Repairs that disappear into the wall
Drywall repair in Bozeman covers a lot more than doorknob holes. Newer homes settle in their first few years and crack at the corners of doors and windows, nail pops show up on ceilings when the framing dries out in the winter air, and an ice dam or a frozen pipe can leave a stain that means the board has to be cut out. We patch, tape, match your texture and paint, so the repair disappears into the wall instead of showing every time the light hits it. The work is done by background-checked craftsmen and guaranteed in writing for one year. Call (800) 884-2639 for an estimate.
Plenty of Bozeman homes were built from the 1990s onward and still have an unfinished basement. We hang and finish whole rooms, using moisture-resistant board in bathrooms and below-grade spaces. Where opening a wall touches plumbing or wiring, some of this work needs a licensed trade and a permit under Montana rules. Your estimate spells out which parts of the job that applies to before anything is scheduled.
Older houses near downtown, in the Bon Ton and South Willson districts and the Northeast neighborhood, often have plaster rather than drywall. Plaster cracks differently and needs a different repair, which we also do.
What we fix
Drywall and plaster work
Holes and dents
Doorknob holes, anchor holes, moving-day gouges and the damage left after removing fixtures or shelving, patched flush.
Settling cracks and nail pops
Stress cracks over doors and windows retaped, and popped fasteners reset with screws and spotted.
Water damage
Stained, soft or sagging drywall from an ice dam or a leak cut out once the source is fixed, then replaced, taped and finished.
Texture matching
Knockdown, orange peel and smooth finishes matched on a sample first, so patches blend in.
Plaster repair
Cracked and loose plaster in older homes repaired so it matches the surrounding wall.
New walls and basements
Whole rooms hung, taped and finished, including moisture-resistant board below grade.
Why patches show, and how we keep them from showing
Signs to watch for
What drywall damage is telling you
Brown stains near exterior walls
Often an ice dam backing water under the roof edge, or a leak from a bathroom above. The source has to be fixed before the ceiling is repaired.
Diagonal cracks at door corners
Common in homes that are still settling. Retaping with the right tape keeps them from coming straight back.
Nail pops in rows
Framing shrinking in dry winter air. Resetting with screws holds better than more nails.
Soft or bulging walls
Drywall that feels soft has been wet. It needs to be cut out, not painted over.

Cost
What affects the cost of drywall work
Size and number of repairs
Several small patches on one visit cost less per patch than one at a time, which is why a new-home punch list is worth doing all at once.
Texture
Smooth walls are the hardest to hide patches on; textured ceilings need matching.
Water damage
Damage that has spread behind the surface means more board to replace.
Ceilings and height
Ceiling, vaulted and stairwell repairs take more setup than walls at eye level.
