Drywall repair and installation in Utah County
We hang, tape, finish, and texture-match drywall so the wall disappears into the room. Patches, full rooms, and basement board. Finish level is specified: Level 4 for most painted interiors, Level 5 where raking light or gloss demands a skim.

In short
Wasatch Finish hangs and repairs drywall in Highland, Alpine, American Fork, Lehi, Draper, Sandy, and South Jordan, Utah. The work: new board, taping, Level 4 or Level 5 finish, and matching knockdown or orange-peel texture. Plumbing, electrical, and load-bearing changes are referred to licensed trades.
What’s included
- Hanging new board on interior walls and ceilings
- Taping, mudding, and sanding
- Level 4 paint-ready finish
- Level 5 skim where the scope lists it
- Knockdown and orange-peel texture matching
- Patch, crack, and nail-pop repair
- Prime-ready surface for paint
- Dust control and protection of adjacent rooms
Drywall work is finish work, from a single patch to full rooms. We hang and finish around existing mechanicals; we do not move pipes, wires, or ducts. Water-source repairs and mold remediation are referred to the trades that own those problems. Paint can be a related scope or a separate visit.

Level 4 is the usual paint-ready wall. Level 5 adds a skim over the whole field for gloss, dark color, or critical light. We write the level on the quote so you are not paying for a skim you do not need, or skipping one you do.
Texture is part of the repair
A smooth oval on a knockdown wall is an unfinished patch. Matching spray is in the scope for Wasatch Front interiors unless you ask for a full retexture of the room.
Patches through full rooms
The same sequence — board, tape, coats, texture — applies to a doorknob hole and to a basement of new rock. Scale changes; the finish standard does not.
Stop when the cavity is a trade problem
If opening a patch shows wet board, live wiring, or a leak, we stop and refer that system. Closing a wall over an active problem is not a repair.
Where the number comes from.
- Square footage of board plus how many corners, soffits, and angled ceilings — cut-up rooms take far more taping time than open walls.
- Finish level: a paint-ready Level 4 versus a Level 5 skim coat for raking light or gloss paint is a real labor jump.
- Texture type and whether we match existing — blending knockdown or orange-peel into a patch is fussier than re-texturing a room.
- Patch vs. full room: holes and seams are quick; full hang/tape/finish of a room or basement adds board, mud coats, and dry time.
- Ceiling height and stairwell or vaulted access — anything past a standard ladder needs staging and slows the finishing.
- Existing damage prep: cutting back stained or cracked board, fixing popped screws, and feathering old textures before new work.
Licensed trades, one schedule
Some of this work needs its own license. We say which parts at the walkthrough and line those trades up:
- Moving pipes, wiring, panels, or ducts behind a wall — we hang and finish around them but refer that to the licensed trade.
- Finding and fixing the source of water damage; we repair the drywall once the right pro resolves the leak or grading.
- Mold remediation behind compromised board — that goes to a licensed remediation specialist before we close the wall.
- Load-bearing or structural changes, and any opening cut into a foundation wall — referred to a licensed contractor.
- Whole-house or exterior repaint; we prime and seal patches, but full-room painting is a separate scope.

From the first message to the last touch-up.
- 01
See the wall
We check damage, texture, light, and whether the job is a patch or a hang. Finish level is chosen here, not after sanding.
- 02
Written finish scope
Rooms, square footage, Level 4 or Level 5, texture type, and whether paint is included. You approve that before board comes in.
- 03
Hang and tape
Board goes on. Tape and the first coats go on with dry time between them. We do not rush mud.
- 04
Finish and texture
Sand, check in the room's real light, then texture-match. Level 5 skim, if specified, happens before texture or paint as the spec requires.
- 05
Prime-ready handoff
The surface is handed off for paint, either as our related painting scope or to you. We walk the field for ridges and missed fasteners.
- Timeline
- A small patch is often two visits because mud dries. A full room of new board is several days of labor spread over a longer calendar for coats. Ceilings and Level 5 add time. Typical, not promised.
- Permits
- Repairing a hole or hanging board in an already-finished room is usually finish work and does not, by itself, need a permit. Drywall that is part of a basement finish or a layout change is inside that project's building permit. Electrical and plumbing behind the wall stay on those trades' permits.
The standard we finish to
See the work
Smooth walls, clean ceilings, custom work.
From one hole to a whole ceiling, the same sequence and the same standard: board, tape, coats, texture or skim, and a surface that takes paint evenly.
Popcorn ceiling removal
Scraped, skimmed and finished smooth or re-textured, then primed for paint. If the home’s age calls for testing the coating, that goes to the right professional before we scrape.
Knockdown & orange-peel matching
Patches sprayed to match the wall or ceiling around them, so the repair disappears under paint instead of showing as a smooth oval.
Smooth walls (skim coat)
Textured walls skim-coated to a Level 5 smooth finish for modern rooms, darker colors and walls that catch light from the side.
Holes, cracks & nail pops
Doorknob holes, settling cracks and popped screws cut back, taped and finished flush, ready for paint.
Media walls & custom ceilings
TV walls, fireplace walls, tray and coffered ceilings and LED channels, framed and finished in drywall.
Basement drywall
New board in a basement finish, hung after the rough inspections and finished paint-ready.

Drywall Installation & Repair, answered.
What is a Level 4 drywall finish versus Level 5?
Level 4 is tape plus multiple coats of compound on joints and fasteners, sanded, ready for flat or light texture and typical wall paint. Level 5 is that work plus a skim coat over the entire surface, used for gloss, dark color, or critical lighting. We specify the level on the quote. Source: Gypsum Association GA-214.
Can you match knockdown or orange-peel texture?
Yes. Matching sprayed knockdown and orange-peel is part of a complete repair on Wasatch Front interiors. Older or hand-applied textures may not disappear from a small patch, and we say that before spraying.
How much does drywall repair cost?
Our repairs start from about $250. 2026 national averages sit near $612, with small holes lower and large cut-in patches higher. Texture, ceilings, and paint change the number. A written quote after seeing the wall is the price.
How long does drywall work take?
A patch is often two visits because coats must dry. Full rooms take longer. Level 5 and ceilings add calendar time. The quote states the window.
Do you hang drywall in unfinished basements?
Yes, as interior finishing, usually as part of a permitted basement finish. Board goes on after rough inspections. We do not cover uninspected electrical or plumbing.
Do you repair water-damaged drywall?
We replace and finish the board after the moisture source is resolved by the licensed trade that owns it. We do not fix the leak as a drywall item.
Is popcorn ceiling removal in scope?
Yes, as ceiling refinishing when the material is not a regulated abatement problem. Testing for hazardous coatings, if required, is referred to the right professional before we scrape.
Do you paint after drywall?
Yes, as a related interior-painting scope when you want one crew. Paint can also wait. Primer on new mud is what prevents flashing either way.
