What to Expect When You Hire Brothers Co for Drywall Repair

We get more calls about drywall than almost anything else -- and it makes sense. A hole in the wall is impossible to ignore, and most people have no idea what it takes to fix it properly.

Here's what the process actually looks like when you hire us for a drywall repair job in the Springfield area.

Step 1: The Assessment

When we show up, we're looking at three things:

1. Size of the damage -- a nail hole takes 5 minutes. A section of drywall that needs to be cut out and replaced is a different job.

2. Location -- ceiling patches are harder than wall patches. Corners need a different technique than flat walls.

3. Finish match -- if your walls have a specific texture (knockdown, orange peel, smooth), we need to match it so the patch disappears.

Step 2: The Repair

For most small-to-medium jobs, here's what happens:

• Cut out damaged area in a clean square or rectangle
• Install a drywall patch or new piece with backing support
• Tape and mud the seams -- this is usually 2-3 coats with drying time between each
• Sand smooth once the mud is fully dry
• Texture match to blend with the existing wall

Step 3: The Finish

If you want us to paint, we can do that too. Most patches need at least a primer coat to seal the mud, and then a finish coat matched to your existing wall color.

If you're going to paint yourself, we leave the patch smooth and ready for primer.

How Long It Takes

• Small patch (nail holes, doorknob dents): same day
• Medium repair (fist-sized hole, water damage spot): 1-2 days (drying time between mud coats)
• Large repair (full sheet replacement, ceiling patch): 2-3 days

What It Costs

Drywall repair pricing is straightforward:

• Small patches: $75-$150
• Medium repairs: $150-$350
• Large section replacement: $350-$600+

Every job is different, so we give you a firm quote before we start. No surprises.
