01 About

A Portland drywall company, built around one craft.

The Drywall Repair Co. is a Portland-owned drywall company. We repair drywall and we install it, for homes and businesses. Our repair work covers holes, cracks, water damage, ceilings, texture matching, and plaster. Our installation work is hanging, taping, and finishing new walls and ceilings for remodels, additions, and new construction.

On a lot of projects, drywall is a quick step between framing and paint. For us it's the whole job. Most of our time goes into the finish, because a good finish is what keeps anyone from noticing the work was done.

Repair is our name, and installation is part of the work

People usually call us about an old patch they can still see, a water stain spreading across a ceiling, or a remodel that needs drywall hung and finished. Every job gets the same approach: we work cleanly, match what's already there, and leave a wall that doesn't show the repair.

Our name says repair because most customers first call us for a repair, usually the week something went through a wall. We also hang and finish new drywall for remodels, additions, garages, basements, and new construction. A room framed down to bare studs gets the same standard of finish as a single nail pop. See the full range of drywall services we offer, from drywall repair to new construction.

Why a specialist, not a handyman

You can call a handyman to fix drywall, and many fit it in between other kinds of work. Drywall is the only trade we do, so it gets our full attention. A handyman can fill a hole. We make sure you can't find it later.

You see the difference in the finish. The seam is feathered out so it sits flat, the texture matches what's already on the wall, and the paint is blended so the patch doesn't show a different sheen when sunlight hits the wall from the side. A quick pass with a putty knife won't get you there. That finish takes a specialist, and it decides whether the repair disappears or stays visible for years. We won't run down the contractors who bid lower. We just do the finish work they can't.

Portland-owned, Portland-served

We're an independent local company. There's no franchise and no call center between you and the person doing the work. The person who quotes your job is responsible for how it looks when the furniture goes back.

We're based in Portland, and we know the housing here, which can change from one block to the next. A Laurelhurst foursquare may have horsehair plaster, a Tigard split-level may have knockdown texture, and a Lake Oswego remodel may call for a Level 5 smooth wall, where the whole surface gets a thin coat of compound so it's completely smooth. We serve the whole metro: every Portland quadrant plus Hillsboro, Beaverton, Tigard, Lake Oswego, Tualatin, and Aloha.

How we work

Estimates are free and written, and most are done from photos you send, with no site visit needed. We're Oregon CCB licensed, bonded, and insured. The license number is on every page of this site and on every estimate, and proof of coverage comes with the quote. Every job comes with a written workmanship warranty. Here's how our workmanship warranty works.

We show up when we say we will, keep the room clean between visits, and put down more plastic than the job strictly needs. If something has to happen before we start, like a plumber fixing an active leak, we tell you up front. We won't sell you a patch that won't hold.

The work speaks

We don't oversell. Our gallery puts the before photo of each wall next to the after photo, so you can judge the finish yourself.

We photograph every finished wall before we leave, before the furniture goes back. That gives us a record of the job, and it shows what we mean by a repair nobody can find. See our finished work.
