Drywall hole repair — San Francisco, CA

San Francisco homes feature a variety of drywall finishes. 'Flat' finishes are common for their matte appearance, effectively hiding minor wall imperfections. 'Eggshell' and 'satin' finishes offer a subtle sheen and are more durable and washable. In areas like kitchens and bathrooms, 'semi-gloss' or 'gloss' finishes are often used for their high washability and resistance to moisture. Textures like 'orange peel' or 'knockdown' can also be applied. The pros can discuss the best finish for your repair.

Patching a hole in drywall typically involves cleaning the edges of the damage. For small holes, a self-adhesive patch or a small piece of drywall can be used. For larger holes, a section of new drywall is cut to fit and secured. Joint compound is applied over the patch and any seams, along with drywall tape. Multiple thin coats of compound are applied and sanded smooth to blend the repair seamlessly with the surrounding wall. We can arrange for licensed pros to handle your patching needs.
