How much does drywall repair cost in Georgetown, TX?

Small patches (nail holes, minor dings) run $75-$150 each. Larger repairs — a full section replacement with texture matching — are typically $250-$500 depending on size and texture complexity. We'll give you a specific number after seeing the damage.

Can you match my wall texture?

Yes. We match knockdown, orange peel, skip trowel, smooth, and the other Central Texas textures we see every week. We test the pattern on a sample board before applying it to your wall.

Why do my walls keep cracking in the same spots?

Clay soil. Williamson County's expansive clay shifts with moisture changes. The cracks follow stress points, typically around door frames, window corners, and where walls meet ceilings. Proper repair with fiberglass mesh tape helps the fix move with the wall instead of cracking again.

How do I know if a drywall crack is serious?

Hairline cracks around door frames and ceiling joints are normal in this area. If the crack is wider than a quarter inch, recurring after proper repair, or accompanied by doors that won't close and visible foundation movement, that could signal something deeper. We'll tell you straight if it needs a foundation specialist.

Do you paint after the drywall repair?

We prep every repair for paint — sanded smooth, primed, and ready. If you have the matching paint on hand, we'll apply it. If not, we can match the color and include painting in the scope.

Why This Matters

Williamson County sits on clay soil. When it rains, the clay expands. When it dries — and in a Central Texas summer, it dries hard and fast — the clay contracts. Your foundation shifts with it. That movement travels up through the framing and shows up as cracks in your drywall.

It’s not a sign your house is falling apart. It’s a sign you live in Central Texas.

But here’s what most handymen get wrong: they spackle over the crack and call it done. Six months later, the crack is back — because the spackle has zero flexibility, and the soil didn’t stop moving.

That’s a patch job. Your home deserves a real repair.

Nail pops are the other constant. The framing lumber dries and shrinks over the first few years after construction. Drywall nails get pushed out. Homes built in the last 5-10 years across Georgetown, Leander, and Liberty Hill are especially prone.

Water damage is the third culprit. A roof leak, a slow pipe drip. By the time you see the stain on the ceiling, the sheetrock behind it may already be soft and crumbling.

Our Approach

For cracks caused by foundation movement: We cut a clean V-groove along the crack, apply fiberglass mesh tape — not paper tape — then skim with multiple thin coats of joint compound. Each coat gets sanded smooth. The result flexes with your home instead of cracking again.

For holes and impact damage: Small holes get a proper backing and compound fill. Larger holes get a new piece of drywall cut to fit, taped, and mudded smooth.

For water damage: First, we make sure the water source is fixed. Then we cut out the damaged section, check the framing for mold or rot, replace the drywall, and finish it clean.

For texture matching: This is where most repairs fall apart. Your walls have a texture — knockdown, orange peel, skip trowel, smooth. We match it. We bring sample boards and test the texture before applying it to your wall. When we’re done, you shouldn’t be able to find the repair.

The Workshop Advantage

When drywall damage involves more than just sheetrock — a rotted section of framing behind the wall, a custom piece of trim that needs replacing after the repair, a built-in shelf that was damaged — we handle all of it. The drywall gets fixed, the framing gets repaired, and the trim gets custom-milled in our shop to match. One crew. One call.
