Frequently asked questions about Drywall Repair in Philadelphia

Prices for drywall repair begin at $50 per hour in Philadelphia. Your overall project cost will vary based on the size of the hole in your wall and how many holes are being patched and painted.

It depends on the size of the job. A small hole can take under an hour, while larger damage can take hours. It also depends on the type of incident that caused the damage, like if there was a leak causing the damage that can take longer since it will need to be dried out before fixing the drywall. Ask your Tasker to get an estimate.

Yes, with the right tools and know-how you can repair drywall yourself! However, if you're not comfortable tackling this job solo or simply don't want to purchase tools for a one-time repair, book a qualified drywall repair Tasker in Philadelphia instead.

To repair a small hole in drywall, first clean the area around the hole, then apply a small amount of drywall compound, and smooth it out with a putty knife. For larger holes, you may need a drywall patch or mesh tape. Once the repair is dry, you can sand the area and paint it over to match the rest of the wall.

  • Norma dabney R.Carlyle did a wonderful job and — with the time he had left over after quickly fixing our toilet, he even adjusted our central air conditioning. I will definitely use him again and again!Drywall Repair
  • Kristina L.Timely, professional and reliable. Would hire again! Drywall Repair
  • Sung W.Punctual, clean, fixed our ceiling very quickly. I wish I found him a lot sooner!Drywall Repair
  • Maralin B.Adam Aziz kept in touch, arrived on time, was kind and very conscientious about putting in our 2 window air conditioners. He made sure they were secure and checked our filters (one was awful) to make sure they would run efficiently. We had no idea exactly how the units had been securely installed over the years (there were some missing parts; I think our previous seasonal installers had improvised in securing the units but we were no help) but Adam didn't give up and was very professional. I think on new units with all the correct hardware it would have gone more smoothly and quickly, but we had not paid enough attention in recent years to give him any help. Thanks Adam.Drywall Repair
  • Caitlin K.Trevor did a great job and was very flexible to my schedule. No issues! Drywall Repair
  • Chelsea J.This was my first time using a TaskRabbit service, and I had a good experience. Adam was nice, respectful, and informative. He did a decent job installing my air conditioning unit and really helped me out during a heatwave! He also removed my other AC unit and placed it on the porch for me. The only thing I wish I hadn’t assumed was that he would have all the tools necessary to install or modify an AC unit for a row home. He made do with what we both had, but there are still a few things I need to take care of myself. It's not a big issue since I'm used to handling adjustments with my AC because of the window setup. Ultimately, I'm just happy to have cool air during this hot weather!Drywall Repair

What is drywall?

Drywall is a building material used for interior walls and ceilings. It's made out of gypsum, which is naturally fire-resistant, and serves as a way to reduce sound between rooms. Insulating drywall helps to regular temperature inside a home and is designed to withstand everyday wear and tear. However, that doesn't mean damage still can't happen.

How does drywall get damaged?

  • Small dents from impact

  • Removing nail heads, wall anchors, and screws

  • Leaks

  • Pets playing

  • Pests

  • Tile removal

  • HVAC, electrical, or plumbing repairs
