FAQs

Drywall Patching And Hole Repair FAQs

How much does it cost to patch a hole in drywall in Caldwell?

Nail holes run $75 to $150. Doorknob-sized holes land around $150 to $300. Larger fist or kick-through damage can run $300 to $600 depending on backing and texture work needed.

Will my renter's deposit cover drywall damage repair or do I need to hire someone?

That depends on your lease terms. Many landlords deduct repair cost from the deposit, but tenants sometimes hire us directly before move-out to avoid a larger deduction or dispute.

How long does hole patching take?

Small holes are usually same-day. Larger patches needing backing, texture, and paint can take two visits with dry time between steps.

Codes & permits

No. Hole patching, regardless of size, typically doesn't require a permit.

Is a DIY patch kit good enough for small holes? For nail holes and small dings a store kit works fine. Anything doorknob-sized or larger usually needs backing material a basic kit doesn't include.
