Got a hole from a doorknob, a crack over the doorway, or a wall that just looks tired? That's the everyday stuff Meridian Drywall Repair Pros handles. Meridian's growth means a lot of homes are still settling, and that shows up as cracks and popped nails within the first few years.
This service covers general damage repair: holes, dents, cracks, and worn sections that need a clean patch and a texture blend nobody notices later. Meridian Drywall Repair Pros works both new-build settling issues and older Ada County homes that need a more careful texture match.

How Our Drywall Repair Process Works

failed material gets removed cleanly to sound drywall.
Step 3Taping the seam
mesh or paper tape bridges the new patch.
Step 4Mudding the patch
joint compound builds up in thin coats.
Step 5Sanding smooth
dried compound gets leveled flush.
Step 6Texture matching
knockdown, orange peel, or smooth finish applied to blend.
Step 7Priming the patch
stops flashing before paint.
Step 8Final walkthrough
we check it under different light angles with you.

Lightweight joint compound
sands easier and dries faster in Idaho's dry air, which cuts down wait time between coats.
Mesh joint tape
self-adhesive and fast to apply on smaller patches.
Paper joint tape
stronger bond for larger seams that see more stress.
Knockdown texture spray
matches the most common wall texture in Meridian subdivisions.
Metal corner bead
reinforces outside corners that take impact damage.
Stain-blocking primer
used when a patch sits near an old water mark or discoloration.

Drywall Repair FAQs
How much does drywall repair cost in Meridian?
Small holes run $150–$350, while larger sections with texture matching can run $750 or more. Most jobs land in between depending on size and texture complexity.
How long does a typical repair take?
Small patches finish same-day. Larger repairs with multiple coats and texture matching usually take 2–3 days including dry time.
Can you match texture on an older home?
Though older knockdown or orange peel texture applied by hand takes more care than newer sprayed textures. We test-patch before committing to the full repair.
Is DIY drywall repair a good idea?
For a single small nail hole, sure. For anything with texture or repeat cracking, a DIY attempt often shows up as a visible patch later.
Do I need a permit for a drywall patch?
Small patch and crack repairs are typically permit-free. Larger replacement or work near electrical may need one, so check with the city if you're not sure.
