Common questions about costs and estimates for this service.
For large drywall repair jobs, contractors often quote between $300 to $600 for walls, or around $440 to $1,520 for ceilings, factoring in materials and labor. For very large holes, pricing can be $50–$75 per square foot.
A mid-range drywall repair, typically costing $15–$30 per square foot, usually includes repairs for medium-sized holes or multiple small damages, and covers taping, mudding, and sanding to prepare the surface.
Yes, priming is often an additional service. While some premium repairs might include it, for a standard repair that includes taping, mudding, and sanding, adding priming (e.g., an additional $200 for a ceiling) is a common practice to ensure a paint-ready finish.
For a small patch of this size, including mudding and texture, a fair price would generally be in the range of $200–$250, considering material costs (around $52) and 2–3 hours of labor at $45/hr–$75/hr.
For small repairs, it's advisable to factor in a minimum job fee to cover travel, setup, and initial assessment time. This ensures profitability even when the direct repair time for something like a dent ($10–$60) or nail hole ($50–$75) is minimal. Some contractors bundle these costs into a base service charge.
