Drywall Repair

Repair dry wall damage for homes and businesses in Meridian

That crack over the doorway isn't fixing itself. Neither is the hole your kid's doorknob made last spring. Good news: both are fixable, and Meridian Drywall Repair Pros handles holes, cracks, nail pops, water stains, and full texture blending across Meridian and the surrounding Treasure Valley.

Meridian's growth is part of the story here. New subdivisions are still settling, which means fresh nail pops and seam cracks in homes just a few years old. Older Ada County homes bring a different challenge: matching hand-applied texture that's decades old. Meridian Drywall Repair Pros treats those as two different jobs, not one generic patch.

Why choose us

Why choose Meridian Drywall Repair Pros

  • Texture matching is our specialty, not an afterthought

    Meridian Drywall Repair Pros test-blends knockdown, orange peel, and smooth finishes under real lighting before calling a patch finished.

  • Written estimates before any work starts

    You see the price and scope on paper first. No surprise line items when the job wraps.

  • We know why Meridian walls crack

    New subdivisions settle. Older homes shift with the seasons. We treat those two problems differently, not with a one-size patch.

  • Materials suited to Idaho's dry climate

    Seams and hairline cracks widen here more than in wetter states. We compensate with flexible tape and proper cure time.

How it works

  1. Site visit and estimate photo
    Step 1

    Site inspection

    We look at the damage and ask what caused it, same visit.

  2. Protecting the workspace photo
    Step 2

    Clean removal of compromised drywall back to solid material.

  3. Removing damaged drywall photo
    Step 3

    Mesh or paper tape bridges the joint before mud goes on.

  4. Tape and mud the patch photo
    Step 4

    Mudding the patch

    Multiple thin coats, sanded between, build a flat surface.

  5. Sand smooth between coats photo
    Step 5

    Sanding smooth

    Edges feathered out so the patch disappears into the wall.

  6. Texture matching photo
    Step 6

    Texture matching

    Knockdown, orange peel, or smooth applied to match existing wall.

  7. Drywall Repair Prime and paint-ready finish photo

Materials

Materials and methods we use

We name real products because "professional grade" doesn't tell you anything useful.

  • Paperless mold-resistant board photo

    Lightweight joint compound

    Easier to sand, less shrinkage between coats, which matters when Idaho's dry air pulls moisture out fast.

  • Mesh joint tape photo

    Paper and mesh joint tape

    Paper tape for flat seams, mesh for stress points that see more movement.

  • Moisture-resistant primer-sealer photo

    Knockdown and orange peel texture systems

    Sprayed and knocked back with a trowel to match the exact pattern already on your wall.

  • Hopper-gun orange peel texture photo

    Metal corner bead

    Goes on impact-prone corners so the edge stays straight instead of dinging again in six months.

  • Knockdown texture technique photo

    Stain-blocking primer

    Seals old water stains so they don't bleed through fresh paint down the road.

  • Metal corner bead photo

    Moisture-resistant board

    Used near ceilings and areas that see occasional dampness, holds up better long term.

    Price was way more affordable than the other quotes we got for drywall patching. Still felt premium — clean jobsite, solid finish, and I'd hire them again without thinking twice.

    Called Meridian Drywall Repair Pros after a neighbor tip in Meridian. Super easy to deal with — clear answers, no runaround, and they actually cared about the details on our drywall repair.

    Honestly did not expect such a professional team. They showed up on time, explained every step, and the texture matching turned out better than I pictured.

Common questions

Drywall Repair FAQs

How much to pay for drywall repair?

Most small holes and single patches run in the low hundreds. Larger sections, ceiling work, or heavy texture matching push the range higher. A quick look at the damage gets you a real number, not a guess.

How much does drywall repair cost in Meridian?

Small patches and nail pops usually land between $150 and $400. Seam or crack repair with texture blending runs $300 to $900. Larger section replacement or ceiling work can run $800 to $2,500 depending on square footage. Ask for a free estimate to get a number tied to your actual wall.

How to repair drywall yourself?

For a small nail hole, spackle and sand it flush, then touch up paint. For anything past a couple inches, or if the wall has visible texture, DIY tends to leave a shadow or a bump you'll see every time the light hits it wrong.

Is DIY drywall repair a good idea?

For a single small hole or dent, sure, go for it. For seam cracks that keep coming back, textured walls, or anything on a ceiling, a pro saves you from redoing it twice.

How long does drywall repair take?

A small patch is often same-day. Seam or crack repair with multiple coats runs 2 to 3 days because compound needs time to dry between passes. Add a day for texture blend and paint-ready finish on bigger jobs.

Do I need a permit for drywall repair?

Small patches, nail pop repair, and cosmetic crack fixes typically don't need one. Larger wall or ceiling section replacement, or anything disturbing electrical boxes, often does. Check with Meridian or Ada County to be sure before a bigger job starts.
