Patch & Small Hole Repair

Frisco’s new homes develop their own signature set of small damages: nail pops in year one, hairline settling cracks above doors, anchor holes from the first round of TV mounting and shelving, doorknob dings in bedrooms where the door swings just a little too far. They’re small — and that’s exactly why they’re worth fixing fast, in one visit, by someone who makes the patch vanish.

The Frisco Damage List

• Nail and screw pops — the bumps and craters where fasteners back out of settling framing. Extremely common in Frisco homes under three years old; almost a rite of passage.
• Settling cracks — hairline cracks above doors, windows, and ceiling corners as a new slab adjusts to expansive clay soil. Usually cosmetic, but worth a professional eye the first time.
• Anchor and TV-mount holes — wall-mounted TVs are everywhere here, along with the anchor holes from the first attempt in the wrong stud.
• Doorknob dings — the classic hole at handle height, especially in bedrooms and powder rooms.
• Furniture and moving-day gouges — Frisco turns over a lot of homes; movers leave marks.
• Corner bead damage — outside corners in hallways take the worst beating.

If the damage is smaller than a dinner plate, it’s a patch, not a replacement — faster, cleaner, and far cheaper.

Why DIY Patches Fail in New Homes

Store-bought patch kits are designed for stable, older walls. Frisco’s newest homes are still moving, so a rigid patch over a settling crack frequently re-splits within a year — sometimes in months. We patch for the conditions: flexible compounds on settling cracks, proper re-securing of popped fasteners before filling, corner bead replaced (not just skimmed over), and seams feathered wide so the repair can move with the wall instead of fighting it.

And the finishing matters as much as the patch itself: new paint sheen over fresh compound reads differently than the wall around it unless the patch is properly primed and feathered. That step is where most DIY attempts — and plenty of handymen — leave a shiny ghost on the wall.

One Visit, Several Repairs

Because small damage comes in clusters, the smart way to handle it is one visit and one quote covering all of it: every nail pop in the hallway, all four doorknob dings, the TV-mount holes, the settling crack above the kitchen doorway. Patch pricing per spot drops sharply when we’re already there, which makes a whole-home touch-up surprisingly affordable — especially before photos for a sale or refinance, which is one of the most common reasons Frisco homeowners call us.

Our Process

1. Walk the list with you — or work from photos you send ahead, so we bring everything in one trip
2. Prep properly — re-secure popped fasteners, clear loose material, reinforce settling cracks
3. Fill in thin coats — the difference between a patch that lasts and one that sinks or swells
4. Sand under light — checking each spot under raking light the way the afternoon sun will
5. Texture and prime — matched to the wall, primed so the sheen blends
6. Final look with you — each repair checked with you in the room, under your lights

Pricing
