01 · The system
Everything between the studs and the finish.
Seven layers stand between a framed wall and a finished room. We own every one of them, for a doorknob hole or a whole new building.

02 · What we do
More than patches.
The name comes from repairs. The same crews hang, tape, texture and finish whole rooms, remodels, tenant improvements and new construction. Hover or tap an icon.
Drywall Installation
Room additions, ADUs, garage conversions and new construction. We hang, tape, texture and finish, and hand the room back ready for paint.
Learn more →Texture Matching
Knockdown, orange peel, skip trowel, smooth. The patch is only finished when the texture reads as part of the original wall.
Learn more →Water Damage Repair
Saturated, stained or crumbling drywall cut out, sealed, replaced and re-textured. Fix the water source first; we coordinate with your plumber or roofer.
Learn more →Ceiling Repair
Water stains, sagging board, seam cracks and textured-ceiling blending. Ceilings are harder than walls, and they are what we do every day.
Learn more →Hole & Crack Repair
Doorknob holes, anchor damage, hairline and seam cracks, corner-bead damage. Closed, floated and matched so you have to know where to look.
Learn more →Tape & Mud
Seams taped, fasteners buried, corners set and three coats of compound feathered flat. The step that decides whether a wall looks built or finished.
Learn more →Remodel Drywall
Kitchens, baths, open-plan knock-throughs and whole-home remodels. We close up after your framer, electrician and plumber and never hold up the schedule.
Learn more →Commercial Drywall
Tenant improvements, retail build-outs, restaurant and hospitality drywall. Soffits, bulkheads, furred walls, punch-out. After-hours work available.
Learn more →Level 5 Finish
A full skim coat over the entire surface for critical light, gloss paint and architectural walls. Specified finishes delivered to spec.
Learn more →Popcorn Ceiling Removal
Scrape, skim-coat, sand and finish smooth with full dust containment. Pre-1980 ceilings are tested first and handled carefully.
Learn more →Plaster Repair
Lath-and-plaster walls in older Sonoma and Bay Area homes, repaired with drywall compound rather than traditional plaster. It bonds hard and, once textured and painted, reads as the original wall.

Go ahead.
Go ahead.
Patch it.
Move across the damage. Backing, patch, tape, three coats of compound, then texture. That is the whole job, and it is why you have to know where the hole was to find it.
That's what we do.

Move across the hole
04 · Inside the wall
What you don't see matters.
A great drywall job disappears into the finished room. Under that smooth surface are set fasteners, taped seams that move with the house, three feathered coats of compound and a texture that matches what was there. Get any one of them wrong and the wall tells on you under the first coat of paint.

Before you ask.
A patch is a patch. We would rather set the expectation up front than surprise you on site.
How fast can you repair drywall?
Most small residential repairs, a doorknob hole, a ceiling stain, a patch or two, are finished in one day once we are on site. Larger jobs are scheduled by scope. Our name is about how fast the repair itself goes, not how soon we can get to you: we book by availability and give you a firm date up front rather than a promise we cannot keep.
Can you match existing texture?
Yes. Texture matching is the single most important part of a great drywall repair. We match knockdown, orange peel, smooth, skip trowel, popcorn and custom textures. Done right, the repair is nearly invisible once it is painted.
Do you handle water damage and stained ceilings?
Yes. We cut out damaged drywall, apply stain-blocking primer, install new drywall, tape and texture, and leave it paint-ready. If there is active moisture we flag it so the source can be addressed first, otherwise the stain comes right back.
Do you repair lath-and-plaster walls?
Yes. One thing worth knowing up front: we repair plaster using drywall compound rather than traditional plaster. We match the surrounding surface so it looks like plaster once it is textured and painted, but the material we use is drywall mud. It bonds hard and holds up, and most people cannot tell the difference.
Do you do whole rooms and new construction, or only patches?
Both. The name comes from repairs, but the same crews hang, tape, texture and finish room additions, ADUs, garage conversions, remodels, tenant improvements and new builds across Sonoma, Napa, Marin and San Francisco.
How much does drywall repair cost?
Residential repairs vary widely with size and complexity. A single hole patch, a ceiling water stain and a full-room install are three very different jobs. We quote firm prices before starting, with no day-of surprises. Send a photo for the fastest quote.
