Should You DIY Your Drywall Repair — Or Call a Pro?
It’s a fair question: can I repair my own drywall? The answer is: it depends.
DIY Drywall Repair Might Work If:
•The hole is smaller than 1 inch
•You have a basic repair kit (mesh patch, joint compound, sanding block)
•You’re okay with minor imperfections
But You Should Call a Pro When:
•The hole is larger than 2 inches
•The damage involves corners, ceilings, or textured walls
•There’s water damage, mold, or structural issues
•You want a flawless finish, especially before painting or selling
While DIY videos make it look easy, matching textures and achieving an invisible patch takes skill. Most homeowners end up spending more time and money redoing the repair — or calling a pro to fix a botched job.
