Why does most drywall repair cost over $500?
Thirteen of the 19 drywall repairs cost $500 or more. In most of them, we cut out damaged drywall and put in a new piece. Then we taped and finished it and blended the texture to match the wall.
The finish is a big part of the price. One $654.50 job only finished the seams and texture around three patches that were already in place. A Houston repair of two patches around existing plumbing cost $689.
The top price, $2,262.35, repaired drywall cracks across several rooms.
What did the smallest drywall repairs cover?
The two smallest drywall repairs cost $251.75 and $366.50. The first patched two small ceiling holes and textured them. The second patched a 32-by-14-inch wall opening in Tomball and matched the texture.
Closing two old ceiling vent openings cost $495.25. That job added insulation above the patches and blended the ceiling texture.
What does a garage ceiling drywall repair cost?
Two garage ceiling repairs cost $793 and $2,055. The $793 job repaired one damaged opening with broken edges and left out paint. The $2,055 job replaced six drywall sheets around the garage door tracks and opener.
On the larger job, the new sheets were $1,200, and taping and mudding the seams was $450. Materials were $230, and hauling off the old drywall was $175. The ceiling was left unfinished and ready for paint.
What should you send for an accurate drywall quote?
Send a close-up and a wide photo of each damaged area. These details moved the prices most:
- The size of each area. The $366.50 Tomball patch covered a 32-by-14-inch opening.
- Wall or ceiling. Ceiling repairs in this guide ran from $251.75 to $2,055.
- The texture you have. Most of these jobs matched or blended the existing texture.
- Whether you want paint. Only a few of these jobs included paint, so ask for it if you want it.

Questions about DFW and Houston drywall repair prices
About these prices
This guide uses 19 completed jobs from Smart Fix job and invoice records, pulled on October 20, 2026. Each price is the full job total from its invoices, including parts and tax we charged, after discounts and credits. A visit with several tasks counts as one job. We left out assessment-only visits and any job whose total did not match its invoices.
The median is the middle price once all 19 are sorted, so one large project cannot pull it up the way it pulls up the average. Dates use the day work started. Cities follow the job address. Customer details stay private. These are past prices for real jobs, not a quote.
