Why Burnsville Homeowners Choose Pettis Painting for Drywall Repair
Our Drywall Repair Process: From Damage to Paint-Ready
Damage Assessment & Prep
We assess the extent of damage, whether it’s a single nail pop, a hairline crack, a fist-sized hole, or a full section of water-damaged drywall. We remove loose material, cut back damaged areas to solid substrate, and clean the work area. Furniture and floors are protected with drop cloths.
Patching & Repair
For small holes (under 4”), we use mesh tape and setting compound. For larger holes, we cut in a new drywall section, tape the seams, and apply multiple coats of joint compound. Corner bead dents and cracked taped seams are re-taped and re-mudded. Water-damaged sections are removed entirely and replaced with new drywall.
Sanding & Feathering
Each coat of compound is sanded smooth and feathered out beyond the repair area so the edges blend seamlessly with the surrounding wall. We sand between coats for a glass-smooth profile. Dust is contained with drop cloths and cleanup.
Texture Matching & Priming
We match the wall’s existing texture, whether it’s smooth, orange peel, knockdown, or popcorn ceiling. Getting the texture right is what makes a repair invisible. Once textured and dry, we apply a coat of primer to seal the repair and ensure even paint absorption.
Painting & Final Walkthrough
We paint the repaired area (and surrounding wall if needed for a seamless blend) using the same paint and finish as the rest of the room. Your crew foreman inspects the completed repair under proper lighting and walks through it with you to confirm you’re satisfied.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Drywall repair costs depend on the size and number of repairs. Small patches (nail holes, minor cracks) may cost $150–$400. Medium repairs (doorknob holes, corner bead dents) typically run $300–$800. Large section replacements (water damage, major holes) can range from $500 to $1,500+. Pettis Painting provides free on-site estimates with clear pricing.
Yes, texture matching is one of the most important parts of a professional drywall repair. We match smooth, orange peel, knockdown, skip trowel, and popcorn textures so the repair blends invisibly with the surrounding wall. Getting the texture right is what separates a professional result from a visible patch.
Yes. Pettis Painting handles both the drywall repair and the painting in a single project. After patching, sanding, texturing, and priming the repair, we paint the area (and the surrounding wall if needed) so the repair is completely invisible. This is our key advantage, you don’t need to hire a separate painter.
Small repairs can be completed in a few hours. Multiple patches or larger repairs typically take 1–2 days because joint compound needs to dry between coats and each coat needs sanding. If painting is included, add another day. We provide a clear timeline during your estimate.
We repair nail pops, screw pops, hairline cracks, taped seam cracks, corner bead dents, small and large holes (from nail holes to fist-sized damage), water-damaged drywall, settling cracks, and skim coat imperfections. If the damage is structural (load-bearing walls), we’ll refer you to the appropriate contractor.
Yes, but the water source must be fixed first. If the leak has been repaired, we’ll cut out the water-damaged section, replace it with new drywall, tape the seams, mud, sand, texture-match, prime, and paint. If the leak hasn’t been fixed, we’ll advise you to address the plumbing or roofing issue before we do the repair.
Sanding drywall compound produces fine dust. We take precautions to contain it: we lay drop cloths, use dustless or low-dust sanding systems when possible, and clean up thoroughly after every visit. We won’t leave your home dusty.
Before. Drywall repairs should always be completed, primed, and texture-matched before any interior painting begins. Painting over unrepaired damage results in visible imperfections. Most Burnsville homeowners combine drywall repair with an interior painting project, and our crew handles both.
Yes. We repair ceiling cracks, water stains, nail pops, and holes. Ceiling texture matching (popcorn, knockdown, smooth) is included. Ceiling repairs require the same patch-sand-texture-prime-paint process as walls.
Our specialty is drywall repair, patching, crack repair, section replacement, and texture matching for existing walls. For full-room drywall installation (new construction or major renovations), we can assess the project and refer you to a drywall installer if the scope is beyond repair work.
