Drywall & Plaster Repair in Merchantville, NJ
Professional wall repairs with seamless, invisible results
Hi, I'm Nick, and I specialize in professional drywall and plaster repair for Merchantville homeowners. Whether you have nail holes, large dents, water damage, or cracked plaster, I provide seamless repairs that disappear completely under a fresh coat of paint.
Most wall damage happens during normal living—moving furniture, hanging pictures, kids playing, or removing old fixtures. Rather than living with unsightly holes and cracks, professional repair work restores your walls to perfect condition before painting. I work with both modern drywall and historic plaster, using the right techniques for each material.
Every repair in Merchantville includes proper surface preparation, texture matching, and careful finishing so the repair becomes completely invisible once painted.
