Drywall Repair

Repair dry wall the right way in Round Rock

That crack keeps coming back near your door frame? That's not bad luck. That's Central Texas clay doing what it always does.

The ground here shifts with every wet season and every dry spell, and slab foundations across Williamson and Travis counties move right along with it. That movement stresses drywall seams and corners, which is why the same crack returns even after a fresh coat of paint. Hot summers followed by hard freezes also push nails and screws through drywall surfaces over time, a problem known as nail popping. We see it constantly in subdivisions built during the 1990s-2010s growth boom.

Why choose us

Why choose Round Rock Drywall Repair Pros

  • Texture matching that actually blends

    We test knockdown and orange peel spray patterns on scrap board before touching your wall, so repairs disappear instead of standing out.

  • Clean job sites, every time

    Drop cloths, dust containment, and a swept floor when we leave. Your house stays your house, not a construction zone.

  • Written estimates before any work starts

    You'll know the scope and the price range before we pick up a taping knife. No surprise add-ons.

  • Materials picked for Central Texas conditions

    Moisture-resistant board near bathrooms, drywall screws over nails to resist seasonal pop, setting compound that holds through foundation shift.

Materials

Materials and Methods We Use

We pick materials based on what actually holds up here, not just what's cheapest off the shelf.

  • Paperless mold-resistant board photo

    Fiberglass mesh tape

    Holds up better than paper tape on cracks tied to foundation movement, since it flexes instead of tearing.

  • Mesh joint tape photo

    Setting-type joint compound

    Cures harder than premixed mud, which matters when seasonal shift keeps stressing the same seam.

  • Moisture-resistant primer-sealer photo

    Moisture-resistant green board

    Standard near bathrooms and laundry rooms, where Central Texas humidity swings can lead to trouble behind a wall.

  • Hopper-gun orange peel texture photo

    Self-adhesive patch panels

    Fast, clean fix for small to medium holes without cutting a full backer piece.

  • Knockdown texture technique photo

    Plywood backer for larger holes

    Gives the new drywall something solid to screw into instead of floating over open wall cavity.

  • Metal corner bead photo

    Drywall screws over nails

    Nails work loose as framing expands and contracts through heat and freeze cycles. Screws hold.

    Price was way more affordable than the other quotes we got for drywall repair. Still felt premium — clean jobsite, solid finish, and I'd hire them again without thinking twice.

    Honestly did not expect such a professional team. They showed up on time, explained every step, and the drywall patching & hole repair turned out better than I pictured.

Common questions

Drywall Repair FAQs

How much should a drywall patch job cost?

Small nail holes run $75-150, fist-sized holes usually land $150-350, and doorknob-sized holes with backer board work run $200-450. Price climbs with texture matching and paint.

Can a handyman handle drywall repairs, or do I need a specialist?

A handyman can usually manage a small nail hole. Once you're dealing with texture matching, recurring cracks, or a water-damaged ceiling, a drywall specialist gets a cleaner, longer-lasting result.

What do you call a person who fixes drywall?

Drywall finisher, drywall contractor, or sheetrock repair specialist are the common terms. Sheetrock and drywall mean the same material here in Central Texas, so you'll hear both.

Is it better to patch or replace a whole sheet of drywall?

Small to medium holes patch fine. Once damage covers more than a couple square feet, or if there's water damage or mold behind the surface, full sheet replacement is usually cleaner and more durable.

How much does drywall repair cost in Round Rock?

Most single-room jobs run $250-800 depending on hole size, texture matching, and whether ceiling work is involved. We give exact numbers after a quick look at the damage.

How long does drywall repair take to finish?

A single small patch is often same-day. Larger sections or ceiling work with texture and paint drying time can stretch across 2-3 days.

Do I need a permit for drywall repair in Texas?

Standard patch, crack, or panel repair usually doesn't need a permit. If the work exposes electrical or plumbing behind the wall, that trade work may need its own permit, separate from the drywall closeup.

Is DIY drywall repair a good idea, or does it look bad if I do it myself?

For a tiny nail hole, DIY spackle is fine. For anything with texture, a crack that keeps coming back, or a hole bigger than your fist, DIY often leaves a visible patch outline that's harder to fix later than if you'd called a pro first.
