What We Repair
Every Type of Drywall Damage — Walls & Ceilings
From a nail hole you can cover with your thumb to a section that needs to be cut out and replaced — NorTech handles the full range of drywall damage in any room of your home.
Nail Holes & Screw Pops
Small fastener holes and screw pops filled, sanded flush, and primed — invisible under paint and handled in minutes per repair.
Punch-Through Holes
Door handle impacts, accidental punctures, and larger holes patched with backing support, joint compound, and texture matching.
Stress & Settling Cracks
Hairline and wider cracks from house settling or structural movement filled, taped if needed, feathered, and blended with surrounding texture.
Water-Damaged Sections
Softened, stained, or crumbling drywall from leaks or moisture removed and replaced — provided the moisture source has already been resolved.
Ceiling Repairs
Cracks, holes, water rings, and sagging sections on ceilings repaired with the same process as wall repairs — patch, texture, prime.
Corner Bead Damage
Dented, cracked, or separated corner bead on walls and archways repaired or replaced and finished flush with surrounding drywall.
Large Section Replacement
Sections too damaged to patch are cut out cleanly, replaced with new drywall, taped, mudded, and finished to match the surrounding wall.
Previous Repair Touch-Ups
Visible old patches, shrinkage cracks in prior compound, or botched DIY repairs corrected and refinished to a clean, consistent surface.
Texture Matching
We Match Your Existing Wall Texture
A patch that doesn’t match the surrounding texture stands out as much as the original damage. NorTech technicians are trained on all common residential textures and finish each repair to blend — not just fill.
Smooth
Flat walls and ceilings with no added texture — common in newer and higher-end homes.
Orange Peel
Light, bumpy texture applied by spray — the most common wall finish in US residential construction.
Knockdown
Heavier splatter texture that is knocked down flat with a knife before drying — common in Southern and Western states.
Skip Trowel
Hand-applied irregular texture using a curved trowel — common in Mediterranean and Spanish-style homes.
Sand Texture
Fine grit added to paint or compound for a subtle, consistent rough surface — common in older construction.
Popcorn Ceiling
Heavily textured acoustic ceiling finish — repaired or blended where localized damage has occurred.
Before Your Technician Arrives
A few things to check and prepare before your drywall repair appointment to keep the job on schedule and the results clean.
- If the damage is from a leak or water intrusion, confirm the source has been fixed before your appointment — we do not repair active moisture damage.
- Clear the area around the damaged wall — move furniture, artwork, and décor at least 3 feet away from the repair zone.
- If you have leftover paint from the original wall color, have it on hand — your technician can advise on paint-readiness after the repair cures.
- Note all damage locations before the appointment — it’s faster to address multiple repairs in one visit than to schedule a return trip.
Pricing
What Drywall Repair Costs
Drywall repair pricing depends on the size and number of repairs, whether section replacement is needed, texture complexity, and your location. A handful of nail holes is priced very differently from a water-damaged section requiring cut-out and replacement.
Factors that affect drywall repair cost: damage size, number of separate repairs, wall vs. ceiling location, texture type and complexity, whether priming is required, and access difficulty. The fastest way to get a quote is to submit a request with photos of the damaged areas.
Customer Reviews
What Customers Say About NorTech Drywall Repair
“Door handle went through the wall and I’d been covering it with a picture frame for months. Tech patched it, matched the knockdown texture, and primed it. You genuinely cannot tell where the hole was.”
Carlos V.
“Had a water stain on the ceiling from an old roof leak — leak was already fixed but the drywall was soft and stained. NorTech cut out the damaged section, replaced it, and matched the texture. Solid work.”
Patricia W.
“Selling my house and had about a dozen screw holes and two larger patches needed throughout. Tech handled all of it in one visit, everything primed and ready to paint. Made the rooms look fresh again.”
Jerome B.
“Repair itself was fine — the patch is solid and the texture blends well. Docking two stars because I had to follow up twice to get the appointment confirmed. Once they showed up the work was done right.”
Fiona S.
“Large crack running along my living room ceiling — I was worried it was something structural. Tech assessed it, said it was settling movement, repaired and taped it properly. Painted over it the next day, looks perfect.”
Anita R.
“Had a previous DIY patch that was really obvious — wrong texture, visible edges. NorTech redid it completely. Matched the orange peel finish perfectly. Took about 45 minutes and now it’s invisible.”
Derek M.
FAQ
Drywall Repair — Frequently Asked Questions
Specific questions about NorTech’s drywall patch and repair service, process, and what to expect.
What types of drywall damage does NorTech repair?
NorTech repairs all common types of drywall damage including nail holes, screw pops, small and large punch-through holes, stress cracks, settling cracks, water-damaged sections, ceiling repairs, corner bead damage, and texture matching on walls and ceilings.
How much does drywall repair cost?
Drywall repair cost depends on the size of the damage, number of repairs, whether texture matching is required, and your location. NorTech provides a free upfront estimate before any work begins. Submit a quote request with photos of the damage for the most accurate pricing.
Can NorTech match my existing wall texture?
Yes. NorTech technicians are experienced with all common texture types including smooth, orange peel, knockdown, skip trowel, and popcorn. The patch is finished to blend with the surrounding surface so the repair is not visible.
Will the repaired area be ready to paint?
Yes. Drywall repairs are sanded smooth and primed before the technician leaves, leaving the surface paint-ready. Painting is not included in the standard drywall repair service but can be added — ask when requesting your quote.
How long does drywall repair take to dry before painting?
Joint compound and patching materials typically need 24 hours to fully cure before painting, depending on humidity and temperature. Your technician will advise you on the appropriate wait time for your specific repair.
Can NorTech repair water-damaged drywall?
Yes. NorTech repairs drywall damaged by water intrusion, leaks, or flooding — provided the source of moisture has already been resolved. We remove and replace damaged sections, apply joint compound, texture match, and prime. If the moisture source is still active, that must be addressed first.
What if I don’t know what caused the crack or damage?
Your technician will assess the damage on-site and identify whether it is cosmetic or structural in nature. Cosmetic cracks from settling, impact, or normal movement are repaired directly. If structural issues are suspected, the technician will advise you before proceeding.
Can NorTech repair drywall on ceilings?
Yes. NorTech repairs ceiling drywall including cracks, water stains, holes, and texture issues. Ceiling repairs follow the same process as wall repairs — patch, feather, texture match, and prime.
Is drywall repair covered by a warranty?
Yes. All NorTech drywall repair work is backed by a 1-year labor warranty. If any workmanship issue arises within 12 months, we return and correct it at no additional labor cost.
