Frequently asked questions about Drywall Repair in Philadelphia

Prices for drywall repair begin at $50 per hour in Philadelphia. Your overall project cost will vary based on the size of the hole in your wall and how many holes are being patched and painted.

It depends on the size of the job. A small hole can take under an hour, while larger damage can take hours. It also depends on the type of incident that caused the damage, like if there was a leak causing the damage that can take longer since it will need to be dried out before fixing the drywall. Ask your Tasker to get an estimate.

Yes, with the right tools and know-how you can repair drywall yourself! However, if you're not comfortable tackling this job solo or simply don't want to purchase tools for a one-time repair, book a qualified drywall repair Tasker in Philadelphia instead.

To repair a small hole in drywall, first clean the area around the hole, then apply a small amount of drywall compound, and smooth it out with a putty knife. For larger holes, you may need a drywall patch or mesh tape. Once the repair is dry, you can sand the area and paint it over to match the rest of the wall.

  • Katie C.Terrell was so great!! He wired and installed a new doorbell for us in about an hour with no issues, despite another electrician telling us the week before that it would be too complex and difficult to do. He was prompt, friendly, and a great problem solver, especially when our security alarm was as accidentally triggered and the fire department showed up 😅 I’d definitely hire him again for any electrical work in the future!Drywall Repair
  • Luz M.I had a fantastic experience with Ahmad! He was prompt, respectful, and arrived early, which I really appreciated. He went above and beyond by not only fixing and replacing my kitchen faucet but also adding two locks on my door. I will definitely be calling him again for future projects! Highly recommend!Drywall Repair

What is drywall?

Drywall is a building material used for interior walls and ceilings. It's made out of gypsum, which is naturally fire-resistant, and serves as a way to reduce sound between rooms. Insulating drywall helps to regular temperature inside a home and is designed to withstand everyday wear and tear. However, that doesn't mean damage still can't happen.

How does drywall get damaged?

  • Small dents from impact

  • Removing nail heads, wall anchors, and screws

  • Leaks

  • Pets playing

  • Pests

  • Tile removal

  • HVAC, electrical, or plumbing repairs
