Atlanta Drywall Repair Cost: 2026 Pricing by Damage Type

What You Can Plan to Spend

Trying to gauge Atlanta drywall repair cost before you call anyone? Most individual patches run somewhere between $75 and $600 in 2026, depending on how big the damage is and what caused it. Among the most frequent headaches in any home, drywall trouble — nail pops, doorknob dings, hairline cracks along the seams, and water stains — has an upside: almost all of it can be repaired without tearing your walls apart.

Ranges by Repair Type

Here is how the common repairs tend to fall. Small fixes like nail holes and minor dents run about $75 to $150 each. Medium patches — think fist-sized holes or doorknob impact — land near $150 to $300. Larger repairs from water intrusion or settlement cracks run roughly $300 to $600. If a whole room needs skim-coating or retexturing, plan on about $1.50 to $3.50 per square foot. Where you land depends on patch size, access, and how well the surrounding texture has to be blended.

Water Damage and Mold

Once drywall gets wet the board loses its integrity, so water-damaged sections normally get removed and rebuilt instead of merely patched. That work generally runs $500 to $2,000 based on how far the damage spread. Where mold has set in, remediation adds roughly $500 to $3,000 and must be cleared before any new board goes up. On projects like these, we line up moisture testing and a referral to a plumber so the underlying cause gets fixed, not just hidden.

Popcorn Ceiling Removal and Asbestos

Scraping off dated popcorn texture runs about $1 to $2 per square foot, or roughly $1,000 to $3,000 per room. In homes built before 1980, the responsible first step is testing for asbestos, which adds about $200 to $400 to cover the lab work. Should a sample come back positive, we stop and point you toward a licensed abatement contractor before the paint work continues — abatement is not something we handle ourselves.
