For large indoor drywall repairs its important to monitor the AC filter periodically. Fine dust particles can be introduced to the AC duct system and clog your filter faster than usual. A good practice is to turn the AC off, and/or replace the AC filter at the end of the project.

Critical considerations when there is water damage

When repairing drywall damaged by water we always check moisture levels prior to proceeding with repairs. Very often we are called to repair drywall while the area is still wet. We use specialized instruments to measure presence of water and moisture. We evaluate environmental conditions and install temporary drying equipment when needed, then return to perform the repairs only after the area is dry.

In the pictures below you can see on the left and in dark blue a high moisture content in the drywall, a week later and after using drying equipment the wall is ready for repairs. By taking these steps we eliminated conditions that could have led to organic growth (possibly including mold and/or mildew) within the walls of the house.

How long does it take to repair drywall?

A drywall repair project can range from a one-day repair to several days. The variables include the size of the repair, indoor and outdoor weather conditions, location of the repair, framing, and type of texture.

How much does a typical drywall repair cost?

Drywall repairs cost varies widely since they depend on the size, location of the repair, elements behind the drywall, type of texture, and even weather conditions.

For some reference, small wall repairs start at $450 and ceiling repairs start at $550

Certain special cases may not require a drywall repair but a touch-up. These special cases can be repaired at a lower cost.

Can I lower my drywall repair cost?

A typical option to lower your drywall repair bill is to complete the project and exclude painting, if you feel comfortable taking this final step on your own.

Another option is to group several projects together, this would allow the technician to perform additional work while the repair dries, which may save the need for a return trip.

Should I repair my drywall myself?

If you are handy and have the patience some drywall repairs may be projects that you can pursue. You will need to buy certain tools that are unique to drywall, along with materials that usually come in large sizes.

When you factor in the time that you will invest in visits to the supply house, materials, your labor time, and the final results you might conclude that the job was actually more expensive that way.

Now if you plan on doing this periodically you can certainly explore it. There are plenty of videos online showing the basics of drywall repair.
