Services
One trade, done properly. Dr Handyman Service handles the full drywall repair sequence — demolition, board, tape, texture, primer and paint — so you are not coordinating three contractors for one hole.
Doorknob dings, furniture punctures, TV mount tear-outs and stud-to-stud damage. We cut back to solid framing, add backing where needed, then tape, float and finish.
Florida homes move. Recurring seam cracks and popped fasteners are opened up, refastened, retaped with mesh and setting compound, then floated so they stay closed.
Once the leak is stopped and the cavity is dry, we remove stained or sagging board, replace it, seal the area and rebuild the texture so no shadow line remains.
Matching is the difference between a repair you notice and one you don't. We sample your texture on a test board first, then reproduce it across the patch and feathered edge.
Popcorn ceiling patched to match, or the affected area smoothed and refinished when you would rather move away from the older texture.
Dented and split outside corners get new bead, fresh mud in coats and rebuilt texture so the edge is straight and durable again.
Openings left by plumbers, electricians and A/C techs closed up properly — insulation replaced, board fastened, taped flush and painted.
Most repairs include spot priming and paint. Full-wall or full-room repainting can be added so color and sheen match across the whole surface.

FAQ
Anything not covered here? Ask the Assistant — it answers drywall questions and can start an estimate in the same conversation.
Most small patches, nail pops, and single holes can often be handled in a single visit. Larger ceiling sections, water-damaged areas, or repairs that need multiple coats of compound usually need a second visit for sanding, texture, and paint so the finish cures properly.
Yes. We match knockdown, orange peel, skip trowel, smooth Level 5, and older popcorn ceiling textures. We test the texture on a sample board first so the repaired area blends with the surrounding surface instead of standing out under Florida daylight.
We repair the drywall once the source of the water is stopped and the cavity is dry. If the area is still wet or shows active mold, we will tell you plainly and recommend drying or remediation first rather than closing up a wall that will fail again.
Yes. Priming and painting the repaired area is part of most jobs. If you want a full wall or full room repainted for a seamless color match, we can include that in the estimate.
We mask off the work zone with plastic and drop cloths, use a vacuum-assisted sander where possible, and clean the area before we leave. Drywall dust is fine and travels, so containment is set up before any cutting or sanding starts.
