Drywall & Sheetrock Repair

How We Prepare
Prep is where the hours go and where the finish lasts. Here is the sequence for drywall & sheetrock repair.
- 01Cut out damaged drywall to clean, square edges
- 02Install backing or a patch panel for larger holes
- 03Tape seams with paper or fiberglass mesh tape
- 04Apply joint compound in three coats — taping, filling, and skimming
- 05Sand each coat smooth once dry
- 06Match the surrounding texture — knockdown, orange peel, or hand texture
- 07Prime the repaired area with a PVA primer to seal the compound
What Drives The Price
Every estimate is different. These are the factors that move the number on a drywall & sheetrock repair project.
| Factor |
|---|
| Size and number of repair areas |
| Type of damage — crack, hole, water damage |
| Whether the damage is on a wall or ceiling |
| Texture type and matching difficulty |
| Whether the area needs painting after repair |
| Access — ceiling height, behind fixtures |
| Number of coats of compound needed |
No dollar figures here — every project is different. Call for a real number.
On DFW Properties
Blackland Prairie clay soil across the eastern DFW metroplex shrinks in drought and swells after rain, driving movement cracks in drywall — especially at door frames, window corners, and ceiling joints.
Many 1950s–60s Haltom City and East Fort Worth homes have plaster or early drywall that requires different repair techniques than modern drywall.
Spring hail and wind storms in DFW cause ceiling and wall damage from leaks and impacts that need repair before painting.
How To Compare Estimates
Not all estimates cover the same work. Here is what to check when comparing bids for drywall & sheetrock repair.
| Whether the repair includes texture matching |
| What type of compound and tape are used |
| Whether primer is included |
| Whether painting the repaired area is included or separate |
| How many coats of compound are applied |
| How the surrounding area is protected |
| What is excluded |
| How long the repair takes to dry and cure |
Common Questions
Yes. We match knockdown, orange peel, and hand-troweled textures. We spray or apply texture to the repaired area, then feather it into the surrounding wall so the patch blends. Texture matching is included in the repair scope.
Reviews
"Very impressed with this company. It is a family. They all play a role. They came to our house to make a bid. I had a price that evening. Once we decided on Cast Castro, we set a date (literally 2 days later!). They arrived on time. They worked as a team, were very professional and meticulous, kept the house as clean as possible, and finished when promised."

"Happy with the professional work Cast Castro did for our exterior paint job and for the right price. They replaced rotted wood, meticulously prepped the house and painted samples on parts of the house to get an idea of the finished work. Cast Castro is thorough in their process."
