Painters Lane LLC provides drywall repair and installation services throughout Minneapolis, Edina, Hopkins, and the Twin Cities metro. Because we're both painters and drywall pros, we can handle the repair and the paint match in one visit — which means no juggling multiple contractors and no second trip to paint over the patch.

We do everything from small nail holes to large section replacements. Texture matching is one of the trickier parts of drywall repair — getting the new patch to blend invisibly with the surrounding wall — and it's something we're genuinely good at. Whether your walls have an orange peel, knockdown, skip trowel, or smooth finish, we'll match it.

Our Drywall Repair Process

Assess the Damage

We look at what needs fixing, check for any underlying moisture issues, and give you an honest quote.

Remove & Prep

Damaged drywall is cut out cleanly. The area is prepped for the new material or compound.

Patch & Skim

New drywall or joint compound is applied and feathered out. Multiple thin coats are better than one thick one — this is where patience matters.

Sand & Texture

Once dry, we sand smooth and apply texture to match the surrounding wall. This is the hardest part to get right — we take our time.

Prime & Paint to Match

Repairs are primed and painted to match your existing wall color. Done right, the repair is invisible.

Frequently Asked Questions — Drywall

Yes — texture matching is something we do on almost every drywall repair job. We can match orange peel, knockdown, skip trowel, and smooth finishes. Older, heavily textured walls can sometimes be trickier, but we'll give you an honest read on how close we can get before we start.

Most cracks in Minnesota homes are from normal settling and seasonal movement — houses expand and contract with our temperature swings. Hairline cracks at door corners and ceiling joints are very common and mostly cosmetic. Wide cracks, cracks that reappear quickly, or cracks with stair-step patterns in brick could indicate a structural issue worth investigating.

Yes, but only after the source of the water is fixed first. Patching over an active leak just delays the problem. Once we confirm the source is resolved, we'll cut out the damaged material, replace it, and finish to match. We can also check for mold during this process and recommend next steps if we find it.

Yes. We handle everything from patching a doorknob hole to hanging and finishing new drywall for a basement build-out or addition. If you need taping, mudding, and a paint-ready finish, we can take it all the way to done.

Small repairs can be done in a few hours. Larger section replacements or new installations may take 2–3 days when you factor in drying time between coats of mud. We'll give you a realistic timeline when we come out to estimate.
