Drywall patch — Lansing, MI
Last updated: September 24, 2026
What affects the price
Drywall projects vary based on a few main factors. The total square footage, the height of your ceilings, and the level of finish required—like smooth wall versus textured—are the biggest drivers. If your walls have significant water damage or require mold remediation, that adds complexity. Accessibility also matters; tight corners or areas requiring scaffolding take more time than open rooms. Exact pricing confirmed free on the call.
About this service
A patch is the fix for holes, dents, or accidental damage in your existing walls. Whether it is a small doorknob impact or a larger area where plumbing work was performed, we cut out the damaged section and install a fresh piece of material. We then tape, mud, and sand the area to blend it into the surrounding texture. You need this when you want to restore your wall to its original state without replacing the entire sheet.
Frequently asked in Lansing
What is sheetrock and how does it differ from drywall?
Sheetrock is actually a brand name for drywall, a gypsum-based panel used for interior walls and ceilings. So, in Lansing, when people say sheetrock, they generally mean drywall.

What's the average price for drywall installation in Lansing?
Is moisture-resistant drywall recommended for Lansing homes?
Moisture-resistant drywall is highly recommended for areas in Lansing homes prone to high humidity, such as bathrooms, kitchens, and laundry rooms. This type of drywall is treated to resist mold and mildew growth, which can be a concern in any home environment. It provides an extra layer of protection, helping to maintain the integrity and appearance of your walls and ceilings over time.
What kind of nails are used for drywall?
Drywall is typically attached to studs using drywall screws, not nails, for a more secure and flush fit. However, some older installations might use drywall nails. Professionals primarily use screws as they provide a stronger hold and are less likely to pop out over time. For repairs, they will use the appropriate fasteners to ensure the new drywall is securely attached to the framing.
How do you repair a drywall hole in Lansing?
Repairing a drywall hole in Lansing involves cleaning the damaged area and applying joint compound. For small holes, multiple thin coats of compound may be sufficient. For larger holes, a patch or a piece of new drywall is cut and fitted, then taped and covered with several layers of compound. Professionals ensure the repair is smooth and blends perfectly with the surrounding wall for an invisible finish.
