What to expect.
A drywall patch is the job most people put off longest and regret least once it is done. Ken handles the small and medium repairs that painters will not touch and contractors will not schedule: doorknob holes, the ghost of an old TV mount, a corner the dog found, a water stain from a fixed leak.
Small holes under two inches get a mesh patch, two coats of compound, and a sand. Anything bigger gets a California patch or a backed square of new drywall, taped and feathered so the seam disappears. Ken matches the texture, whether it is smooth, orange peel, or knockdown, and leaves the patch primed and paint-ready.
Most patches are done in one visit of about 90 minutes. Larger repairs that need drying time between coats are scheduled as two short visits so the finish is right.

Questions homeowners ask before booking.
Can you match my wall texture?
Yes. Ken matches smooth, orange peel, and knockdown textures. Heavy hand textures are harder to hide perfectly, and he will tell you what to expect during the estimate.
Will you paint the patch?
Every patch is primed and paint-ready. If you have the wall color on hand, Ken can roll the patch as an add-on. For an exact match on a large area, painting the full wall is the honest answer.
How long does a drywall patch take?
Small holes are done in about 90 minutes including drying time for lightweight compound. Patches bigger than a dinner plate are usually two short visits so the compound can cure between coats.
What does drywall repair cost in Louisville?
Estimates are free. The $85 service fee covers the trip, and most single-patch jobs fall in the one-hour to 90-minute range. Multiple patches in one visit are cheaper per patch, so bundle them.
