Drywall Repair in Upper St. Clair & the South Hills
Most drywall damage in Upper St. Clair homes is small and fixable in a single visit: a doorknob hole in a hallway, hairline cracks above a window, nail pops along a ceiling seam, or a soft patch under an old bathroom leak. I cut back to solid board, patch, tape, and feather the compound so the repair disappears under paint instead of leaving a visible bump.
What this covers
- Doorknob and furniture holes
- Settling cracks at corners, doors and windows
- Nail pops and popped screws along seams
- Water-damaged sections cut out and replaced
- Texture matching on knockdown and orange peel walls
- Patch sanded and primed, ready for your paint
What I don't do
- Full-room or whole-house drywall hanging
- Repairs where the water source is still leaking (fix the leak first)
- Structural or fire-rated assemblies requiring a permit
When a job needs a licensed specialist, I'll tell you straight instead of guessing.

Drywall Repair questions
- Can you match the texture on my walls?
- Yes for the common textures in South Hills homes — knockdown, orange peel, and light hand texture. Heavy custom or plaster textures I will look at first and tell you honestly if the patch will show.
- Do you paint the patch too?
- I prime the patch so it's ready for paint, and I can put your paint on it if you have the color on hand. Full-wall repainting is a separate job.
- How long does a drywall patch take?
- A single small patch is usually one visit. Larger repairs need drying time between compound coats, so plan on two short visits a day or two apart.
