What We Repair

Drywall damage comes in many forms. We handle all of them, from simple nail holes to full panel replacements after water damage or renovations.

Holes and Punctures

Small nail holes, doorknob impacts, and medium-sized holes from removed fixtures or ductwork access.

Cracks and Settling Lines

Hairline cracks, seam separation, and settlement cracks that appear at corners, along joints, or across the field of a wall.

Water-Damaged Sections

Softened, stained, or bubbling drywall from roof leaks, plumbing failures, or basement moisture. We remove and replace the affected material.

Popcorn Ceiling Removal

Scraping and skim-coating textured ceilings to a smooth, paint-ready finish.

Our Process

1

Damage Assessment

We inspect the damage type and size and check for any moisture or structural issues behind the wall before starting repairs.

2

Moisture and Mold Check

Water damage requires identifying and addressing the source first. We confirm the area is dry and flag any mold concerns before closing up the wall.

3

Patch or Panel Replacement

Small holes get a backing patch; larger damage gets a full cut-in panel replacement. The right approach depends on the damage size and wall condition.

4

Taping and Mudding

Joint compound is applied in layers with drying time between coats. Feathering the edges is what makes the repair blend seamlessly into the original wall.

5

Sanding and Priming

Once fully dry, the compound is sanded smooth and primed so paint adheres evenly across old and new material.

6

Paint-Ready Finish

Final inspection confirms the repair is level, smooth, and ready for paint. We can also provide a matched coat if you want the repair painted in the same session.

Why Homeowners Choose True Pro

We Find the Problem First

Water-damaged drywall gets a moisture check before we close it up. We are not in the business of hiding a problem under new compound.

Multiple Coats, Full Drying Time

Joint compound applied in one thick pass cracks and shrinks. We apply multiple thin coats with full drying time between each, which is why our repairs hold.

Paint-Ready Standard

Our repairs are primed and feathered to the surrounding wall. You should not be able to find the patch in normal lighting.

What Affects the Cost of Drywall Repair

Drywall repair cost scales with the size and complexity of the damage. Here is what factors into every estimate.

Damage Size

Small holes and nail pops take an hour or two. Large patches requiring full panel cuts take a full day or more, plus drying time between compound coats.

Water Damage Assessment

Water-damaged areas need additional inspection to confirm the source is resolved and the surrounding material is fully dry before we close it.

Number of Repairs

Multiple repairs in one space can be batched efficiently. Isolated single repairs in different rooms take proportionally more time to schedule.

Painting After Repair

New compound and primer absorb paint differently than the surrounding wall. A matched coat over the repair area is often the cleanest finish and can be included in the same visit.

Every estimate is free, written, and specific to your project.

Serving Staten Island and the surrounding region

Older Staten Island homes frequently have plaster walls rather than modern drywall, especially in pre-1970s construction in areas like St. George, New Brighton, and Stapleton. Plaster repair is more involved than drywall patching and requires different materials and techniques. Water damage is also common in Staten Island homes due to the borough's age, older roofing stock, and basement flooding risk, particularly in lower-elevation neighborhoods on the South Shore.

“The kitchen cabinets look brand new. They masked everything in plastic, sprayed a perfect finish, and you'd never know they were here besides the cabinets themselves.”

“They repainted our entire first floor before we listed the house. Color advice was spot on, coverage was perfect, and they finished a day early. Exactly the result we needed.”

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I fix small drywall holes myself? +
Nail holes and dings up to about a quarter-inch can be handled with spackling paste and a putty knife. Holes larger than a golf ball, cracks running along seams, or any water-damaged area are better left to a pro to avoid a visible patch line.
How long does drywall repair take? +
Small single-hole repairs can be done in a day. Larger patches with multiple coats of compound take 2 to 3 days because each coat needs to dry fully before the next. We factor drying time into the schedule and do not rush it.
Do you repair water-damaged drywall? +
Yes. We assess the source of the moisture first, confirm the area is dry, then remove and replace the damaged section. Skipping the source assessment and painting over water damage is how you get recurring bubbles and mold.
Will I need to paint after the repair? +
Almost always, yes. Primer and new compound absorb paint differently than the surrounding wall, so a painted finish requires at least a fresh coat over the repair area and usually a full wall pass for an invisible result. We can match your existing color and paint in the same visit.
What is the difference between patching and mudding? +
Patching fills the hole with a backing material and a surface patch. Mudding is the joint compound work that creates a smooth, level surface over the patch. Both steps are usually part of the same repair process.
Can DIY drywall patches look seamless? +
With small damage, yes. With anything larger, the difficulty is the mudding and feathering: getting the edges level and invisible takes practice and the right tools. Most DIY patches are visible in raking light. We sand and prime to a professional standard.
