Holes in the wall
Holes from wall fixtures, hardware, or everyday use can leave an obvious interruption in an otherwise smooth wall. Repairing the opening before painting helps prevent the damage from remaining visible under the new finish.

Overview
Drywall damage can show through fresh paint when holes, dents, cracks, or uneven patches are not repaired correctly. The damaged area needs to be prepared, filled, smoothed, and checked before paint is applied.
Kinol Bros Painting handles drywall repair as part of the painting process, helping create a more even surface from one section of the wall to the next. Repair work can address small areas or larger sections that need additional preparation before painting.
Symptoms
When to call
Cracks and separated seams
Cracks can appear across drywall surfaces or along joints between sections. The area needs to be examined and repaired before it is painted so the damaged line does not remain highlighted by the new color.
Dents and impact damage
A dented wall may have a shallow depression, broken surface, or damaged edge. Filling and smoothing the area restores a more consistent surface for primer and paint.
Patches that still show
An older repair can remain visible when its edges are raised, rough, or uneven. Additional surface preparation can help blend the repaired area with the surrounding drywall before painting.
Our process
How the repair goes
-
Assess the damaged area
The repair begins by looking at the size, depth, and condition of the drywall damage. This helps determine how the area should be prepared and whether the surrounding surface also needs attention.
-
Prepare and fill the repair
Loose material and rough edges are removed or prepared so the repair material can bond to a sound surface. The damaged section is then filled or rebuilt as needed for the type of repair.
-
Smooth and blend the surface
After the repair material has set, the area is smoothed and its edges are blended into the surrounding wall. The surface is checked for remaining ridges, depressions, or visible transitions.
-
Prepare for painting
The repaired area is prepared for paint so the new finish can be applied across a more uniform surface. Any needed final touch-ups are addressed before painting begins.

What types of drywall damage can be repaired?
Drywall repair can address common surface damage such as holes, cracks, dents, rough patches, and damaged areas that need preparation before painting. The repair approach depends on the size and condition of the area.
Will the repair be visible after painting?
The goal is to smooth and blend the repaired area with the surrounding drywall before paint is applied. The result depends on the condition of the existing wall, the extent of the damage, and the preparation required.
Can drywall repair be done before the whole room is painted?
Yes. Repairing the drywall before painting gives the surface time to be filled, smoothed, and prepared before the new finish is applied.
How is drywall repair quoted?
The work is quoted after the damaged area is reviewed. Size, depth, number of repairs, and the amount of surface preparation needed all help determine the scope of the job.
