Professional Drywall & Plaster Repair That Makes Your Walls Look Like New
Damaged walls don’t just affect how your home looks — they impact how it feels. Whether it’s a small nail hole, water damage, a cracked seam, or a large hole in the drywall, wall imperfections can make even the cleanest homes feel unkempt or unfinished.
At Kovar Painting & Remodeling, we offer professional wall repair services that restore your walls to a flawless, paint-ready finish. Whether you’re prepping for a fresh coat of paint, renovating a room, or simply tired of looking at dents and cracks, our experienced team delivers fast, clean, and long-lasting results.
Why Wall Repair Matters
Many homeowners put off wall repairs, thinking they’re cosmetic or minor. But the truth is — wall damage often gets worse over time and can lead to more serious issues, especially if moisture, pests, or structural shifts are involved.
Common problems that we fix include:
- Holes (small to large)
- Cracks (from foundation settling or impact)
- Water damage
- Popped drywall nails or screws
- Peeling tape seams
- Uneven or wavy surfaces
- Dented corners
- Damage from electrical or plumbing work
- General wear and tear
Even if you plan to paint over it, unrepaired damage will still show through — or worse, lead to peeling, cracking paint and costly rework. That’s why a smooth, properly repaired wall is the essential first step in any interior update.
Our Wall Repair Services
We handle a full range of wall repairs for drywall, sheetrock, and plaster, with a commitment to clean finishes and high-quality results. Whether it’s one room or the entire house, we’ll take care of it quickly and professionally.
Drywall Repair
Drywall is durable, but it’s also prone to damage from impact, settling, water, and daily use. We offer complete drywall repair services for:
- Nail holes and picture hanger damage
- Door knob holes or moving damage
- Cracks near windows or ceilings
- Separated drywall seams or corner beads
- Water-damaged sections
- Full drywall panel replacement (if needed)
Plaster Wall Repair
In older homes, plaster walls are common — and they require a special approach. We have experience restoring traditional lath-and-plaster walls by:
- Patching cracks and holes
- Skim coating to smooth uneven surfaces
- Blending new plaster with old
- Reinforcing fragile or failing sections
We restore your plaster walls without damaging the original integrity of the home.
Water Damage Repair
Water damage often leaves behind staining, warping, soft spots, or even mold. We safely remove affected sections, dry the area, treat for mold/mildew (if needed), and replace drywall or plaster to match the surrounding surfaces.
Important: If the source of water damage hasn’t been fixed (roof leaks, plumbing issues, etc.), we’ll help you coordinate repairs before starting any wall restoration.
Texture Matching & Skim Coating
Whether your wall has a knockdown, orange peel, or smooth finish, we match your existing texture for a seamless repair. If you prefer a new surface style or want to get rid of outdated textures altogether, we offer full skim coating for a flat, modern look.

Our Wall Repair Process
We take pride in providing professional results and a stress-free experience. Here’s what you can expect when you hire us:
1. Free On-Site Estimate
We assess the damage, determine what’s needed, and give you a clear, written quote. No hidden fees, no guesswork.
2. Surface Preparation
We prep the area by removing loose materials, protecting surrounding furniture and floors, and addressing any moisture issues before work begins.

Depending on the damage, we patch, tape, float, and sand the area using professional tools and durable materials. We always feather repairs into the surrounding surface for a clean blend.
4. Texture or Skim Coat
We match the existing texture — or apply a full skim coat if requested. This ensures the wall looks uniform and seamless after painting.
5. Final Sanding & Cleanup
We carefully sand and clean the area, leaving the wall paint-ready and your space spotless.

A: It depends on the size and severity of the damage. Small holes are quick and affordable to fix, while larger repairs or water damage may require more time. We provide free estimates.
Q: Can you paint after you repair the wall?
A: Absolutely. We offer full-service interior painting and color matching to make the repair blend seamlessly.

A: Not with us. Our goal is for the repaired area to be completely invisible once painted — just like new.
