Nail holes from a picture frame, a doorknob dent that's been there since move-in, a fist-sized hole from an accident nobody wants to talk about. These are the calls we get most, especially around rental turnover season near campus. College Station Drywall Repair Pros patches all of it, sized right to the damage.
Not every hole needs the same fix. A tiny nail pop is a five-minute job. A doorknob-sized hole needs backing. Something bigger might need a full cut-and-set patch. We match the method to what's actually in front of us, not a one-size-fits-all approach.

Materials and methods for Drywall Patching & Hole Repair
Mesh patches
Self-adhesive mesh gives small-to-mid holes a strong base without cutting a bigger opening than necessary.
Setting-type compound
Builds strength fast and resists cracking better than lightweight mud, useful on higher-traffic rental walls.
Backing board
Lets us patch holes that land between studs, so a missing stud behind the hole doesn't stop the repair.

Drywall Patching & Hole Repair FAQs
Can I patch drywall without studs behind it?
Yes. Backing board or a butterfly patch gives the compound something to hold onto even without a stud directly behind the hole.
How big of a hole can drywall repair fix?
Patching works from pinholes up to a couple feet across. Past that, cutting in a full section usually makes more sense than patching.
Can a hole in drywall be repaired?
Almost always, yes. It's rare to find a hole too large to patch, the method just shifts depending on size.
What does drywall patching cost in College Station?
Small nail holes run $100–$200, doorknob-size holes $200–$400, and larger holes $350–$650. Multi-hole rental jobs often come in as a bundled price.
Is DIY patching a good idea?
For small nail holes, absolutely. Anything needing backing or texture match is where a pro saves you a redo.
