Quick Answer
Drywall repair in Maywood starts at $125 for a small hole or crack, and a full room with multiple repairs runs about $350. That price comes from Vanguard Painting, a licensed and insured company based right in Melrose Park. We patch holes, fix cracks, smooth out water-damaged areas, and re-texture to match the rest of your wall. We work on drywall, plaster, and old lath-and-plaster walls across Maywood and the rest of Cook County.
What's Included in Our Drywall Repair
We don't just cover the hole and call it done. This is the full repair process on every Maywood job.
We clean out loose material and cut back to solid wall so the patch holds.
All joints get tape and fiberglass mesh to stop cracks from reappearing.
We apply the initial layer and let it dry before the next coat.
Second coat to level the repair, then sand it smooth when dry.
We feather out the edges so the repair disappears into the rest of the wall.
Popcorn, knockdown, orange peel, or smooth—we match your existing finish.
Repaired spots get a coat of primer so paint doesn't soak in differently.
We can paint the whole wall so it looks like the damage never happened.

Maywood Walls Have Their Own Issues
Maywood homes range from pre-war plaster walls to modern drywall. Each one needs a different repair approach.
Plaster cracks over time
Plaster walls in older Maywood homes develop hairline cracks as the house settles. We cut them open, tape them, and skim them flat so they don't come back.
Water damage from flat roofs
Some Maywood houses have flat or low-slope roofs that leak. We handle the water stains, replace damaged drywall, and paint the ceiling to look new.
Popcorn texture repairs
Many Maywood homes have popcorn ceilings. When sections get damaged, we re-texture the patch so it blends in, then we can paint the whole ceiling if you want. See our popcorn ceiling painting page for details.
Homes built before 1978 can have lead paint on the walls. Our repair crews follow safe work practices on those jobs.
Our Drywall Repair Process
We follow the same steps on every repair so the result blends into your wall perfectly.
Inspect and price
We check the damage, look for water or structural issues, and write the estimate.
Prep the area
We move furniture, lay drop cloths, and cover floors and trim.
Cut out the damage
We remove loose material and cut back to solid drywall or plaster.
Install patch
New drywall or backer board goes in, secured and taped at the edges.
Apply compound
We apply joint compound in multiple coats, sanding between each one.
Texture match
We re-texture to match your existing wall finish.
Prime the patch
We prime the repaired area so paint covers evenly.
Paint or walkthrough
We paint the wall if you want, or we clean up and let you inspect the repair.
The Drywall Repairs Maywood Homeowners Need Most
Here are the three most common drywall repairs we do in Maywood. Same crew and same prep on all of them.
Holes and cracks
Door knob holes, furniture dings, and settlement cracks. We patch and texture them so you can't find them. Often paired with house painting in Maywood.
Water damage
Stains, soft spots, and peeling paint from roof or pipe leaks. We cut out the bad section and replace it with fresh drywall.
Plaster repair
Old plaster walls lose their keys and sag. We stabilize them and re-skim the surface so they look new.
The Crew That Fixes Your Maywood Walls
Our shop is at 541 Winston Dr in Melrose Park. Maywood is just down the road, so we can get out for an estimate quickly. The same person who prices the job is the one who shows up with the compound and sanding gear.
We work the near west suburbs every day. We know which Maywood homes have drywall, which have plaster, and which have old lath-and-plaster walls that need special attention. We don't just slap on compound and hope it holds.
Drywall repair usually leads to painting—we can paint the whole room after we fix the walls. That saves you from doing two separate jobs. We also handle basement painting and drywall repair in the same visit.

What Maywood Homeowners Complain About, and What They Get
People call us about these wall problems all the time. Here's what the wall looks like after we're done.
The problem
You patched that crack last year and it's back. That's because the tape didn't hold.
Old patches are visible as bumps or depressions. They never got feathered in properly.
You painted over the stain, but it came right back. That's because it wasn't sealed.
What you get
We use tape and mesh on every crack, so it doesn't split open when the house settles.
We feather the compound out several inches on each side so the patch disappears into the wall.
We seal water stains with oil-based primer before we paint, so they don't ghost back through.
