💸 Drywall Repair Pricing in 2025: San Diego
If you’re dealing with holes in your drywall, one of the first questions that comes up is: “How much is this going to cost me?” Whether it’s a door knob dent, water damage, or a gaping 4x4 section that needs replacement, drywall repair pricing depends on size, complexity, and finish. Below, we break it down.
🟢 Small Holes (Baseball-sized or smaller)
Examples: Nail pops, screw holes, door knob dings, cable pass-throughs
Typical Size: Less than 4 inches across
Price Range: $100 – $200
These are quick fixes that often involve patching with mesh or a drywall plug, a skim coat of mud, sanding, and touch-up paint. If the hole is isolated and accessible, we can usually knock it out in under an hour.
💡 Pro Tip: If you have touch-up paint available, we can often blend the repair perfectly. Otherwise, full wall painting may be recommended for seamless results.
🟡 Medium Holes (2x2 feet or smaller)
Examples: Minor water damage, accidents during plumbing/electrical work, kids or pets causing chaos
Typical Size: Around 2 ft. by 2 ft.
Price Range: $250 – $400
This level of damage usually requires cutting out a square section, installing backing support, replacing drywall, taping, multiple coats of joint compound, sanding, and matching the texture. Paint may be extra, depending on scope.
⚠️ Drywall texture matching can take a bit more time and precision. Orange peel, knockdown, or smooth — we’ve got you covered.
🔴 Large Holes (4x4 feet or smaller)
Examples: Major water damage, structural repair, large plumbing/electrical cuts, wall-mounted TV removals gone wrong
Typical Size: Around 4 ft. by 4 ft. or more
Price Range: $450 – $700+
Larger holes may require installing new framing, larger drywall sheets, and more labor for blending the repair into the rest of the wall. Ceiling repairs also cost more due to overhead work and setup time.
🔧 Need a patch in the ceiling? Expect an additional $50–$150 depending on height and location.
🧾 What Affects Pricing?
Ceiling vs. Wall – Ceiling patches are tougher.
Texture Matching – Knockdown, orange peel, smooth wall… some take more effort to blend.
Paint – If you have matching paint, we can use it. If not, we can color-match or repaint the full wall for the cleanest look.
Multiple Holes – We offer bundle pricing if you have more than one hole that needs fixing.
