Seamless Drywall Repair & Texture Matching in Fresno, CA
The Art of Invisible Drywall Repair
A bad drywall patch is an eyesore that draws attention every time you walk into a room. The challenge isn’t just filling the hole—it is mimicking the unique texture of your wall so the repair becomes invisible.
At Pro 1 Painting Inc., we are experts in matching Central Valley wall textures, from standard Orange Peel and Knockdown to smooth finishes. We treat small patches with the same care as full remodels. Additionally, if your home was built before 1978, we follow strict safety protocols as an EPA Lead-Safe Certified Firm to ensure dust and debris are handled safely.
What We Fix
Drywall damage happens. Whether it’s from a door swinging open too hard or a plumbing leak, we restore the structural integrity and look of your walls.
Water Damage Restoration: We cut out soft, damp drywall, check for mold, and replace it with fresh material.
Stress Cracks: Homes in Fresno settle. We use fiber-mesh tape to repair cracks and prevent them from returning.
Holes & Dings: From doorknob punches to movers bumping the wall, we patch impacts of all sizes.
Texture Matching: This is our specialty. We can replicate Orange Peel, Knockdown, Skip Trowel, and Smooth finishes.

Our 5-Step Kitchen Painting Process
Kitchens are busy spaces. We have refined our workflow to be efficient, clean, and minimally intrusive.
Area Protection & Prep
Drywall work creates dust. We start by laying down drop cloths and masking off the surrounding area to keep your furniture and floors clean. We effectively isolate the repair zone.
Cut & Square
For larger holes or water damage, we don't just patch over the mess. We cut the damaged drywall into a clean square or rectangle to ensure the new piece fits tight and has solid backing.
Tape & Mud
We install the new drywall patch and apply joint tape to the seams. We then apply multiple thin coats of joint compound ("mud"), feathering out the edges so there is no visible "hump" on the wall.
Expert Texture Matching
Once the mud is smooth, we apply the texture. Whether spraying or hand-troweling, we adjust the consistency and air pressure to match the existing pattern of your wall perfectly.
Prime & Paint
New drywall absorbs paint differently than old paint. We spot-prime the repair to seal it, then apply the finish paint, blending it into the surrounding wall for a seamless look.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you match the texture of my existing walls?
Yes. This is the most critical part of the repair. Whether your walls have Orange Peel, Knockdown, Skip Trowel, or a smooth finish, our experts adjust their technique and materials to replicate the pattern so the patch blends in seamlessly with the surrounding area.
Do you paint the repair after fixing the drywall?
Absolutely. We are a full-service painting company. Once the texture is dry, we prime the patch and apply the finish paint. We can spot-paint the repair if you have the original paint, or we can color-match and paint the entire wall for a flawless finish.
Is the repair process messy?
Drywall work involves sanding, which creates dust, but we take strict measures to contain it. We use plastic sheeting to isolate the repair area and cover your floors and furniture. We treat your home with respect and ensure the workspace is clean before we leave.
Do you take on small jobs like a doorknob hole?
Yes. We handle repairs of all sizes, from a single hole caused by a doorknob to large sections of water-damaged drywall. You don’t need a massive renovation project to hire us; we are happy to help get your home looking perfect again.
How long does a drywall repair take?
Most standard repairs can be completed in 1 to 2 days. The joint compound and texture need time to dry before we can paint. For smaller patches, we may use quick-setting compounds to finish the job faster, but we never rush if it compromises the quality of the finish.
