Cost by patch size.
Drywall pricing follows the size of the repair and how much finishing it needs, not how long it takes us. A hole the size of a doorknob is a $150 job whether it takes us twenty minutes or an hour.
- Under 6 inches — $150. Doorknob holes, anchor damage, small dings from moving furniture. Patched, sanded, and ready for texture.
- 6 to 16 inches — $225. The typical result of a stud-finder miss, a plumbing access cut, or a mounted item pulling out of the wall.
- Ceilings — $300. Overhead work, ladder setup, and a heavier texture to match.
- Cracks and nail pops. Usually bundled — if we are already on site, a run of settlement cracks costs less than each one priced alone.
Texture matching is the part that matters.
Nearly every home in Gilbert and Chandler is finished in orange peel or knockdown. A patch that skips texture reads as a flat, shiny rectangle under afternoon light — which is exactly when Arizona sun rakes across a wall and shows every flaw.
Matching texture is a spray step with its own dry time. At $112.50 it is the cheapest insurance you can buy on a drywall repair, and it is the single biggest difference between a repair that disappears and one you notice every day.
Included in the quoted price
- Cut, patch, tape, and sand
- Texture matched to the surrounding wall
- Drop cloths, dust control, and debris haul-off
- Touch-up paint when you have the original
Quoted separately
- Full wall or room repaint
- New paint purchase and color matching
- Plumbing or roof repair behind water damage
- Mold remediation on large water-damaged areas
Ceiling and water damage.
A brown ring on a second-floor ceiling almost always means a supply line, a shower pan, or a toilet flange above it. Painting over the stain hides it for a few weeks and then it bleeds back through.
The right sequence is: find and fix the source, let the area dry fully, cut out the compromised board, re-hang, tape, texture, then paint. We handle the plumbing side and the drywall side in the same visit, which is why the total usually comes in under what two separate trades would charge.
What changes the price.
Size and number of holes
Three small holes in one room cost far less than three holes in three rooms — travel and setup happen once.
Ceiling versus wall
Ceilings need scaffolding or ladders, overhead work, and usually a heavier texture. Expect roughly double a comparable wall patch.
Texture type
Standard orange peel is quick. Knockdown and skip-trowel take longer to match and add cost.
Paint availability
If you have the original paint, we touch up. If not, repainting the full wall is the only way to avoid a visible edge.
Cause of the damage
If a leak caused it, the leak gets fixed first. We can handle both in one visit rather than sending you to two companies.

We patch and blend
Cut, patch, tape, texture, paint, clean up. You should not be able to find the repair afterward.
DIY versus calling us.
A small hole with a mesh patch and a can of spray texture is a genuinely doable weekend project, and we will tell you so if you ask. Where homeowners usually regret the DIY route:
- Knockdown texture — the timing on the knockdown pass is unforgiving.
- Ceilings — gravity, overhead sanding, and dust everywhere.
- Anything wider than about a foot, where the patch needs backing and proper taping.
- Water damage, where the real question is what is happening behind the wall.
If your repair is on that list, get a price from us before you buy materials. Compare it to the full repair cost guide to see how drywall stacks up against the rest of your to-do list.

FAQ.
How much does drywall repair cost in Gilbert, AZ?+
Most single-hole repairs run $150 to $300. A small patch under six inches is $150, a medium patch between six and sixteen inches is $225, and a ceiling patch is $300. Texture matching adds $112.50 and a full wall repaint is $375.
Is drywall repair cheaper than replacing the drywall?+
Almost always. Replacing a full sheet means removing trim, cutting out the old board, re-hanging, taping, texturing, and repainting. A patch handles the damaged area only and keeps the rest of your wall intact.
Why does texture matching cost extra?+
Matching orange peel or knockdown is the step that makes the repair invisible. It takes a separate spray pass, dry time, and a practiced hand — skip it and the patch shows from across the room.
Do you paint after the drywall repair?+
Yes. If you still have the original paint we will use it. If not, we recommend repainting the wall corner-to-corner so there is no visible edge where the new paint meets the old.
How long does drywall repair take?+
A single patch is usually one visit. Larger repairs, ceilings, and anything that needs texture plus paint can require a short second visit so each coat cures properly.
Do you charge a trip fee?+
A flat $59 assessment fee covers the visit and the diagnosis. It is credited back in full to your invoice when you hire us for the work.
