Hole & Patch Repair

A hole in the wall is one of those problems that never fixes itself. The good news is that it’s also one of the cheapest problems to hand off. Our Richardson patch crew fills, textures, and blends the damage so cleanly that most homeowners forget where it was.

Repairs That Fit Under “Patch”

We handle the everyday damage that walls collect:

• Nail and screw holes left behind by pictures and shelving
• Dents and gashes from furniture, tools, and moving days
• Doorknob holes, from fist-sized punches down to half-moon cracks
• Small surprises — ceiling scrapes, corner dings, chipped drywall edges

If the damaged area is bigger than a dinner plate or the wall behind it is soft and wet, that’s a different job — a rebuild. We’ll tell you which one you have, honestly, before we quote anything.

What Makes a Patch Invisible

Anyone can shove compound in a hole. Making it vanish takes five deliberate steps:

1. Prepare the opening — clean edges and a solid base for the repair to bond to
2. Fill it right — matching compound or backing board to the wall’s construction
3. Tape the seams — so joints can’t telegraph through the paint months later
4. Rebuild the texture — practiced first on a board, then matched on your wall
5. Blend the finish — feathered edges so light, not the patch, defines the surface

Miss a step and the repair glows under afternoon light. We don’t miss steps.

Why Richardson Walls Need the Extra Care

Richardson grew in bursts, and each era of housing left a different wall finish. The post-war and 60s homes near the downtown square and Heights Park often carry older, heavier textures. The 70s and 80s neighborhoods — Canyon Creek and the streets around it — mostly have sprayed knockdown. A patch that ignores the wall’s era sticks out immediately.

Our crews work these neighborhoods daily and know which finish they’re walking into before the door closes behind them.

What Happens on Repair Day

We arrive in the time window we gave you, lay protection over floors and nearby furniture, and keep the work area contained. Most single patches are done in a few hours — filled, textured, and cleaned up. If the repair needs a return trip for drying between coats, we schedule it before we leave, so there’s no guessing.

Fair Pricing, Written Down First

Patch pricing is based on size and finish, and we give you the number before any work starts. It doesn’t change afterward. Richardson addresses never pay a trip charge, and there are no surprise line items when we wrap up.
