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
Texture is applied to drywall to hide imperfections or add visual character to a room. Common styles include orange peel, knockdown, or skip trowel. If you have an existing texture, we can match it during repairs so the patch disappears. If you want a new look, we apply the compound and use specific rollers or sprayers to create the pattern. Costs vary by the complexity of the design.
Frequently asked in Sparks
What are common issues with drywall corners?

What's the best method for patching a hole in drywall?

Pros tape the seams around the patch and apply joint compound. Several thin layers of mud are applied and sanded smooth between coats. This ensures the patch blends seamlessly with the surrounding wall.

How do you spackle small holes in drywall?
For small holes, pros use a lightweight spackling compound. They apply the compound with a putty knife, filling the hole and smoothing it flush with the wall.

How does a drywall pole sander work?
A drywall pole sander attaches to an extension pole, allowing professionals to sand high walls and ceilings. It smooths joint compound and removes imperfections efficiently.
