ServicesDrywall & paint
Drywall + paint · labor only

Drywall and paint with sharp lines.

Holes from a door knob, water damage from a leaking AC, full-room drywall replacement, or a whole-house repaint after closing. I cut clean patches, sand smooth, and don't leave roller marks on the ceiling.

📐Typical labor: $2.50 – $4.50 per sq ft (paint) · $40 – $90 per patch (drywall)

How a drywall & paint job runs.

Same shape every time. You always know what step we're on.
01

Walk-through

30 min on-site. I count rooms, measure walls, and check for any wet spots that need to dry first.

02

Estimate + color help

Labor estimate next day. If you want help picking colors, I'll spend 30 min with you at Sherwin-Williams.

03

Prep

Move furniture to center, drop-cloth floors, plastic on cabinets and built-ins.

04

Patch + paint

Patch, sand, prime, two coats. Usually 1–4 days depending on size.

05

Final walk

Cut lines checked, drop-cloths up, furniture back.

Questions I get about drywall & paint.

Sherwin-Williams or Benjamin Moore?

Both work. SW is what I default to because of the Pompano store hours and contractor pricing. If you have a specific BM color, I'll match it.

Do I need to leave the house?

Only the rooms I'm actively painting that day. With low-VOC paint, you can stay in the other rooms.

How long does paint take to dry?

Touch-dry in 1 hour, recoat at 4 hours, fully cured at 30 days. I won't put furniture against a freshly painted wall for at least 48 hours.

Tell me what you need. I'll text you back today.

Most homeowners hear back within two hours. I keep my phone on me on the job — leave a voicemail and I'll call after dinner.

I'll text or call back the same day. No spam, no marketing list.
