🛠️ What Affects the Cost of Drywall Repair?

1. Size of the Damage

Larger holes, multiple areas, or entire walls obviously require more time and material.

2. Location

Ceiling repairs or tight areas (like stairwells or behind fixtures) take longer and may need extra setup.

3. Prep & Finishing Needs

Does the area need priming, sanding, or skim coating to blend properly? Are we painting too? The more detailed the finish, the more labor is involved.

4. Material Costs

Mud, tape, screws, drywall sheets, and dust protection all add up—especially for water or mold-damaged areas.

5. Multiple Trades

If electrical, insulation, or framing is involved, we may coordinate other trades or complete light framing ourselves. This increases scope—and value.
