What is included
Prep, primer and coats: what drywall & texture repair includes
- Holes, cracks, water stains and nail pops repaired
- Texture matched — orange peel, knockdown, smooth or hand texture
- Ceiling repairs after a leak, once the leak itself has been fixed
- Popcorn ceiling removal and refinishing
- Corner bead repaired rather than filled over
- Repairs primed and painted so they disappear rather than showing as a patch
Drywall & Texture Repair: prep first, paint second
A drywall patch that is flat, sanded and unprimed will still show through the paint, because the patched area absorbs differently from the wall around it. Priming the repair before painting is what makes it disappear, and skipping it is why so many patches are visible in raking light.
Texture matching is the skill in this work. Orange peel, knockdown and hand textures all need the right mud consistency and the right technique, and a patch with the wrong texture is more obvious than the damage it replaced.

When Primer Is Actually Necessary
Primer is skipped more often than any other step in a paint job, usually because the can said it was built in. On the surfaces that need it, nothing built in will do.

Lead Paint in a Pre-1978 Nashville House
Most older paint is harmless while it stays on the wall. The hazard is the dust made when it is scraped, sanded or burned off, and the rules for painters exist because of it.

FAQ
Questions about drywall & texture repair, answered by painters
Can drywall damage just be painted over?
No. Paint does not fill a hole or hide a crack, and it makes a dent look worse by adding sheen. Damage is filled, sanded and primed before paint, and cracks that keep returning are taped rather than filled so the movement is bridged. A repair that is invisible after paint is one that was finished properly before it.
Why does the patch show through the paint?
Texture and sheen. A smooth patch on a textured wall stands out in raking light, and a patch primed differently from the wall around it absorbs paint differently and flashes. Matching the texture and priming the whole area — sometimes painting corner to corner — is what makes a repair disappear.
