- Licensed & Insured
- Same-Day Available

Why You Need It
Holes and cracks do not fix themselves, and they get worse. A small nail hole is easy. A doorknob hole, a water stain, or a crack that keeps coming back in an old plaster wall is where people get stuck. In Boston that is common, because a lot of homes are plaster over wood lath, not drywall, and they crack in their own way.
What It Includes
We cut out the bad section, patch it, tape and mud the seams, then sand and texture-match so the repair blends into the wall. On plaster-and-lath we anchor it the right way so it does not crack again by winter. If the patch needs paint after, we can paint it too so the spot disappears.
What's Included
- Nail holes, dents, and small punctures
- Water-damage patches
- Cracks in drywall and in plaster-and-lath walls
- Texture matching so the patch blends into the wall
- Paint touch-up available as a follow-on service
How Long It Takes
Most small repairs are a single visit, a couple hours. A bigger water-damage patch or several spots around the house is usually still one day.
We show up when we say we will, put down cover so your floors stay clean, and haul the mess out with us. Owner-operated, licensed, insured, and backed by our satisfaction guarantee. This is part of our full drywall contractor service across Boston and the North Shore.
Drywall Repair FAQs
Is my wall drywall or plaster?
A lot of Boston homes built before 1950 have plaster over wood lath instead of drywall. Plaster cracks differently and needs different anchoring, so we check which one we're dealing with before we patch it.
Will the patch be visible after it's painted?
We texture-match the patch to the surrounding wall before it's primed, so it blends in rather than standing out as an obvious repair.
Can you fix a crack that keeps coming back?
Recurring cracks are common on plaster-and-lath walls that were patched like drywall in the past. We anchor the repair properly so it holds instead of reopening.
