What this covers

Scope of the work

  • Nail & pin holes

    Filled and sanded flush across the full affected area.

  • Anchor holes

    Crushed rims cut back, backed, and coated wide.

  • Doorknob strikes

    Round openings squared, backed, taped, and feathered.

  • Move-out walls

    Whole-wall passes rather than isolated spot dabs.

Patch layers

  • Cut & backing

    Square the opening, add solid backing behind the edges.

  • Drywall insert

    Fit a same-thickness board flush with the surrounding face.

  • Tape & bed

    Embed tape, then bed coat over the joint.

  • Fill & feather

    Two wider coats, each feathered past the last.

  • Texture & prep

    Match surrounding texture, sand, and dust for paint.

Questions

Frequently asked

Is filler alone enough for anchor holes?
For shallow nail holes, a filled and sanded coat is enough. Anchors leave a crushed rim, so the rim is cut back and the area is coated wide so it reads flat.
Can you patch many small holes at once?
Yes — walls left behind by gallery walls or mounted TVs are common. They are treated as one pass over the whole area rather than dozens of isolated dots.
Do patches need painting afterward?
Surfaces are left paint-ready. Painting is a separate step; see paint-ready prep for what is included.
