Drywall realities in Philadelphia
- Plaster-over-lath in many Philly rowhomes means a “hole” is not always a drywall patch — we diagnose substrate before quoting a flat menu item.
- Doorknob dings and stairwell scrapes are the everyday cosmetic jobs; water stains from roof or plumbing need the leak fixed first.
- Condo boards in Center City often want quiet hours and drop cloths for common hallways — share building rules when you book.
- Matching old orange-peel or knockdown textures in Northeast Philly / Cherry Hill takes an extra skim coat vs. smooth new drywall.

Small hole from $195; ceiling repair $325; water-damage drywall $455 on the published menu; larger panels quoted.
Do you match texture?
Yes — orange-peel and knockdown are common. Heavy popcorn matching takes longer.
