That kind of damage gets attention, but drywall doesn’t have to be completely destroyed to need fixing. Maybe it’s a small hole that’s been there for years, a crack that keeps coming back, or damage left behind after moving furniture or doing a project. Whatever the case, drywall problems have a way of standing out once you notice them.
That’s what Woods Handyman Service is here for. I provide professional drywall repair and patching services throughout Utah County and Salt Lake County, helping homeowners fix damaged drywall so walls and ceilings are solid, smooth, and ready for paint again. I handle a full range of drywall repairs — from small holes and cracks to larger damaged sections — and everything in between, with the goal of making the repair blend in and stay that way.
Professional Drywall Repair for Homes & Rentals
Drywall damage happens in all kinds of ways. Furniture bumps into walls, door handles get a little too close, houses settle, plumbing or electrical work leaves openings behind, or old patches start to crack and show again.
I work on drywall repairs for:
-
Owner-occupied homes
-
Rental properties
-
Townhomes and condos
-
Small commercial spaces
Whether it’s one spot that needs attention or several areas throughout the home, the approach is the same — figure out what’s going on, fix it properly, and leave it ready for the next step.
Common Drywall Repairs I Handle
Some of the more common drywall repairs I’m called out for include:
-
Nail holes and screw holes
-
Larger holes from furniture or door handles
-
Cracked seams and recurring stress cracks
-
Ceiling drywall damage
-
Drywall opened up for plumbing or electrical work
-
Water-damaged drywall once the source has been addressed
-
Old or poorly done patches that never blended in
These are just examples of what I see most often. If your drywall issue isn’t listed here, it doesn’t mean it can’t be repaired — it just means it’s worth taking a look at.
How Drywall Repair Is Done Right
Good drywall repair is more than filling a hole and sanding it flat. The repair needs to be solid underneath and blended properly so it doesn’t stand out once the wall is painted.
A typical drywall repair may involve:
-
Removing any loose or damaged drywall
-
Adding backing or support when needed
-
Applying joint compound in proper layers
-
Sanding between coats to keep things smooth
-
Final preparation so the surface is ready for paint
I take care to protect surrounding areas and keep the work clean while focusing on a finished result that looks natural.
Do You Paint After the Drywall Repair?
This is one of the most common questions I get. In most cases, drywall repairs are left ready for paint — smooth, feathered, and properly prepped.
If painting is part of the project, we can talk through options during the estimate so you know exactly what’s included and what comes next.
