Getting and comparing quotes
Drywall repairs often take several visits for coats to dry, so ask how the job is priced (per patch, per sheet or by the hour) and whether paint is included.
Red flags
- Closes up wet walls
- Won't say whether paint is included
- No plan for dust
- Can't show patches they've done
