Our expertise in drywall repair means we can get it done right, restoring your damaged drywall to a flawless, paint-ready surface - no problem.

Our drywall services are a must if you want to keep your walls looking their best, making this project easier for you . If you leave drywall cracks or holes unaddressed, they can compromise the insulation and the wall's overall aesthetic. You can trust us to make repairing holes and cracks a breeze with specialized tools and techniques, such as the professional California patch. We use this method and our specialized patch kit to fix holes in drywall of any size, ensuring the repair is invisible once it's painted. For the average homeowner, what looks like a nightmare of a job is no big deal for our skilled technicians.

Our wall hole patching process involves carefully applying joint compound in thin coats to achieve a perfectly smooth finish. We specialize in seamless drywall repair, making sure the patch itself is just the beginning - we also focus on the feathering and sanding required to blend the repair in with the rest of the wall. We bring all the necessary supplies, including the correct patch kit and sanding sponge, to get the job done efficiently and with no mess - saving you money and time over replacing the whole wall.

Special Techniques for Holes of Any Size

Every damaged area is treated on a case-by-case basis, with a clear understanding that the size and location of the hole dictate the repair technique needed to get the job done right. Whether it's a small or large hole, our goal is always to repair the drywall without it looking repaired. This often involves making sure the new drywall patch is securely anchored - whether that's by relying on the front paper (like a California patch) or by screwing into furring strips of wood inserted behind the wall. First, we use a utility knife to carefully remove the rough edges around the hole, giving us a clean, square cut that allows the new piece to fit flush with the existing surface. This is, of course, the key to any excellent drywall repair.

Small Holes & Surface Cracks - The Simple Stuff:

• For small holes (nail or anchor holes) and minor surface drywall cracks, we apply joint compound directly into the hole using a small putty knife. Then we apply a thin first coat of mud over the crack and often slap some drywall paper or fiberglass mesh tape over the seams to stabilize the area before applying a second coat. Job done.

The California Patch for Medium Holes:

• For drywall holes up to 6 inches across, the California Patch is the right choice. We cut a square of new drywall slightly larger than the hole and scrape the gypsum off the outside edge, exposing the intact drywall paper. We then insert the new piece into the hole, and the surrounding drywall paper acts as natural drywall tape, securing the patch to the wall. We fill the gap between the patch and the wall with joint compound. Easy!

Repairing Large Holes:

• For big holes (from plumbing or electrical access), the California patch just won't cut it. We screw furring strips to the inside of the wall on the other side of the hole, then cut a square of new drywall to fit precisely into the hole and screw it to the furring strips. This provides the new piece with the support it needs before we tape the seams and begin mudding.

Getting it Just Right - Meticulous Mudding & Seamless Sanding

Seamless drywall repair takes patience, the right tools, and some meticulous sanding. This is where our professional difference really shows, because if you get the mudding or sanding wrong, you'll be left with a visible hump or indentation on the surface - and that's just a disaster waiting to happen. We apply the joint compound (mud) in multiple thin, flat layers to feather the repair outward, so the patch edge blends in with the rest of the wall. Sometimes we need to make the patch slightly larger for a better blend. We only put the next coat on once the mud is completely dry - we don't want it to shrink or crack. Our experts know just how to push the mud into the seams and over the screw holes, knowing it usually takes two coats to get it just right.

• The Art of Layered Joint Compound: We apply the joint compound in multiple, progressively wider coats, working our way up to achieve the desired finish. The first coat is thin and is to cover the drywall tape or the paper edge of the drywall patch. We use a putty knife to spread it on smoothly. The second coat is wider and covers the first coat. We use a taping knife to feather the edges, making sure the mud blends into the rest of the wall without leaving any humps.

• Fluidly Feathering the Edges: Our approach to repairing drywall is to very thinly feather the outer edge of the mud coat out across the wall surface. The mud is thickest over the seams and tapers to almost nothing farther from the patch. The key to an invisible repair is that smooth transition.

• Smoothing Out the Surface: After the mud is rock-hard (it can take 24 hours), we use a fine-grit sanding sponge and take great care to smooth the joint compound without tearing the drywall paper. We always wear a dust mask during this part. We then place the surface under a bright light to assess its smoothness before proceeding with painting.

Blending in with the Texture

When repairing ceiling drywall and areas with existing texture, blending in the repair to match the existing texture is critical - we like to call it an "invisible" repair. Not doing so can lead to repairs that don't quite meet our expectations, especially if the repair is on a ceiling, where any imperfections will stand out under lighting.

We have all the tools and techniques we need to create a texture that matches the rest of the wall, ensuring the patch blends seamlessly with the surrounding material. We also take great care with more serious issues, such as stress cracks or other damage, by filling them with a thick mud coat and reinforcing the area with tape before starting the multi-layer process.

• Catching that Stucco Texture: If your ceiling or wall has a texture (like popcorn or stucco), we replicate it on the final coat of mud using specialist tools or a spray gun. This ensures the entire patch is completely invisible - critical on ceilings where any texture mismatch can really stand out.

• Finishing Touches: Once we've got that smooth finish, we then give the whole surface a good wipe down to get rid of any sanding dust - this is the final prep step before we get on with painting. Keeping the surface spotless is also key to ensuring the paint adheres properly.

• Reinforcing Cracks: For more structural cracks (rather than just surface-level drywall paper cracks), we widen the crack with a utility knife, fill it with a thick joint compound coat, and then apply drywall tape to bridge the gap, ensuring the repair is as good as new.

We pride ourselves on our plaster and drywall services, delivering high-quality repairs, paint-ready every time, and we know how to create a seamless finish.

Our Process

Our repair process focuses on delivering a durable, long-lasting, invisible fix for your drywall damage, ensuring we fill any gaps effectively .

Step-by-Step Drywall Repair Process

We follow a tried-and-tested app process to deliver a first-class wall hole patching job.

1. Prep and Cut: We carefully cut the hole into a clean square with a utility knife. For larger holes, we screw wood furring strips into the wall on the opposite side of the hole.

2. Patch Insertion: We cut a square of drywall to fit, attach it to the surrounding wall (either directly with the paper for a California patch or with screws to the furring strips). We ensure it's flush with the surrounding surface.

3. First Coat and Tape: We apply some drywall tape over the seams and the first coat of joint compound over the tape and screws. Then we press the tape firmly into the mud using the knife and let it dry thoroughly.

4. Second Coat and Sanding: We apply the second coat of mud, feathering it out to blend with the surrounding wall. Once it's scorched, we sand it with a sanding sponge to achieve the smoothest possible finish.
