Doorknob holes, settling cracks, water damage, and the marks left behind by shelves and anchors — repaired, texture-matched, and ready for paint. Small patches welcome.
A photo of the damage gets you the most accurate quote. We reply within 24 hours.
Doorknob holes, anchor and screw holes, dents, and the damage movers leave behind — cut, backed, mudded, and sanded flush.
Settling and seasonal cracks around doorways, windows, and ceilings, taped and feathered so they don't telegraph back through.
Stained, soft, or bubbled drywall from roof, window, or plumbing leaks — cut back to sound material and rebuilt. (Fix the leak first; we can help find it.)
Orange peel, knockdown, and smooth finishes blended into the surrounding wall so the repair disappears under paint.
Cracks and small holes in plaster-and-lath walls, common in older Oakland Craftsman and hills homes.Minor / in-scope · large failing plaster referred out
Patched areas primed and painted to blend — bring the original can if you have it, or we'll color-match.
Oakland's housing stock keeps a drywall repairer busy. Craftsman bungalows in Temescal, Rockridge, and the Laurel settle on their foundations and open hairline cracks over doorways. Hills homes in Montclair and above shift with the ground and the seasons, and moisture from leaks finds its way into ceilings and window returns. And every rented flat and duplex in the flats eventually needs move-out patching: anchor holes, TV-mount holes, and shelf marks, filled and touched up before the deposit walk-through.
We're based in Fruitvale, so this is home turf — we do drywall work across Grand Lake, Temescal, Rockridge, the Dimond and Laurel, Montclair, West Oakland, and East Oakland, plus Alameda, Berkeley, and Emeryville. Most repairs are one-visit jobs quoted from a photo, so you know the price before we knock on your door.

Snap the damage and send it with the form or by text. Size reference (a hand works) helps.
We reply within 24 hours with a fixed price and a timeline — no surprises later.
Cut, backed, mudded, textured, and sanded. Touch-up paint if you want it fully invisible.
It depends on the size of the damage and the finish. A small patch is a quick, affordable visit; larger water-damage repairs take more time and material. Send a photo of the damage and we'll quote it upfront — estimates are free and the price is set before work starts.
Yes. We match common Bay Area finishes — orange peel, knockdown, and smooth walls — so the patch disappears once it's painted. Texture matching is included in the repair, not an add-on.
Usually, yes. Many Oakland Craftsman bungalows and older homes have plaster-and-lath walls. We handle minor plaster repairs — cracks, small holes, loose sections — and will tell you honestly if a wall needs a plaster specialist instead.
Most small patches are done in one visit, with a short return visit if the mud needs a second coat and sanding after drying. We'll give you the timeline with the quote so you can plan around it.
Yes — we can prime and touch-up paint the patched area so it blends in. If you have the original paint, that gives the best match; otherwise we can color-match a sample.
The whole honey-do list — one visit, one upfront price.
