacement or can be patched once the source is fixed
• Dents and gouges from moving furniture or renovations elsewhere in the house
• Nail pops and popped screws on older installations

Texture Matching

Orange peel, knockdown, and smooth (skim-coated) are the three textures we run into most across Orangeville, Shelburne, and the surrounding towns — older homes tend toward heavier textures, newer builds and renovated spaces increasingly go smooth. We match whatever's already on your wall so the repair blends in rather than standing out once it's painted.

Small Job? Still Worth a Call

No repair is too small to quote — from a single hole to patching an entire wall after removing old paneling or wallpaper. If the damage is extensive enough that patching won't hold up, we'll tell you honestly and talk through whether a full-panel replacement makes more sense.
