Holes and cracks in drywall range from a stray doorknob dent to a crack that keeps reopening after a DIY spackle job. Boise Drywall Repair Pros sizes up the damage first. A small nail hole and a fist-sized hole need different backing and compound approaches to hold long-term.

A patch that bubbles or cracks again usually means the tape wasn't embedded properly or the backing wasn't solid enough. Getting the prep right the first time is what keeps the repair from showing up on a future call.

FAQs

Drywall Hole and Crack Patching FAQs

Is it cheaper to patch a small hole or replace the whole sheet?

For most nail holes and dents, patching is far cheaper and faster. Full sheet replacement only makes sense when damage is widespread or the drywall is structurally compromised.

Why does my drywall tape keep bubbling after I patch it myself?

Bubbling usually means the tape wasn't fully embedded in wet compound or air got trapped underneath. A pro repair presses the tape flat before it sets.

How long before I can paint over a fresh drywall patch?

Once the final sanded coat is dry, usually within a day, the patch is ready for primer and paint.

What size hole needs backing material instead of just compound?

Anything larger than a couple inches across generally needs backing, since compound alone won't span the gap without cracking.

Can you match the texture around the patch?

Yes. Boise Drywall Repair Pros blends knockdown, orange peel, or smooth finishes so the patched area doesn't stand out once painted.
