What affects the price
When you get a quote for drywall work, the final number depends on a few specific things. The total square footage of the area is usually the biggest factor, but the condition of your current walls matters just as much. If there is significant water damage, mold, or complex electrical rerouting behind the panels, labor time increases. Access to the space, ceiling height, and the level of finish you want—like smooth versus textured—also play a role. Exact pricing confirmed free on the call.
About this service
A pole sander is a tool with an extended handle used to smooth out joints and patches high up on walls or across ceilings. You need this when preparing a room for paint to ensure the surface is perfectly flat. It saves you from needing a ladder for every spot, though it takes a steady hand to avoid gouging the paper. The size of the room usually dictates the labor time. Exact pricing confirmed free on the call.

What are the options for drywall hole repair?
The method for repairing a drywall hole depends on its size. For small holes, like nail pops or minor dents, spackling compound applied with a putty knife, followed by sanding, is usually sufficient. For larger holes, a drywall patch kit (mesh or metal) or a piece of new drywall cut to fit the opening and secured with backing material is used. The edges of the patch are then taped and coated with multiple layers of joint compound, feathered out to match the surrounding wall.
