Drywall Repair and Patching in Chicago
From a doorknob hole to a water-damaged ceiling to a whole new room: hung, taped, finished smooth and painted so you cannot find the patch.
Repairs that disappear
Drywall work is half skill and half patience. We cut clean openings, back them properly, tape with real setting compound and feather coats wide enough that the repair vanishes under paint. Textured ceilings are matched, not ignored.
Older Chicago homes often have plaster. We repair plaster where it makes sense and replace it with drywall where it does not, and we will tell you which is which before we start.
- Holes, cracks, nail pops and corner bead
- Water damage and ceiling repairs
- New drywall for remodels and build-outs
- Texture and plaster matching in older homes

Drywall FAQ
Can you fix a small hole the same day?
Usually yes for small patches, with a return visit for the final coat and paint once the compound has cured.
Do you repair plaster walls?
Yes. We skim and patch plaster in older Chicago buildings and only recommend replacement when the plaster has failed.
Can you close up the openings left by a plumber or electrician?
That is one of the most common calls we get. We close, finish and paint them to match.
Will the repair be visible?
Not when it is done properly. We feather repairs wide, prime them and repaint the full wall when needed so there is no flashing.
