How large of a wall section can you patch in one visit?

Most wall section patches — from a single stud bay up to 8–10 linear feet of wall — can be completed same-day including tape, texture, and paint. Larger multi-bay sections may require two visits to allow compound to fully dry between coats, and we'll tell you the timeline upfront.

Will the patch seams crack over time?

Not if the installation is done correctly. The key is cutting to studs for a solid screw surface, framing any unsupported horizontal edges with blocking, and using fiberglass tape embedded in compound for the seams. This creates a durable joint that won't crack even as the house settles seasonally.

Can you access the wall for plumbing or electrical work and then close it back up after?

Yes — and this is a common sequence we handle. The tradesperson opens the wall, does their work, gets it inspected, and then we close it up after sign-off. We ask that the wall cavity be dry and the rough-in inspected before we hang new drywall, so the finished work won't need to be opened again.

About This Service

Wall section patches are needed after plumbers open walls for pipe repair, electricians run new circuits, or contractors make access cuts that leave large open sections. We cut the damaged area to the nearest studs, frame any unsupported edges, hang new drywall, and tape and finish the seams to a flat, paint-ready surface that matches the surrounding wall texture and paint perfectly. The result is a structurally sound, invisible repair — not a temporary cover-up.

Our Process

Cut to Studs

The damaged section is cut to the nearest studs to create clean, supported edges for the new panel.

Frame Unsupported Edges

Any horizontal cuts without stud support receive wood blocking between the studs.

Hang New Panel

A new drywall panel is cut to fit, screwed to studs and blocking, and checked flush with the existing wall.

Tape & Mud

All seams taped and mudded in multiple coats — sanded between each coat for a flat finish.

Texture & Paint

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