Which drywall repair do you need?
Most calls we get in Huntington fall into five buckets. A doorknob hole, a cracked corner, or a picture-hanger strip is drywall hole repair. A line running off a door frame or across a ceiling in an older house is drywall crack repair. A sag, stain, or bulge overhead is ceiling drywall repair, and if it is brown and soft it is water damaged drywall. If the existing wall has knockdown or orange peel, the patch also needs texture matching. Not sure which? Send a photo when you call and we will tell you.
How soon can we get there?
Drywall repair is not an emergency trade, but nobody wants to stare at a hole for a month. Most Huntington jobs are scheduled inside the same week, and small patches are often fitted around a larger job nearby in Highlawn, Westmoreland, or Barboursville. Water damage gets priority because wet gypsum grows mold fast in our humid Ohio Valley summers. Call 304-555-0142 with the size of the damage and we will give you a day.
Can a patch really be invisible?
Yes, if the person doing it finishes the whole sequence: cut a clean square, back it with a scrap or clip, tape it, three feathered coats of joint compound, sand, prime, texture if the wall has texture, and paint to a natural break. Skip any of those and you get the "flashing" you see on every rental in the Marshall neighborhoods. Our drywall patching and repair-and-paint services are built around finishing the sequence, not stopping at mud.
How our drywall repair pricing works
Drywall repair cost in Huntington comes down to four things: how many drywall patching jobs, how big, whether the wall is textured, and whether you want us to paint. We quote the whole job as one written number after seeing it, not an hourly rate that grows. The typical ranges are published on this page so you can sanity-check any estimate, ours included. A service call for a handful of small holes typically starts around $150 in the Huntington area. All figures on this site are estimates and subject to change; your written quote is the real number.
Why hire drywall contractors instead of a drywall handyman?
Searches for "drywall handyman" are some of the most common in our data, and handymen do fine on a single nail hole. Where it goes wrong is finishing: feathering a joint 12 to 16 inches wide, matching a 1990s knockdown texture, or opening a ceiling without cracking the plaster around it. A dedicated drywall contractor carries the hopper gun, the corner tools, the vacuum sander, and the reps to make the repair vanish. Same call, better wall.
More than patches: installation, finishing, and specialty work
The same crew that patches also hangs and finishes new board. That covers drywall installation for additions and remodels, taping and finishing for builders who only hang, plaster repair in Huntington’s pre-war homes, popcorn ceiling removal, basement and garage drywall, and commercial drywall repair for offices and storefronts downtown and along Route 60.
What Drywall Repair Typically Costs in Huntington
Most contractors will not say a number until they are standing in your house. These are typical starting points for the Tri-State, drawn from 2026 cost surveys (Angi, HomeAdvisor, HomeGuide, Homewyse) and Huntington-specific data, where small repairs average around $140 to $170 and a typical job lands near $500. Every job is priced individually, and your written estimate is free. Prices are subject to change.
Prices shown are estimates only and are subject to change without notice. They are research-based starting points, not a quote or an offer. Final price depends on size, access, texture, materials, and whether paint is included, and is confirmed in a written estimate before any work starts.

On the West Virginia side we cover Barboursville, Milton, Ona, and Hurricane along I-64, plus Ceredo and Kenova down Route 60. Across the river we work in Ashland, KY, and in Lawrence County, Ohio: Ironton, Proctorville, Chesapeake, and South Point.
What makes Huntington houses hard on drywall
Huntington was West Virginia’s largest city in 1950, so a huge share of its housing stock dates from 1900 to 1950. Those houses were built with plaster over wood lath, and later owners skinned rooms with drywall or patched plaster with it. Add hillside lots in Beverly Hills and Walnut Hills that settle, river humidity that swells framing every summer, and the occasional wet basement below the floodwall, and you get cracks, nail pops, and ceiling stains that a generic patch will not hold. We repair for the cause, not just the symptom.
Why Huntington homeowners and landlords use us
Because we show up when we say, quote one number, protect your floors and furniture, and leave a wall that does not need explaining. Landlords with student rentals near Marshall use our rental turnover service to get units patched and painted between leases in a day or two. Homeowners call us after a plumber or electrician has left holes behind. Builders call us to tape and finish. It is all drywall, and it is all we do.
What is drywall, and why does it fail?
Drywall, also called sheetrock or gypsum board, is a core of compressed gypsum between two sheets of paper. It is strong in compression but the paper face tears easily, the gypsum crumbles when wet, and the joints between sheets move whenever the framing behind them does. That is why the three most common repairs are impact holes, joint and corner cracks, and water damage. Plaster, the older cousin found in most pre-1950 Huntington homes, fails differently: it separates from the lath and falls in sheets. Knowing which one you have changes the repair, which is why we ask.
How we calculate your estimate
We count the patches, measure the largest, note the texture and the paint sheen, and check what is behind the damage. Then we price the job as a whole and put it in writing. If a repair turns out to need more than we quoted, for example a leak still running behind the ceiling, we stop and call you before adding anything. Call 304-555-0142 or send photos through the quote form and we will usually have a number back the same day.

Drywall Repair in Huntington: Questions We Get
How much does drywall repair cost in Huntington, WV?
Based on 2026 cost surveys and Huntington-area data, a service call for several nail holes or one doorknob hole typically starts around $150. Medium patches run roughly $200 to $400, large sections roughly $350 to $750, and ceiling water-damage repairs roughly $500 to $1,500. Texture matching and paint are quoted with the job. You get one written number before we start.
Do you repair plaster walls, or only drywall?
Both. Most Huntington houses built before 1950 have plaster over wood lath, and we repair it, re-adhere it to the lath, or replace failed sections with drywall blended flush to the old surface.
Can you match my knockdown or orange peel texture?
Yes. We carry a hopper gun and match knockdown, orange peel, and skip-trowel textures on the patch, then feather the texture into the surrounding wall so there is no visible edge.
How fast can you come out?
Most Huntington-area drywall repairs are scheduled within the week. Water damage is prioritized because wet gypsum grows mold quickly in Ohio Valley humidity.
Do you paint after the repair?
We prime every repair. Painting is an option on every job and we recommend painting to a natural break, such as a corner, so the color and sheen match. Our drywall repair and painting service covers both.
Which areas do you cover?
All of Huntington and Cabell County, Wayne County including Ceredo and Kenova, Barboursville, Milton, Ona, and Hurricane along I-64, Ashland, Kentucky, and Ironton, Proctorville, Chesapeake, and South Point in Lawrence County, Ohio.
