Drywall realities in Washington DC
- Historic plaster near Capitol Hill is not always drywall — we diagnose substrate before quoting a flat menu patch.
- Freight and quiet hours in Arlington / Bethesda condos mean patch + prime in one booked window beats two trips.
- Radiator niches and old chase walls crack at corners; flexible fill + tape beats caulk-only “fixes” that reopen every season.
- Silver Spring and Fairfax single-family jobs usually allow same-day multi-hole batches when furniture is pre-moved.

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.
