Drywall Patch and Repair in Colorado

Patching is the name on the truck, and it is the work we do most. A doorknob through the hallway wall, a crack that keeps coming back over the same door frame, a hole cut by a plumber and never closed, or a repair somebody else made that now reads as a grey rectangle every time the afternoon light crosses it.

The repair is not the hard part. Making it disappear is. A patch is only finished when you cannot find it with your eyes closed to the room and open to the wall.

What's included

• Holes of any size, from a doorknob to a full sheet
• Cracks that keep returning over doors and corners
• Openings left behind by a plumber or an electrician
• Somebody else's repair, redone so it stops showing
• Texture matched, then primed and painted to blend

We cut the damage back to solid edges and to something to screw to, because a patch floated over an empty cavity moves later and cracks in the same line. Then the piece goes in, the joint is taped and built up in coats, and each coat is feathered wider than the last so the wall comes back flat instead of humped.

The texture is matched to what is already on your wall — knockdown, orange peel, or a hand texture that somebody troweled thirty years ago and never wrote down. That match is usually what separates a repair you stop noticing from one you point at.
