Can a doorknob hole be fixed in one visit?

Yes — almost always. A doorknob hole repair includes cutting clean edges, hanging a new drywall insert, taping the seams, matching texture, and painting. Our crew brings everything needed to complete all of these steps in a single visit, typically in 2–3 hours.

Should I install a door stop after the repair?

Absolutely — and we always recommend it. A wall-mounted or floor-mounted door stop prevents the knob from reaching the wall regardless of how hard the door is opened. Without a stop, the same repair will likely be needed again.

Is a doorknob hole repair expensive?

No — it's one of our most affordable repairs. The job is well-scoped, takes a predictable amount of time, and uses a modest amount of material. Call or text (720) 885-2838 for a free estimate — we can often quote over a photo.

About This Service

A door swung open too hard punches through the drywall core and leaves an irregular hole that spackle can't fix properly. We cut the damaged section to clean edges, hang a new drywall insert with proper backing, tape the seams, and match the existing texture and paint exactly — repair is invisible, structurally solid, and completed same-day. We'll also recommend the right door stop to prevent it from happening again.

Our Process

Assess the Impact Zone

We check the extent of damage — sometimes the impact cracks the drywall beyond the visible hole.

Cut Clean

The damaged area is cut to a precise rectangle with clean edges for a solid patch.

Back & Hang

A drywall insert is fitted with proper backing on all four sides for a flush, stable surface.

Tape, Mud & Sand

Seams are taped and finish coats applied — sanded flat between coats.

Texture & Paint

Texture matched and paint blended — result is invisible from any angle.

Stud or backing-supported patch — not a mesh kit
Seams taped for long-lasting flat result
