Every number in the table is the whole flat price for the job in Los Angeles. You approve it before we start, and it changes only if the job itself changes.
Long punch lists and projects with no fixed scope. Billed by the hour, so the total depends on how long it runs.
What the lower end buys
You get one small patch, taped, mudded, sanded flat and primed, with the texture blended so the repair vanishes under paint. Doorknob dents, nail pops and old anchor holes all land here. We bag the dust and wipe the baseboard down before we leave.
What the higher end buys
Four or five holes across two rooms, a knockdown texture that has to be feathered wide, or a stained sagging ceiling pushes the number toward the top. Overhead work is slower than wall work, and each coat of mud has to dry before the next one goes on.

Biggest price driver
Texture match drives the price here. A smooth wall takes one pass and a sanding block. Orange peel and knockdown get tested on scrap cardboard first, then feathered two feet past the patch, because afternoon light rakes across the wall and shows every ridge you left behind.
How to keep your drywall repair cost down
Three or four patches in one visit cost less than three separate calls, so hold the list until it is worth a trip. Move the furniture and take the art down yourself. If the room is due for fresh paint anyway, skip the texture blend.
