What locals actually pay to fix holes, cracks & water damage. Honest pricing from 15+ years of work in Osceola County.
Drywall repair costs depend on damage size, location, texture matching, and whether you need painting included. Here's what homeowners in Kissimmee, Orlando, and Central Florida actually pay for common drywall repairs—based on 15+ years of fixing walls in Osceola and Orange County.
Cost: $75-$150 per hole
Small holes—doorknob dings, small accidental punches, nail/screw holes—are quick fixes. We patch with mesh and joint compound, sand smooth, match texture, prime, and paint. Most single-hole repairs done same-day.
Cost: $150-$300 per hole
Large holes require cutting out damaged drywall, installing a backing board or new drywall piece, taping seams, applying multiple coats of joint compound, sanding, texture-matching, priming, and painting. Takes 1-2 days including drying time.
Cost: $50-$150 per crack or cluster of nail pops
Settling cracks and nail pops are common in Central Florida homes (humidity and temperature swings cause framing lumber to expand/contract). We cut out the crack or reset popped nails, tape if needed, mud, sand, texture, and paint.
Cost: $200-$600+ depending on extent
Water damage (roof leaks, AC condensation, plumbing leaks) often requires cutting out wet or moldy drywall, letting the area dry fully, installing new drywall, taping, mudding multiple coats, sanding, texture-matching, priming, and painting. Larger water damage jobs or ceiling repairs cost more. Critical: Fix the leak first—repairing drywall before stopping the water source means the problem returns.
Cost: $150-$400 per area
Ceiling repairs (water stains, cracks, sagging drywall, popcorn texture damage) cost more than wall repairs because working overhead is slower and messier. Texture-matching ceiling finishes (popcorn, knockdown, orange peel) adds time. Many Kissimmee homes have textured ceilings that need careful matching.
Cost: $300-$1,000+ depending on number and size
If you have multiple holes, cracks, or damage throughout a room or house, we often quote a flat rate rather than per-hole pricing. For example, fixing 5-10 small holes in one room might be $300-$500 total rather than $75 each. Saves you money and lets us work efficiently.
Small holes patch fast. Large holes require new drywall pieces, backing, and more coats of mud. Ceiling repairs cost more than walls because working overhead is slower. Corner damage (inside or outside corners) requires metal corner beads and careful finishing.
Most Kissimmee and Orlando homes have textured walls or ceilings—orange peel, knockdown, or popcorn. Matching existing texture takes skill and adds time. Smooth walls are easier to repair than textured. Popcorn ceilings are the most tedious because you have to scrape, repair, and re-spray texture.
Drywall repair cost often includes priming and painting the patched area. If you want the whole wall or room painted to blend the repair, that's extra. Spot-painting (just the repair) is cheaper but may not match perfectly if your existing paint has faded.
One hole costs $75-$150. Ten holes in the same room might be $400-$600 total (not $75 × 10) because we're already on-site with tools and materials. Bundling repairs saves money.
Our take: Drywall repair is one of those jobs that looks simple but requires skill to do well. Bad repairs show seams, texture mismatches, or paint differences. We've fixed plenty of DIY attempts that made things worse. If you're selling a home or refreshing a vacation rental, professional drywall repair is worth it—buyers and guests notice sloppy patches.
Central Florida humidity affects drywall. Water damage from roof leaks, AC condensation, and plumbing issues is common. Many Kissimmee homes were built in the 1980s-90s and have settled over time, causing cracks. Vacation rental owners near Disney need fast repairs between guest bookings.
We work in Kissimmee, Orlando, St. Cloud, Celebration, and Poinciana regularly. We know the common issues—stucco cracks causing interior drywall damage, AC drip pan overflows soaking ceilings, and settling cracks in older block construction homes.
Usually priming and spot-painting the repaired area is included. If you want the full wall or room painted to blend the repair, that's extra.
Small patches: same day. Large repairs: 1-2 days (includes drying time for mud and paint). Water damage: 2-5 days depending on extent and drying time needed before installing new drywall.
Yes. We match orange peel, knockdown, and even popcorn texture on Kissimmee and Orlando ceilings. Texture-matching adds time but is essential for repairs to blend seamlessly.
Small repairs: we work around furniture. Large repairs or multiple patches: moving furniture away from walls helps. We cover and protect everything with drop cloths.
Drywall repair costs $75-$150 for small holes, $150-$300 for large holes, $200-$600 for water damage, and $150-$400 for ceiling repairs. Price depends on damage size, texture matching, and whether painting is included. Multiple repairs in one visit save money.
