Drywall Damage We Fix in Bothell Homes
From minor nail holes to major water damage - we've seen it all and fixed it all
Small Holes & Nail Pops
Those annoying little holes from picture hanging, nail pops from house settling, or small dings from furniture. These are bread-and-butter repairs that I can knock out quickly and affordably.
Just last month, I fixed 12 nail pops in a Bothell home near Beaver Lake. The homeowner was amazed - she said 'I can't even tell where they were!' That's exactly what you want to hear after a drywall repair.
Typical cost: From $125 per repair
Time to complete: 2-4 hours including paint
Medium to Large Holes
Doorknob holes, accidental damage, or holes from removing fixtures. These require more skill to patch properly, but when done right, they disappear completely.
I remember a Bothell family whose teenagers accidentally put a basketball-sized hole in their family room wall. The parents were devastated, thinking they'd need major work. Three hours later, you couldn't tell anything had happened - they were thrilled!
Typical cost: From $225 per hole
Time to complete: Half day with painting
Water Damage Repair
Roof leaks, plumbing issues, or appliance failures can cause extensive drywall damage. The key is addressing both the damage and any underlying moisture issues.
One of my most challenging projects was water damage from a burst pipe in a Bothell home's master bedroom. Half the ceiling needed replacement. But after proper repair, priming, and painting, the room looked better than before the damage occurred.
Typical cost: From $450 per damaged area
Time to complete: 1-2 days depending on extent
Cracks & Settlement Damage
Bothell's soil conditions can cause houses to settle, creating cracks in drywall. These need special attention to prevent them from returning.
I've fixed cracks in several homes in the Bothell Highlands area where the clay soil causes slight settling. The trick is using flexible compounds and understanding why the crack happened in the first place.
Typical cost: From $175 per crack
Time to complete: 3-5 hours with painting
Texture Matching & Painting
The hardest part isn't the repair - it's making the repair invisible by perfectly matching the existing texture and paint. This is where experience really shows.
Texture matching is an art form. I keep samples of common Bothell home textures because builders often used similar patterns. Getting the texture right makes the difference between a professional job and an obvious patch.
Typical cost: Included with repair
Time to complete: Part of overall repair process
Electrical/Plumbing Cutouts
After electrical or plumbing work, walls often need patching where access holes were cut. These repairs require precision to restore the wall's integrity.
Recently worked with an electrician in Bothell who needed to run new wiring. We coordinated perfectly - he did his work, I restored the walls, and the homeowner couldn't tell any work had been done.
Typical cost: From $195 per cutout
Time to complete: 4-6 hours including paint
Our Proven Drywall Repair Process
Perfected through hundreds of successful repairs in Bothell homes
Damage Assessment & Preparation
I start by thoroughly examining the damage and surrounding area. Is it just surface damage or deeper? Are there underlying issues? I also check for moisture, mold, or structural concerns that need addressing first.
Then I protect your furniture and floors with proper coverings. Nothing worse than getting your repair perfect but damaging something else in the process!
Cutting & Fitting the Patch
For holes, I cut clean, precise edges and measure for the perfect patch. I use backing material when needed and ensure the patch sits flush with the existing wall. This step determines how invisible the final repair will be.
For cracks, I clean out any loose material and sometimes widen the crack slightly to ensure the compound adheres properly.
Compound Application & Sanding
This is where the magic happens! I apply joint compound in thin, even coats, feathering the edges so there's no visible transition. Usually takes 2-3 coats with sanding between each.
Each coat needs to dry completely - rushing this step always leads to problems later. Patience here pays off in the final result.
Texture Matching
Now I recreate the existing wall texture. Whether it's orange peel, knockdown, or smooth, I match it exactly. This often requires custom techniques I've developed over years of practice.
I keep a variety of tools and techniques ready because Bothell homes have many different texture styles depending on when they were built.
Priming & Paint Matching
Quality primer is essential - it seals the repair and ensures even paint coverage. Then I match your existing paint color. Sometimes I need to paint the entire wall for a perfect blend, especially with older paint.
The final step is applying paint with the same sheen and technique as the original. Two coats minimum for durability and even coverage.
Final Inspection & Cleanup
I do a thorough inspection under different lighting conditions to ensure the repair is truly invisible. Any touch-ups needed are done immediately.
Complete cleanup follows - I leave your home cleaner than when I arrived. The only evidence of my work should be the perfectly repaired wall!

Common Drywall Questions from Bothell Homeowners
Answers based on years of local experience and hundreds of successful repairs
The secret is in the details! I feather the compound edges far beyond the actual damage, use multiple thin coats instead of one thick one, and sand between each coat. Most importantly, I perfectly match the existing texture before painting. I've developed techniques over 9+ years that make repairs truly invisible.
In most cases, yes! I bring paint samples to match on-site, and I have relationships with local paint stores for custom matching. For older paint that's faded, I sometimes recommend painting the entire wall for the best result. I always discuss options and get your approval before proceeding.
Great question! Bothell's humidity does slow drying times. I plan for this by using quick-setting compounds when appropriate and bringing portable fans to speed the process. Most repairs still complete in one day, but I never rush - proper drying is crucial for long-lasting results.
Absolutely! Every drywall repair comes with a 1-year warranty covering both the repair work and paint. If anything cracks, peels, or becomes visible within that time, I'll fix it at no charge. In 9+ years, I've had very few warranty calls because I do the job right the first time.

Expert Drywall Tips for Bothell Homeowners
Professional insights to help you maintain your walls and spot problems early
🔍 Early Problem Detection
I always tell Bothell homeowners to do seasonal wall inspections. Look for nail pops in spring (after heating season), check for cracks after heavy rains, and watch for water stains after any plumbing or roof work.
Catching problems early saves money and prevents larger damage. A small crack today can become a major repair if left untreated through several seasonal cycles.
💧 Moisture Management
With Lake Bothell nearby, moisture is always a concern. Use exhaust fans religiously in bathrooms and kitchens. If you see any water stains on walls or ceilings, address the source immediately - drywall damage from moisture only gets worse over time.
I've seen small leaks turn into major drywall replacements because they weren't caught early. Prevention is always cheaper than repair!
🎨 Paint Touch-Up Strategy
Keep leftover paint from any room painting for touch-ups. Store it properly (cool, dry place) and it'll be good for years. When you do minor wall repairs, having matching paint makes the job much easier and less expensive.
Also, take photos of your paint colors and sheen types. This helps enormously when we need to match paint for repairs years later.
🏠 When to Call Professionals
Small nail holes? You might DIY those. But anything larger than a quarter, any water damage, or cracks that keep returning - call a professional. Poor repairs are often more expensive to fix than doing it right the first time.
I've fixed many "DIY disasters" over the years. Sometimes trying to save money upfront costs much more in the long run.
