Repair Sheetrock

How much to repair a hole in sheetrock?

This picture shows the finished sheetrock after the hole has been repaired, the wall has been retextured, primed and painted.  The problem with calculating a cost for this type of job is that the handyman or contractor always requires at least two visits to complete the work.

Low estimate for materials and labor might apply if this job is performed along with other jobs on the same site to reduce the "trip" charges a contractor might add:
  • Drywall repair patch
  • Sheetrock spray on texture
  • Primer and paint
  • Labor 1.5 hours
High estimate for materials and labor if additional trip charges apply:
  • Drywall repair patch
  • Sheetrock spray on texture
  • Primer and paint
  • Labor 3.0 hours

If you are a contractor or a handyman, what would you estimate to do this job?
