Sheetrock, drywall, gypsum board. Different names, same material, same repair approach. If you've got damage and you're not sure which word to search, don't worry, Meridian Drywall Repair Pros handles it the same way either way.

Older Ada County homes sometimes used a different panel thickness than what goes into new Meridian builds, so getting the replacement panel right matters more than people expect. We check thickness before cutting anything.

What's included

What's Included

  • Typically included — thickness check, cut-out of damaged panel, replacement piece sized to match, taping, mudding, sanding, texture blend.
  • Optional — full-room repaint if the repaired section needs broader color matching.
  • Customer prep — let us know the approximate age of your home if you know it, it helps us guess panel thickness before we arrive.

FAQs

Sheetrock Repair FAQs

What's the difference between drywall and sheetrock?

None, really. They're the same gypsum board material. "Sheetrock" is a brand name that stuck as a general term.

How much does sheetrock repair cost?

Small sections run $200–$400. Larger repairs with panel replacement and texture matching can run $900–$1,800 depending on size and complexity.

Do older homes need special sheetrock?

Sometimes. Older Ada County homes may use different panel thickness than newer builds, so we check before ordering material.

How long will the repair take?

Small swaps finish in a day. Bigger sections with multiple coats and texture curing usually take 2–4 days.

Is DIY sheetrock repair realistic?

For small, smooth-wall cosmetic fixes, sure. For anything involving thickness mismatches or texture, a pro repair holds up better.
