That doorknob dent in the hallway isn't going away on its own. Neither is the fist-sized hole behind the door that's been there since move-in day. Round Rock Drywall Repair Pros patches holes of every size in Round Rock homes and gets the texture close enough that you stop noticing it's there.
Most patch jobs come from the same culprits: a door swung too hard, furniture scraped a corner, a doorknob met a wall at the wrong angle. We handle small nail holes up to larger openings that need a backer board, all with the same care toward blending into your existing knockdown or orange peel finish.
What's included
What's Included
- Mesh or paper tape — over the patch edge to prevent future cracking at the seam
- Multi-coat joint compound — application, feathered wide so the repair doesn't show a ridge
- Sanding and texture matching — to blend with the surrounding wall
- Backer board install — for holes larger than a few inches, giving the patch something solid to grip

Materials
Materials for Lasting Patches
We pick materials based on hole size and location, not a one-size-fits-all approach.
Self-adhesive mesh patches
for small to medium holes, these hold the patch shape while compound cures, keeping edges from cracking later.
Plywood or drywall backer board
screwed in behind larger holes so the patch has real structure, not just floating compound.
Setting-type joint compound
dries harder than premixed mud, which matters through Round Rock's humid summer stretches when standard compound can stay soft longer.
Drywall screws
used over nails wherever framing access allows, since screws hold better through seasonal wood movement.

DIY Patch vs Calling a Pro
| DIY | Hire a pro |
|---|---|
| Tiny nail holes work fine with a dab of spackle and a putty knife | Textured walls (knockdown, orange peel) are hard to match without the right tools |
| Smooth-finish walls with no texture are the easiest DIY win | Holes larger than a few inches need backer board most homeowners don't have on hand |
| Basic drywall patch kits from the hardware store handle small jobs | Recurring holes in the same spot may point to a bigger issue worth having looked at |

Patch Repair FAQs
How much should a drywall patch job cost?
Small nail holes run $75 to $150. Larger fist or doorknob-sized holes with texture matching run $150 to $450 depending on size and finish complexity.
Is it better to patch or replace a whole sheet of drywall?
Patching works fine for isolated holes and cracks. Full sheet replacement makes more sense when damage covers a large area or multiple spots on one panel.
Is DIY drywall repair worth it, or does it look bad if I do it myself?
Tiny holes on smooth walls are fine to DIY. Textured walls are where DIY patches usually show, since store-bought texture spray rarely matches the original spray pattern.
Do you match knockdown and orange peel texture?
Yes. We test texture on a hidden section first, then apply and knock down to match the room's existing pattern before painting.
Can you patch multiple holes in one visit?
Usually, yes. Most homes with several small to medium holes get everything patched and textured in a single appointment.
