FAQs

Hole & Crack Repair FAQs

How much does it cost to fix a doorknob-size hole vs a full wall?

A doorknob-size hole usually runs $200-$450 as a single patch with texture matching. A full wall repair runs considerably more, often $600-$1,200 or above, since it's a larger cut-out and rebuild.

How long do I need to stay off the room while a patch dries and cures?

For a small patch, the room can usually be used again the same evening once the final coat is dry to the touch. For a larger doorknob-size hole, plan on the area being off-limits for 1-2 days to allow full cure before repainting or hanging anything nearby.
