DO-IT-YOURSELF
AND SAVE!

To have a contractor patch and paint a small drywall hole (under 6"), homeowners typically pay $250–$400 per repair — more for textured walls or color-matched paint.

 

Learn how to do it yourself for a fraction of that cost — and feel confident tackling future repairs on your own!
