Last updated: September 24, 2026
What affects the price
When you are budgeting for drywall work, several factors determine the final bill. The total square footage is the biggest driver, but the complexity of the space matters just as much. High ceilings, intricate corners, and multiple levels require more labor and specialized equipment. If you need repairs, the size and depth of the hole, plus the difficulty of matching existing textures, change the scope. Materials like moisture-resistant board for bathrooms or fire-rated panels for garages also add to the budget. Exact pricing confirmed free on the call.
About this service
Spackle is a compound used to fill small holes, dents, or cracks in your drywall. It is the go-to solution for minor cosmetic issues, like nail holes from hanging pictures or small scuffs. You simply apply the paste, let it dry, and lightly sand it down until it is flush with the wall. While it works great for tiny repairs, larger holes or deep structural damage usually require professional drywall tape and joint compound to ensure the fix lasts.

What is PVA drywall primer and when is it used?
PVA primer is a specific type of primer designed for new drywall. Its primary purpose in Richardson homes is to seal the porous paper surface of the drywall and joint compound. This ensures that paint applied afterward will adhere evenly and not soak into the drywall unevenly, preventing blotchiness. It’s a crucial step before painting for a uniform finish. The pros always recommend it for new drywall installations.
