Drywall Repair in Los Angeles
Cracks, holes, water stains and popped nails are the most common repairs we handle across Los Angeles — and seamless drywall work is exactly what Eddie Fixes LA does best. With more than 20 years of hands-on experience, Eddie repairs walls and ceilings so the patch disappears completely: matched texture, blended paint and a spotless job site when we leave.
Whether it is a single doorknob hole in a Santa Monica condo or settling cracks throughout a Pasadena bungalow, you get one insured craftsman from quote to final coat — no outside crews, no mess and a fast, honest estimate.
What’s included
Hole & patch repair
Doorknob dents, fist-sized holes and large openings are cut, backed, patched and sanded flush with the wall.
Crack repair
Settling, stress and corner-bead cracks are fixed with mesh tape and proper feathering so they do not return.
Texture matching
Orange peel, knockdown, skip-trowel or smooth — new texture is blended into the old until it is invisible.
Nail pops & seams
Popped fasteners are reset and failed tape seams are re-taped, mudded and finished.
Water-damaged drywall
Stained or soft drywall is cut out, replaced, sealed with a stain-blocking primer and repainted.
Ceiling drywall repair
Cracked, sagging or previously patched ceilings are restored, including popcorn texture.
Paint to match
We prime and repaint the repair so the wall reads as one continuous, uniform surface.
Full clean-up
Dust is contained with plastic and drop cloths; we leave the room cleaner than we found it.

Common drywall problems we fix in Los Angeles
Los Angeles homes bring their own drywall challenges. Older bungalows and Spanish-style houses often mix lath-and-plaster with modern drywall, so patches have to bridge two very different surfaces. Seasonal settling and the occasional tremor open hairline cracks at door and window corners. Coastal humidity in Santa Monica, Venice and Marina del Rey can soften drywall behind bathrooms and exterior walls, while remodels and TV mounts leave behind holes that need clean, professional closing.
We repair all of it — from a single hairline crack to water-damaged sections that need cutting out and rebuilding. The goal is always the same: a finish that is structurally sound and completely invisible once the paint dries.
