Drywall Repair in Huntington, WV
Drywall repair is the core of what we do as drywall contractors in Huntington.

Drywall Hole Repair & Patching
A hole in drywall is the most common repair call we get in Huntington, and the one most often done badly. Doorknob punches, moving-day gouges, picture-hanger strips, a foot through the wall on the stairs, the square a plumber cut to reach a valve. Drywall Repair Huntington patches all of them so the wall reads as one surface, not a lighter square with a ridge around it.

Cracks are the repair Huntington houses are best at producing. Hillside lots in Beverly Hills and Walnut Hills settle, pre-war framing in Southside and Highlawn swells and shrinks with river humidity, and every joint between two sheets of drywall is a place the wall can move. The result is the diagonal crack off the corner of a door, the straight line across a ceiling, or the split running down an inside corner.
Learn more →Ceiling Drywall Repair
Drywall ceiling repair is harder than wall repair and it shows when it is done wrong. Gravity works against the compound, light rakes across ceilings from every window, and most Huntington ceilings carry a texture that has to be matched. Drywall Repair Huntington fixes sagging drywall ceilings, cracks, holes left by electricians and plumbers, nail pops, and stained sections, and finishes them so you stop looking up.
Learn more →Water Damaged Drywall Repair
Water and gypsum do not mix. A leak from the tub upstairs, a roof valley that let go in a storm, a window that has been weeping into the wall for years, a basement that took on water below the floodwall. Once drywall is wet it loses its strength, the paper face grows mold, and paint will never hide the stain. Drywall Repair Huntington cuts out water damaged drywall, confirms the cavity is dry, and replaces and finishes the section to match.
Learn more →Drywall Texture Matching & Patching
A perfect patch on a textured wall still looks like a patch if the texture is not matched. That is why "drywall repair and texture" is its own search in our Huntington data. Drywall Repair Huntington carries a hopper gun, texture rollers, and the knockdown knives to reproduce the finish on your walls and ceilings, then feathers the new texture into the old so there is no edge.

A patch is only the first step. Every drywall repair we do in Huntington follows the same sequence: cut the damage back to sound material, add backing or a clip so the patch cannot move, tape the seams, apply three coats of joint compound feathered 12 to 16 inches wide, sand with a vacuum sander, prime, match any texture, and paint to a natural break. Skip a step and you get the flashing, ridges, and off-color squares that make a repair obvious in raking light. We do not skip steps.
Drywall versus plaster: why it matters in Huntington
Most Huntington homes built before 1950, which is a large share of Southside, Highlawn, Westmoreland, and Guyandotte, have plaster over wood lath rather than drywall. Plaster cracks and detaches differently, and patching it with drywall compound alone fails within a season. We diagnose which system you have on the first visit and use plaster repair methods where the wall calls for it.
Small jobs are welcome
A lot of drywall contractors will not come out for one hole. We will. A service call, which typically starts around $150 in the Huntington area, covers a handful of nail holes, a single doorknob hole, or a small ceiling patch in one visit, and we batch small jobs across neighborhoods so a repair in Enslow Park or Altizer does not wait for a big project to justify the trip.
Drywall repair for landlords and property managers
Huntington has one of the highest rental shares of any city in West Virginia, much of it around Marshall University. Our rental turnover drywall repair service patches, textures, and paints a unit between leases in one or two days, with one invoice and photos of every wall.
Drywall Repair: what people ask
How much does drywall repair cost?
Typical Tri-State starting points: a service call for small holes around $150, medium patches roughly $200 to $400, large sections roughly $350 to $750, and ceiling water-damage repairs roughly $500 to $1,500. Every job gets one written estimate before work begins.
Will the repair be visible?
Not if the full sequence is done: backing, tape, three feathered coats, sanding, primer, texture, and paint to a break. That is our standard on every patch.
Do you repair sheetrock?
Yes. Sheetrock is a brand name for drywall, and every drywall repair service we offer applies to it.
