Drywall repair guide
Repair cost depends on more than the size of a hole. Board replacement, backing, working height, furniture protection, texture and paint boundaries all affect the scope. A useful quote separates the repair area from the finish area and explains what is included.
What to discuss before work starts
Ask whether primer, painting, texture matching, cleanup and return visits are included. A photo can help start the discussion, but hidden damage can change the scope after assessment.
Put the scope in writing
Confirm the affected surface, repair method, finish boundaries, room access and any separate work before scheduling. The condition of concealed material can change what is needed.
