DRYWALL REPAIR & PATCHING
DC, MD & VA
Holes, cracks, water damage, and failed textures are no match for a skilled drywall crew. 5 Star Pros delivers seamless repairs with expert texture matching so the patch disappears completely — no visible seams, no amateur blobs.
PROFESSIONAL DRYWALL REPAIR
IN THE DMV AREA
Drywall damage is one of the most common — and most visible — problems homeowners face in the DMV. Moving furniture leaves doorknob holes. Old plumbing leaks leave stained, bubbling ceilings. Settling foundations leave hairline cracks at corners and along taped seams. Hanging artwork leaves dozens of nail holes that a fresh coat of paint alone won't hide. These aren't just cosmetic annoyances — they tell buyers and guests that a home hasn't been well maintained, and they drag down your property's perceived value.
What separates a professional drywall repair from a DIY patch is texture matching. Most DMV homes have either an orange peel, knockdown, or smooth finish — and each requires a different technique and tool to replicate convincingly. Our drywall specialists evaluate your existing texture before touching the wall, then replicate it using the appropriate spray pressure, compound consistency, and hand technique. The goal is always the same: when we're done, you shouldn't be able to tell where the repair was.
We work fast and clean. Most single-room repair jobs are completed in one to two visits. We protect your floors and furniture, sand carefully to avoid dust clouds, and leave your space ready to paint. Many clients combine drywall repair with a fresh paint job — a combination that gives a room a completely renewed look at a very reasonable cost. If you're preparing a home for sale or just tired of looking at that doorknob hole, call 5 Star Pros for a free assessment.

OUR PROCESS
We evaluate the damage, identify the root cause, and study your existing wall texture before touching anything. The right approach to the patch starts with understanding what we're matching.
We cut clean edges on damaged areas, install backer boards where needed, and apply the patch or new drywall panel. First coat of joint compound is feathered wide to blend seamlessly.
Additional coats of compound are applied, sanded, and finished until the surface is perfectly level. We then apply the matching texture — orange peel, knockdown, smooth, or skip trowel.
We only wrap up when you're 100% satisfied with every detail. Primed surface is ready for paint, or we can paint it for you as part of the same project.
