The Handy Swan — Chico, CA handyman

Chico Drywall Repair You Can Actually Schedule This Week

Holes, cracks, water damage, full sheet installs — done clean.

From a doorknob-sized hole to a water-damaged ceiling, drywall is one of the most common calls we take. Kevin handles patching, crack repair, full sheet installs, texture matching, and prep-for-paint — across Chico, Paradise, Oroville, Durham, Magalia, Forest Ranch and surrounding Butte County neighborhoods.

Patches that reach the floor often turn up damaged flooring too — mention it when you call and Kevin can scope both in one visit.

Frequently asked

What can you do?

  • Small patches (doorknob, nail-pops, accidents)
  • Large patches after plumbing, electrical, or water damage
  • Full sheet replacement and installation
  • Texture matching (orange peel, knockdown, smooth)
  • Crack repair, corner bead repair, seam work
  • Prep-for-paint so your painter starts clean

How long does a drywall patch take to dry?

Standard joint compound needs 24 hours between coats. A typical patch takes 2–3 days total (patch, sand, texture, paint). We can do a hot-mud fast-set patch in one visit if needed.

Can you match my existing wall texture?

Yes — orange peel, knockdown, or smooth. Texture matching is part of the job, not a separate charge.

Do I need to move furniture before you arrive?

We bring drop cloths and plastic. A quick clear-out of a 6-foot radius helps us work faster, but we handle the rest.
