What affects the price

When you are budgeting for drywall, the final number depends on a few specific factors. The size of the room is the biggest driver, but the complexity of the installation matters just as much. For example, high ceilings, intricate corners, or tight spaces require more labor time. If you need special moisture-resistant boards for a bathroom or fire-rated panels for a garage, material costs will shift accordingly. Finishing levels also change the price; a smooth Level 5 finish involves more sanding and prep than a standard garage finish. We provide exact pricing confirmed free on the call.

About this service

A drywall patch is a method for fixing holes, whether they are small dings from door handles or larger areas damaged by water or plumbing repairs. Small holes can be filled with compound, while larger holes often require a metal mesh backing or a new piece of gypsum board inserted into the opening. You need this service if your walls have visible damage that needs to be brought back to a smooth, level finish before painting.

Frequently asked in Washington

Can I do a drywall patch myself?

While small patches can be DIY projects, achieving a perfect, invisible finish often requires a professional. The pros have the specific tools and experience to match textures and paint flawlessly. For a repair that looks like it was never there, calling an expert is usually the way to go. This ensures a high-quality result.

How much does a drywall patch cost?

Is there a difference between drywall and sheetrock?

Essentially, no. 'Sheetrock' is a popular brand name for drywall, much like 'Kleenex' is for tissues. The actual building material is called drywall. It's gypsum plaster compressed between two thick sheets of paper. So, when people say sheetrock, they almost always mean drywall.

How much should a drywall repair cost?

Is drywall soundproof?

Standard drywall offers some sound dampening, but it's not truly soundproof. The effectiveness depends on the drywall thickness, installation methods, and the overall construction of the room. For serious soundproofing, additional materials or specialized drywall types are usually necessary.
