Small holes from doorknobs, impacts, or removed fixtures make up a steady share of the calls Star Drywall Repair gets. Kids, pets, and moving furniture all leave their mark on drywall sooner or later.
The patch method scales with the hole. A nail hole gets filled and feathered; a fist-size hole needs backing before anything goes over it.

How Our Drywall Patching And Hole Repair Process Works
Step 1Hole Inspection
The size and depth of the hole are assessed to plan the repair method.

A support piece is added behind the hole to stabilize the patch.
Step 4Patch Placement
A drywall piece is cut and fitted to match the opening precisely.
Step 5Compound Layering
Several coats of compound are applied to blend the patch smoothly.
Step 6Texture And Paint
The area is finished with matching texture and paint for a smooth look.
Materials
Materials and Methods for Drywall Patching And Hole Repair

Patch Repair Kit
Covers the small to medium holes that show up often in growing Star households.

Backing Strips
Give a fist-size hole something solid to anchor to, not just compound floating over an opening.

Joint Compound
Layered thin so the repair blends into walls still settling from new construction.

Mesh Tape
Reinforces edges so the patch doesn't crack again.

Sanding Pad
Brings the surface flush before paint.

Touch-Up Paint
Matched to the surrounding wall for an invisible finish.

FAQs
Drywall Hole Repair FAQs
How much does it cost to fix a small hole from a doorknob?
Most nail-hole to fist-size patches run $150 to $300, including texture match.
How long does hole repair take?
Small holes are often done same-visit. Larger holes needing backing take a day or two for coats to dry.
Will patched drywall show through paint later?
Not if the texture is matched and the compound is sanded flush before priming. A rushed patch is usually the cause of a visible flash spot.
Is DIY hole repair a good idea?
Nail holes are fine for a spackle kit. Anything larger than a couple inches benefits from backing and a pro texture match.
When should I call a pro for hole repair?
Call when a hole exceeds a few inches or a prior DIY patch already failed or shows through paint.
What affects drywall hole repair pricing?
Hole size, whether it's on a wall or ceiling, and the texture type being matched.
