Drywall Repair Done Right
St. Louis, MO

Holes, cracks, water stains, and popped seams — drywall damage is one of those things that’s easy to patch badly and hard to patch well. I repair and blend drywall so the fix disappears into the wall, not just covers it up. For St. Louis County’s older homes with real plaster walls, that same care applies — see Plaster Crack Repair below.

Why ESB for Drywall Repair

Anyone can fill a hole. Getting the texture close enough that it blends in once painted — that’s the harder part, and it’s what separates a real repair from a quick patch. Exact texture matching depends on the wall and the paint, but I always aim for as close to invisible as the job allows.

Plaster Crack Repair

Older St. Louis homes often have real plaster walls, not drywall — and plaster cracks, patches, and texture matching need a different approach entirely. I repair plaster cracks and small sections, matching the existing texture so the patch doesn’t stand out against decades-old walls.
