Repair Your Walls So They Look Better Than Ever Before
Expert Drywall Repairs To Hide & Remove Imperfections
At EK Painting, we strive to make the drywall repair process smooth and stress-free for our customers while maintaining the highest standards of quality and craftsmanship. Our expert team will execute every aspect of your drywall repair, from color matching to texture blending, with precision. At the end of the project, our customers are often surprised by how easy and straightforward the process can be.
Our Drywall Repair Services Cover a Wide Range of Common Issues, Including:
- Cracks from Settling - Over time, homes naturally settle, which can lead to cracks forming in drywall. Our team repairs these cracks seamlessly, blending them into your existing wall so they're virtually invisible.
- Moisture and Water Damage - Whether due to a leak, high humidity, or other moisture issues, water can severely damage drywall. We’ll remove damaged sections, replace them with new drywall, and prevent any recurring moisture issues where possible.
- Doorknob Holes and Accidental Damage - Everyday wear and tear can leave dents, holes, or scratches on your walls. We fix everything from small doorknob dings to more extensive accidental damage, restoring your walls to a like-new condition.
- Popping Nails and Fasteners - Sometimes, drywall nails or screws can pop out due to changes in the wall structure. We secure these loose fasteners and cover them, so they’re no longer visible or at risk of causing further damage.
- Furniture Scuffs and Minor Cosmetic Damage - Moving furniture or everyday use can leave scuffs or minor cosmetic issues on drywall. Our team can handle these with precision, ensuring your walls look flawless and well-maintained.
- Drywall Finishing and Texturing - In addition to repairs, we also offer drywall finishing and texturing to match your existing walls, whether it’s a smooth, seamless surface or a textured style. This option is ideal for repairs that need to blend in perfectly with surrounding areas.

"It's tough finding good painters! EK Painting had good reviews so I took a chance on them. G-R-E-A-T decision! I dreaded the inconvenience I would have to endure 'cause I had wallpaper that was up for 30yrs. removed in my kitchen & then had the room painted as well as the living room with 20' ceilings, a dining room, sun room & stairway lined with spindles that led to the high ceiling hallway & all got exquisitely painted in four days. Every bit of the painting was detailed oriented & all done with no mess in FOUR days! The entire team was always professional & polite at all times. Most importantly, my entire house looks absolutely beautiful because of the excellent, careful & precise painters this team is. I feel as though I moved into a newly built home! I'm so very happy & know you would be also if you have EK Painting do your painting. I would highly recommend them to do all your painting jobs. A great team!"

"Great experience from start to finish. These guys are clean, efficient, knowledgeable, and honest. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend their services. Kelly and his crew had their hands full with old wallpaper removal from plaster walls...my job wasn't easy. They started with a color consult which I found to be an incredibly classy touch. Kelly communicated with me every step of the way. We had an open dialog all day long, every day. This blew me away as I've grown accustomed to typical contractor communication skills (or lack thereof). Their efforts completely changed the interior of my house. I couldn't be happier with how everything turned out. Great guy, great crew, great company. Good luck to you guys; wish you nothing but continued success."

Drywall Maintenance Tips from EK Painting
To keep your walls looking great and avoid frequent repairs, here are some easy maintenance tips from the experts at EK Painting:
- Control Moisture Levels - Moisture is one of the biggest culprits when it comes to drywall damage. Make sure your home is well-ventilated, especially in areas like bathrooms and kitchens. Use exhaust fans if possible, and consider a dehumidifier if you notice dampness in your home.
- Use Proper Hanging Techniques - When hanging pictures, shelves, or decorations, avoid heavy items unless you’re using wall anchors. Properly installed hardware can help prevent stress cracks and damage around hanging points. If you’re unsure about the weight limit, feel free to ask EK Painting for advice on safe wall hanging.
- Watch for Early Signs of Damage - Every now and then, take a look at your walls for signs of wear and tear, like small cracks, nail pops, or scuffs. Addressing these issues early can prevent more significant damage later. If you see anything that needs repair, contact EK Painting for a quick fix before it gets worse.
- Be Careful During Furniture Moving - Moving furniture can sometimes leave dents, scratches, or scuffs on your drywall. To prevent this, use furniture sliders or be cautious with heavier pieces. If any damage occurs, EK Painting is here to help restore your walls to their original condition.
Following these simple tips can keep your walls in great shape and minimize the need for frequent repairs. And remember, if damage does occur, EK Painting offers professional drywall repair to ensure your walls look as good as new!
What Affects Drywall Repair Costs?
Understanding the factors that influence drywall repair costs can help you make informed decisions and set realistic expectations. At EK Painting, we believe in transparency, so here’s an overview of the main elements that can impact the cost of drywall repair:
- Size and Extent of the Damage - The size of the damage is one of the most significant cost factors. Small cracks or nail pops are typically quicker and less complex to repair than large holes or widespread areas of damage. Larger repairs require more materials and time, especially if extensive patching or replacement is necessary.
- Type of Damage - Different types of damage may require different repair methods. For example, moisture or water damage usually involves additional steps to ensure the area is fully dry and secure before repairing. Damage from structural issues, like cracks due to settling, may also require a slightly different approach to ensure durability.
- Texturing and Finishing Requirements - Many walls have specific textures, such as knockdown, orange peel, or smooth finishes. Matching the repaired area to the existing wall texture requires skill and time, which can affect the cost. Our skilled technicians at EK Painting take pride in creating seamless blends that make repairs virtually invisible.
- Painting and Color Matching - To achieve a truly seamless look, many customers opt to have the repaired area painted. Matching paint colors and applying a smooth, even finish can add to the cost, but it provides a professional, polished result that blends perfectly with the rest of the wall. At EK Painting, we use high-quality paints and techniques to ensure a flawless finish.
- Accessibility of the Repair Area - Some repairs are in easily accessible locations, while others may require extra effort due to their position. For example, repairing a drywall ceiling or working around fixtures and furniture can add to the time and effort involved, which can influence the cost.
- Additional Preparation and Cleanup Needs - Certain repairs may require extra preparation or cleanup, especially if there’s debris, dust, or old paint to remove. At EK Painting, we take every precaution to keep your space clean and tidy, using protective coverings and leaving the area spotless once the repair is complete.
