What We Repair
Drywall damage and defects
Nail pops
Raised fasteners and small surface bumps corrected and leveled.
Screw pops
Loose or shifted drywall fasteners repaired so they do not show through the finished surface.
Cracked seams
Failed tape lines and seam movement repaired and blended into the surrounding surface.
Corner bead damage
Chipped, dented, or damaged corners rebuilt for clean, straight lines.
Water-damaged surfaces
Drywall and ceiling repairs performed after the source of the water intrusion has been corrected.
Bad previous repairs
Raised patches, visible repair edges, and uneven previous work reworked to blend more cleanly.
When texture is involved, the repair has to address both the damaged area and the surrounding texture so the finished ceiling reads consistently.
Our Drywall Repair Process
A repair can be technically filled and still remain visible once light crosses the wall. Our process focuses on stabilization, flatness, feathering, texture when required, and proper preparation for the final coating.
Older plaster walls can require stabilization and rebuilding before the finished surface can be properly restored.
We identify the damaged material, existing surface condition, and what is likely to remain visible after coating.
Damaged areas are patched, secured, taped, or rebuilt as required for the individual repair.
Joint compound is feathered into the surrounding area to reduce visible transitions and repair edges.
Existing ceiling or wall texture is reproduced and blended when texture is part of the repair scope.
Primer is used as required to prepare the repaired surface for a more uniform finished coating.
The completed repair is evaluated for smoothness, blending, and readiness for the agreed finishing scope.
Before / During / After
Drywall repair is more than filling a damaged spot. The surrounding surface has to be rebuilt, feathered, sanded, and prepared so the repaired area does not immediately draw attention after painting.
What Affects Drywall Repair Cost
Pricing is driven by the repair scope
- Repair size: small patch, multiple repairs, or larger wall and ceiling restoration
- Access: ceiling height, stairwells, tight spaces, or built-in obstacles
- Existing condition: failed seams, damaged plaster, previous patches, or unstable material
- Texture: reproducing and blending existing wall or ceiling texture
- Finish requirements: prime-ready repair versus repair plus painting
How we quote drywall-only projects
- We evaluate the damaged area and surrounding surface
- We define whether the project is repair-only, prime-ready, or includes painting
- You receive a written scope describing the work included
- Photos may be sufficient for smaller repairs, while larger projects may require an onsite evaluation

Drywall Repair Questions Homeowners Ask
Can you match texture so the repair doesn’t stand out?
Yes. When texture matching is part of the repair, we reproduce and blend the surrounding texture as closely as practical so the repaired area reads consistently with the existing surface.
Do you repair plaster as well as drywall?
Yes. We repair both drywall and plaster, including older walls that may require stabilization, rebuilding, patching, and surface preparation before finishing.
Can you repair a ceiling after a water leak?
Yes, after the source of the water intrusion has been located and corrected. Damaged drywall or plaster can then be removed or repaired, and stain-control primer can be used where appropriate before painting.
How long do most drywall repairs take?
Timing depends on the size and type of repair, drying time between coats, texture requirements, and whether painting is included. Smaller repairs may be completed quickly, while larger restoration work can require multiple visits.
Do you also paint after drywall repairs?
Yes. Five Star provides both drywall repair and painting, so the repair and final coating can be handled as one project when requested. Visit our house painting services page for painting details.
