Drywall repair in Orlando
The hole the doorknob made, the dents from moving day, the crack over the doorway, the old patch someone left lumpy. I patch it, match the texture as closely as the wall allows, and leave it ready for paint, or paint it too.

How a drywall repair usually goes
Send me a photo with something in it for scale: your hand, a tape measure or a credit card. That tells me most of what I need to price it.
Small patches can often be finished in one visit. Bigger repairs need each coat of compound to dry before the next, so they may take a second short visit. I'll tell you which when I give you the price.
Texture matching gets close, and once the wall is painted the repair usually disappears. If your wall has an unusual texture that's hard to match, I'll say so before we start. If you still have the paint from that room, keep it out; it's the easiest way to get a perfect color match.
If the damage came from a leak
The leak has to be fixed first, by a plumber or a roofer, and the wall has to dry out. Once that's done I can repair the drywall. And if a crack keeps coming back or is getting wider, it can be a sign of something structural. I'll tell you if I think that's what's going on.
Questions
Can you match my wall texture?
Usually close enough that the repair disappears once it's painted. Orange peel and knockdown are the textures I see most. If your wall has an unusual texture, I'll say so before we start.
Will I need to repaint the whole wall?
Not always. If you still have the paint from that room, a touch-up often blends in. Older or faded paint can mean painting the wall corner to corner so it matches. I'll tell you which when I price it.
Can you fix drywall damaged by a leak?
Yes, once the leak itself has been fixed by a licensed plumber or roofer and the wall has dried out.
