Life happens. Drywall gets dented, cracked, soaked, or poorly patched. Whether it’s a hole from a TV mount, seams that split open, or water damage that needs replacing, we bring the skills to make it look like nothing ever happened.
At Colin Can Help, wall repair isn’t just patching—it’s about restoring the space so it feels clean, solid, and stress-free again. We cut out the damage, patch it properly, and repaint so the repair disappears into the wall.
Whether you’re moving out, getting ready to sell, or just tired of looking at the damage—we’ll make it simple, fast, and done right.

Wall Repair Options:

Wallpaper Removal
We remove old or outdated wallpaper cleanly and prep the surface for a smooth, paint-ready finish—no gouges, glue mess, or stress.
Small Hole Patching
We fix nail holes, screw pops, and anchor damage so cleanly you'll forget they were ever there.
Water Damage Repair
From stains to soft spots, we cut out the ruined drywall and restore it with a clean, paint-ready finish.
Corner & Seam Fixes
Loose tape? Crooked corners? We realign, re-mud, and make it sharp again.
Door Handle & Impact Damage
We fix those classic dents behind doors and high-traffic scuffs that make a room feel worn out.
Our Repair Process:

Diagnosis
We begin by inspecting the damaged area to understand the root cause — whether it’s water damage, settling, old repairs, or simple wear and tear. This ensures we fix the problem, not just the surface.
Prep & Protection
Next, we prep the workspace by removing loose debris, protecting nearby surfaces, and ensuring good ventilation. Clean edges and a safe, controlled work zone set the stage for a seamless repair.
Structural Patching
Using mesh tape, corner bead, or backer boards as needed, we rebuild the damaged section to match the wall’s structure. This foundational step ensures long-term durability — not just a quick cosmetic fix.
Layering & Blending
We apply multiple thin coats of joint compound, carefully feathering the edges to blend with surrounding surfaces. Dry time and sanding between coats give a smooth, paint-ready finish.
Finish Ready
Once the patch is seamless, we prime the area to prevent flashing and ensure uniform paint coverage. If we’re painting too, this step blends the repair invisibly into the room.
