What Does Drywall Repair Cost in Central Texas? (2026 Guide)

The most common question we get is some version of "what is this going to cost me?" Fair question. Here are the real ranges we quote across Central Texas in 2026, and what moves a job from one end of the range to the other.

Typical price ranges

Small patches (nail pops, doorknob holes, hairline cracks): usually $150–$300 including texture matching and paint touch-up. Medium repairs (fist-sized holes to a few square feet, water stains on a ceiling): $300–$600 depending on texture and paint scope. Large repairs (full panel replacement, water-damaged ceilings, multiple rooms): quoted per project — most land between $600 and $2,500.

What actually drives the price

Three things: texture matching (a slick wall is faster than matching 40-year-old knockdown), paint scope (touch-up vs. repainting the whole wall for a perfect blend), and access (vaulted ceilings and stairwells take staging). Water damage adds drying and occasionally board replacement beyond what is visible.
