Drywall repair in River Oaks is its own kind of work, because River Oaks is older and finer than most of Houston. Many of these homes predate 1960, which means a good number of the walls are plaster and lath rather than gypsum board, and a standard drywall patch fails on plaster. The finishes are higher-end too, often smooth walls and glossy paint under big windows, which is the most unforgiving surface there is. Every flaw shows at four in the afternoon.
That is exactly the work we are built for: a repair that disappears, matched in texture or skimmed glass-smooth to a Level 5 finish where the light demands it. More than ten years in and over 4,300 jobs done, with a flat price in writing before any work starts.
Historic walls and plaster repair
The older sections of River Oaks feature homes built between the 1920s and 1950s. The walls in these historic properties are rarely standard drywall. They are constructed using traditional plaster applied over wood or metal lath.
When a plumber or electrician cuts into these walls, standard drywall repair methods will not work. A modern gypsum patch applied directly to old plaster will eventually crack and separate due to different expansion rates. We use specific bonding agents and setting-type compounds to tie new repairs into historic plaster.
Luxury homes also tend to use high-gloss paints or custom wallcoverings that highlight the slightest wall imperfection. We provide Level 5 finishing so the repaired surface is perfectly smooth and structurally sound.

Questions
Drywall Repair in River Oaks, TX, answered.
How much does drywall repair cost in River Oaks?
It depends on the size, whether the board has to be replaced, and how much texture matching the wall needs. As a typical Houston range, a small patch runs about $275 to $350 and a service visit starts around $175 to $225, with additional small patches bundled cheaper on the same trip. You get a flat number in writing before any work starts.
My River Oaks home has plaster walls, not drywall. Can you still help?
Yes, and it matters that you asked. A lot of pre-1960 River Oaks homes are plaster and lath, which is thicker and bonds differently than drywall, so a standard gypsum patch fails on it. We repair plaster as plaster and drywall as drywall. A contractor who does not ask about the wall type on an older home has not seen enough of them.
Can you do a flawless smooth finish under bright windows?
Yes. Smooth walls and glossy or semi-gloss paint under raking light show every imperfection, which is why those surfaces get a Level 5 finish, a thin skim coat over the whole area, sanded perfectly flat. It is more work and it costs more, and on a high-end River Oaks wall it is usually exactly what the light requires.
Is sheetrock the same as drywall?
Yes. Sheetrock is a brand name that Houston, like most of Texas, uses for all gypsum board. Sheetrock repair and drywall repair are the same job, and we do both, by either name.
Which areas near River Oaks do you cover?
River Oaks and the surrounding inner-loop neighborhoods, including Tanglewood, Memorial, the Museum District, and West University. If you are nearby and not sure, call and ask.
