Drywall patch — Meridian, ID
Last updated: September 24, 2026
What affects the price
When you get a quote for drywall work, the final number depends on a few specific things. The size of the area matters, but the condition of your existing walls is just as important. If there is significant water damage, mold, or old layers that need removal, that adds labor time. Ceiling height and access also play a role, as harder-to-reach spots require extra equipment. The type of finish you want—smooth versus textured—changes the material needs and hours spent sanding. Every space is unique, so exact pricing confirmed free on the call.
About this service
A drywall patch is a targeted repair for holes, dents, or water-damaged areas that do not require replacing an entire wall. Whether you accidentally poked a hole moving furniture or had a plumbing leak, we cut out the damaged section and install a new piece of board. We then tape, mud, and sand it to match the surrounding wall. You need this when you have localized damage that needs to disappear so the wall looks brand new.
