Drywall Repair in Gainesville, FL
Most drywall repairs fail at the finish. The patch holds, but the texture is wrong or the paint sheen flashes and the spot is obvious in daylight. Because HVR Painting does both the repair and the painting, the result is a wall that looks like nothing ever happened.

Drywall repair for Gainesville homes and rentals
Doorknob holes, anchor holes from TV mounts, cracks above doors and windows from the house settling, and ceiling stains from a roof or AC leak are the repairs we see most in Gainesville. Landlords call us between tenants for the same list plus damage from moved furniture. We take repair-only jobs and also bundle patches into room repaints, which is usually the most cost-effective way to handle a wall with several problems.
Water damage and ceiling repair done right
A water stain on a ceiling is a symptom. Before we patch anything we check for moisture and make sure the leak has been fixed. Soft or sagging drywall is cut out and replaced, not painted over. Once the area is dry and sound we tape, mud in coats, sand, and match the ceiling texture. Then a stain-blocking primer goes on, because ordinary paint will let the stain bleed back through within weeks.
Texture matching and paint that blends
Gainesville homes mostly have knockdown, orange peel, or smooth walls. We match each one by hand or with a hopper so the repaired area disappears into the wall. The patch is primed and then the wall is painted corner to corner where possible, since a spot-painted patch will flash under light even in the same color. The result is a wall you cannot pick the repair out of.

Drywall Repair we have done for our neighbors
Do you do small drywall repairs?
Yes. Small patches are often bundled with a room repaint, but we also take repair-only jobs.
Can you match my wall texture?
Yes. Knockdown, orange peel, and smooth are all common in Gainesville homes and we match each.
My ceiling has a water stain. Can you just paint over it?
Only after the leak is fixed and the drywall is dry and sound. Otherwise the stain comes back. We check and tell you which it is.
How long does drywall repair take?
Small patches are usually done in a day with paint. Larger repairs need drying time between coats of compound and run two to three days.
