A minor drywall repair in Hunterdon County, New Jersey (about 1 sqft) can range from $250-$500. This would include patching, spackling, sanding and priming the repair in preparation for paint.
Drywall damage is among one of the most common reasons New Jersey homeowners get in touch with contractors. It can be caused by anything from moving furniture to a high velocity TV remote thrown during a sporting event (happens more than you may think). Either way, a gaping hole can serve as an instant eye sore in your wall or ceiling.
Thankfully, most drywall repairs are pretty straightforward and can be completed in one work day. However, the larger the hole (or the more serious the damage) the more in depth the repair may become. Thus, extending the job duration and total cost of the repair.

If your drywall damage is relatively minor and can be repaired in one day of work, you can likely expect to pay about $250-$500. As the repair becomes more in depth, (like patching a recess in a wall where a TV unit was once stored…see this article’s thumbnail) the cost can increase quite a bit. If lumber framing, full sheets of drywall and heavy spackling are required to blend well with an existing wall, you may be looking at a repair in the low four figures. The thumbnail image and example above cost about $1,900.
Although drywall repair and spackling may seem to be a simple task, (and if $500 seems to be an outrageous price tag for covering up a small hole in the wall) consider the nuanced skill of not only making a hole in the wall disappear but also ensuring that it looks like it was never there to begin with. That’s the beauty of expert professional drywall repairs.
