Complete Drywall Repair & Installation Services
Drywall Patching & Hole Repair
From fist-sized holes to large sections damaged by plumbing or electrical work, we cut clean edges, set new drywall, tape, mud, and sand until the repair is invisible. We match your existing wall texture so the patch blends completely.
Water Damage Repair
Water-damaged drywall needs to come out before mold takes hold. We remove compromised sections, inspect for moisture and mold behind the wall, install new drywall, and finish to match. We work with your plumber to make sure the source is fixed first.
Drywall Hanging & Installation
Full drywall installation for new rooms, basement finishes, garage conversions, and additions. We measure, cut, and hang sheets with proper fastening patterns, then tape, mud, and sand through multiple coats for smooth, paint-ready walls.
Taping, Mudding & Finishing
The finishing work is what separates amateur drywall from professional results. We apply joint compound in multiple thin coats, sand between each pass, and build up to the finish level your project requires—from standard Level 3 to glass-smooth Level 5.
Ceiling Repair & Installation
Ceiling drywall takes more skill than walls—gravity works against every step. We handle sagging ceiling repair, water stain removal, popcorn ceiling removal, and new ceiling installations with the proper support and fastening.
Texture Matching & Application
Portland homes span decades of drywall texture styles—knockdown, orange peel, skip trowel, smooth, and everything in between. We match your existing texture so repairs and new sections blend with the original walls.
From Assessment to Finished Walls
One team handles your drywall project from first look to final walkthrough. No hand-offs, no miscommunication.
We visit your home to evaluate the drywall damage or scope the installation. We check behind walls where needed, identify moisture issues, and discuss the best approach for your situation.
You receive a written proposal with the full scope of work and fixed pricing. Repair or installation, materials, finishing level, texture matching—everything is spelled out. The price on the proposal is the price you pay.
We protect your floors, furniture, and adjacent surfaces before any work begins. Drywall work generates dust, and we contain it from the start—not as an afterthought.
Our in-house crew handles the repair or installation. For repairs, we cut clean, set patches, and build up the finish. For installations, we hang, tape, and mud with proper technique at every step.
Multiple coats of joint compound, sanding between each pass, and texture application to match your existing walls. This is the step that makes the difference between visible seams and invisible work.
We walk the completed work with you, checking every seam, corner, and transition under proper lighting. Your project isn't done until you sign off on the results and we've cleaned up completely.
Timeline Estimates: Simple patch: 1 visit | Multi-area repair: 2-3 days | Full room installation: 3-7 days
The Crestwood Difference
In-House Drywall Crew
Our drywall crew works for us—not a subcontractor sent over with a bucket of mud. That means consistent quality, proper technique, and a team that knows our standards inside and out.
Owner on Every Project
The owner of Crestwood is involved from your first assessment through the final walkthrough. You always have a direct line to the person responsible for the work.
Fixed Pricing
Our proposals include everything—materials, labor, finishing, texture matching, and cleanup. The price we quote is the price you pay. No surprise upcharges when we open a wall and find more work.
Industry Leading Warranty
We back our drywall work with a comprehensive workmanship warranty. Cracks from improper finishing, visible seams, nail pops from poor fastening—if our work fails, we fix it.
Clean Jobsite Practices
Drywall dust gets everywhere if you let it. We don't. We contain our work area, run dust collection, clean up daily, and protect the parts of your home we're not working in.
Portland Home Expertise
We know Portland homes—plaster-over-lath in old Craftsmans, textured walls in mid-century ranches, smooth finishes in modern builds. Different homes need different approaches, and we've worked on all of them.
What Portland Homeowners Say
We had water damage in our upstairs bathroom ceiling that had spread to the hallway. Crestwood cut out the damaged drywall, checked for mold, and made the repair completely invisible. You'd never know it happened.
After getting our basement plumbed and wired, Crestwood hung and finished all the drywall. The walls came out perfectly smooth—ready for paint with no touch-ups needed. They were clean, on time, and easy to work with.
We needed about a dozen patches throughout the house after some electrical work. Crestwood matched the texture on every single one. Our painter said he couldn't tell where the patches were. That's exactly what you want to hear.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does drywall repair cost in Portland?
Most drywall repairs in Portland run between $150 and $500, depending on the size and complexity of the damage. Small patches (doorknob holes, nail pops) are on the lower end. Larger repairs involving water damage, multiple holes, or ceiling work cost more. We provide fixed-price proposals after assessing the damage in person.
How much does drywall installation cost per square foot?
Drywall installation in Portland typically costs $1.50 to $3.50 per square foot, including hanging, taping, mudding, and finishing. The final cost depends on ceiling height, number of corners and cutouts, finish level required, and accessibility. We include everything in our proposals—no hidden material or labor charges.
Can you match my existing wall texture?
Yes. Texture matching is one of the most important parts of any drywall repair. Portland homes have a wide range of textures—knockdown, orange peel, skip trowel, smooth, and older hand-applied styles. We match your existing texture so repairs blend seamlessly with the surrounding wall.
How long does drywall repair take?
A simple patch takes one visit. Larger repairs and finishing work typically take 2-3 days because joint compound needs to dry between coats. Full-room drywall installations take 3-7 days depending on room size and finish level. We provide specific timelines in your proposal.
Should I repair or replace water-damaged drywall?
If the drywall is soft, crumbling, discolored, or shows signs of mold, it needs to be replaced—not just patched over. We remove the damaged sections, inspect behind the wall for moisture and mold, and install fresh drywall. It's important to fix the water source first, which we can coordinate with your plumber.
Do you handle drywall work for remodeling projects?
Yes. We frequently handle drywall as part of larger remodeling projects—kitchen renovations, bathroom remodels, basement finishes, and room additions. Since we're a full-service home improvement company, we can handle the drywall alongside other trades for a smoother project.
What is a Level 5 drywall finish?
Level 5 is the highest quality drywall finish—a skim coat of joint compound applied over the entire surface, then sanded smooth. It eliminates any texture variation between joints and flat drywall. Level 5 is recommended for areas with critical lighting (like hallways with raking light) or high-gloss paint, where imperfections would show.
