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.

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.
