What drives the cost
Drywall pricing comes down to size of the damage, texture match (a smooth wall is easy; matching knockdown or orange-peel and blending paint is the real skill), wall vs. ceiling (ceilings take longer and are harder to match), and whether water or mold is involved — wet board has to come out, the cause fixed first, and the area dried before new board goes in. A clean patch that disappears is mostly prep and finish work, not the drywall itself.
Fix the cause before the wall
If the drywall is stained, soft, or bubbling, the board is the symptom — find the source first. A roof leak, a plumbing leak behind the wall, or a failed window seal will ruin a fresh patch in weeks, and a roof or plumbing repair is a licensed-trade job, not handyman work. We’ll patch and finish the drywall so it looks like nothing happened, but we’ll tell you straight if there’s a leak to fix first and point you to the right licensed pro. Get the water handled, then we make the wall perfect.
When a job legally needs a licensed contractor
Drywall repair, patching, texture and paint are license-exempt handyman work under Florida HB 735 — we do this every week across Broward. What needs a licensed contractor is the cause when it’s a wet wall: plumbing, roofing, or HVAC leaks. We handle the drywall and finish; we refer the licensed-trade fix and tell you straight which is which. Check any specific job free on our Do I Need a License? tool.
Frequently asked
How much does it cost to fix a hole in the wall in Broward?
About $100–$250 for a small hole or crack and $150–$350 for a medium hole, including texture match and paint. Larger sections run $300–$700. Most crews have a $95–$150 minimum.
Why is water-damaged drywall more expensive to repair?
The wet board must be removed, the area checked for mold and dried, and the cause fixed first — and a plumbing or roof leak is a licensed-trade repair. Then new board, texture and paint go in.
Do you match texture and paint so the patch disappears?
Yes — matching knockdown or orange-peel texture and blending the paint is what makes a patch invisible. It’s most of the skill in a good drywall repair.
Is drywall repair a licensed job in Florida?
No — drywall patching, texture and paint are license-exempt handyman work under Florida HB 735. The underlying cause of water damage (plumbing, roof) may need a licensed contractor.
