How much does drywall installation and repair cost in Austin, TX?

Drywall installation in Austin typically runs $1.50 to $3.00 per square foot for materials and labor, with most rooms landing between $300 and $800 per room. Repairs range from $200 for small holes and cracks up to $1,000 or more for water-damaged sections that require replacement. Texture matching and popcorn ceiling removal are quoted separately. 369 Builders gives free, itemized estimates so you know the full cost before we start.

How long does drywall installation or repair take?

A single room of new drywall install and finish usually takes 2 to 4 days — hanging, taping, two mud coats, sanding, and texture. Whole-home new construction or large remodels take one to two weeks. Small repairs like a hole or crack are often finished in a single visit with same-day patching and a next-day touch-up. Drying time between coats sets the schedule, and Austin humidity can slow it slightly.

Can you match the texture on my existing walls?

Yes. We match knockdown, orange peel, hand-trowel, and smooth (level-5) finishes to blend invisibly with your existing walls and ceilings. Matching is part art and part technique — we test the spray pattern and mud consistency against your wall before applying it, so repaired areas don't read as patches. This matters most on partial-wall repairs in finished homes where a visible square would be obvious under raking light.

What are the signs of water-damaged drywall?

Soft or crumbling drywall, brown or yellow stains, a musty smell, bulging or bubbling paint, and visible mold are the main signs. In Austin, AC condensation, roof leaks after spring storms, and slab or pipe leaks are common causes. We locate the source, remove the damaged section, and replace it — we won't just paint over active water damage and call it fixed.

Should I attempt drywall repair myself or hire a professional?

Small nail holes and hairline cracks are reasonable DIY projects. Anything larger — a fist-size hole, water damage, a crack that keeps returning, or texture that needs to match — is worth a professional. DIY patches often show as visible squares under raking light, and mismatched texture reads clearly. For repairs you'll see every day, professional finishing is the difference between invisible and obvious.

Do you remove popcorn ceilings, and is it safe in older Austin homes?

We remove acoustic popcorn ceilings throughout Austin homes. Pre-1980 popcorn may contain asbestos, so we test first and follow safe-removal protocol when needed. After removal we re-texture to a modern knockdown or smooth finish. Most rooms are completed in one to two days, with furniture protection and thorough cleanup included.

Drywall Finishing & Taping

Professional taping and finishing from level 1 to level-5 smooth, including skim coating for paint-ready walls under critical lighting where any imperfection shows.

Warning Signs

Signs You Need Drywall Repair

Austin's clay-soil settling, humidity, and storm leaks accelerate drywall damage. If you spot any of these, a quick repair now prevents larger, more expensive fixes later.

Cracks or holes

Cracks from settling, impact holes, or nail pops expose the framing and invite moisture and pests into the wall cavity.

Water stains

Yellow or brown stains, bulging, or soft spots signal a leak above or behind the wall — the damaged section must be removed and replaced, not painted over.

Sagging or bubbling

Drywall that sags or bubbles has absorbed moisture or lost fasteners — common after roof or pipe leaks in Austin homes.

Hollow or soft spots

Areas that sound hollow or feel soft when tapped indicate the drywall has delaminated from the framing or been compromised by water.

Texture damage

Flaking, cracked, or mismatched texture from prior patches reads as patchwork under normal room lighting and calls for re-texturing.

Nail pops

Small bumps where nails push through paint indicate framing movement — common with Austin's seasonal humidity swings — and need re-securing and finishing.

Noticing any of these? A drywall inspection takes minutes and catches the source before it spreads.

They removed the popcorn ceilings across our whole Austin home and re-textured to a smooth finish. Two days, no mess, looks modern. Wish we'd done it years ago.

Cracks kept reopening above our doorways from the clay soil. They re-secured the framing, re-taped, and finished — cracks are gone a year later.
