Premium drywall repair done right the first time
Drywall repair has to happen before paint, not after — otherwise the patch shows through and the whole job looks amateur. PaintLux includes drywall repair in most paint projects, and also takes on standalone repair jobs across Houston.
Nail pops, settling cracks, doorknob holes, water-damaged ceilings, and texture-matching on knockdown or orange-peel walls — we handle all of it, then prime the patch so it disappears under paint.
What's included
- Nail pops and screw pops re-set
- Settlement cracks taped and finished
- Holes from 1" to 4'×4' patched
- Water-damaged drywall removed and replaced
- Texture matching: smooth, orange peel, knockdown, skip trowel
- Primer over every repair before paint
Our process

Inspection
We walk the house, mark every repair, and quote each one — no guessing, no surprises.

Repair
Cut, patch, tape, mud, sand. Multiple coats of joint compound where needed.
- Step 3
Texture match
Spray or hand-applied texture to match the existing wall or ceiling pattern.
- Step 4

Primer over every repair, then paint to feather in. The patch disappears.
Drywall Repair FAQs
Do painters repair drywall before painting?+
Good ones do. PaintLux includes minor drywall repair (nail pops, small cracks, dings) in most paint projects. Larger repairs and texture matching are quoted as line items at the estimate.
Can you match knockdown and orange peel texture?+
Yes. Texture matching is a core skill on our crews — we spray-test on a scrap before touching your wall.
How long does drywall repair take?+
A single small patch is one visit. Multiple repairs across a home typically take 1–3 days because joint compound needs to dry between coats.
Do you replace water-damaged drywall?+
Yes — we cut out damaged sheets, replace them, re-tape, finish, and texture-match. If there's an active leak, you'll need a plumber or roofer first.
