What counts as a "large" hole that needs a professional patch?

Any hole larger than about 6 inches — roughly the size of a fist — typically needs a stud-to-stud repair rather than a patch kit. We cut to clean edges and hang new drywall, which gives a flat, solid result that patch kits can't match.

How long does a large hole repair take?

Most large hole repairs — cut, hang, tape, texture, and paint — are completed in a single 3–5 hour visit. Very large repairs may require two visits to allow compound to dry between coats, and we'll tell you upfront what to expect.

Will you be able to match my texture on a large patch?

Yes. The stud-to-stud cut method means we have a clean, large surface to work with, which is actually easier to texture match than a small patch with tight edges. We match knockdown, orange peel, skip trowel, smooth, and any other Utah home texture style with precision.

About This Service

Large holes — typically 6 inches and up — require a stud-to-stud repair approach: we cut the damaged area to the nearest studs, install new drywall, tape the seams, and finish with compound in multiple coats. No matter the cause — a doorknob blowout, contractor access cutout, or accidental punch-through — this method creates a repair that is structurally sound, flat, and genuinely undetectable.

Our Process

Cut to Clean Edges

The damaged area is cut to a clean rectangle between studs, removing all broken or loose drywall.

Install Backing

Horizontal blocking or backing boards are secured between studs to support the patch panel edges.

Hang New Drywall

A new drywall panel is cut to fit, screwed in place, and checked for flush alignment.

Tape & Mud

Seams are taped and mudded in multiple coats, sanded between coats for a perfectly flat surface.

Texture & Paint

Existing texture is matched and paint is feathered in — repair is invisible in the finished wall.
