A doorknob hole, an impact dent, or that crack over the bedroom door that seems to come back every year no matter what you do. These are two different problems that get lumped together, and honestly, they need slightly different fixes.
Meridian Drywall Repair Pros treats impact holes and stress cracks differently on purpose. A doorknob hole just needs a patch. A recurring crack over a doorway needs a technique that actually addresses why it keeps coming back.

Why Cracks Return Over Doorways
Doorway headers are stress points where the frame flexes slightly with seasonal humidity swings and normal house movement. A standard patch without flexible tape often cracks right back along the same line. Flex-tape and proper joint prep address that stress instead of just filling the gap.

Hole & Crack Repair FAQs
How much does it cost to fix a hole in drywall in Meridian?
A single doorknob-size hole typically runs $150–$300 including texture matching. Multiple holes together usually cost less per spot.
Why do I have cracks over doorways every year?
Doorway headers flex with seasonal humidity changes and normal settling, which stresses the drywall at that point repeatedly. A flexible tape repair holds up better than a standard patch.
How long does hole and crack repair take?
Single holes finish same-day. Stress crack repairs with flexible tape usually take 1–2 days including cure time.
Is DIY repair a good idea for holes and cracks?
Single holes are fine to DIY. Recurring cracks are trickier, since the underlying stress point needs proper flex-tape technique to actually stop the cycle.
Do these repairs need a permit?
Typical hole and crack repairs are cosmetic and don't require a permit .
