Professional Drywall Repair in Oxford, MS
Holes, cracks, water damage, texture mismatch — TAV Construction patches sheetrock so cleanly your painter won't know we were there. Serving Oxford and all of Lafayette County.

Seamless Sheetrock Patching and Hole Repair
A doorknob punched through the wall. Moving furniture left a gouge. A previous owner's TV mount left four anchors and a crater. Whatever made the hole, TAV Construction patches it so the wall looks like nothing ever happened — because in a properly finished interior, the repair is invisible.
Invisible repairs start with proper backing. Small holes get mesh and compound. Anything over two inches gets a backing board or California patch so the new material can't flex, crack, or telegraph through paint. We don't skip steps because we know what a painter will see when they roll the next coat — and we make sure it's a flat, primed surface, not a shadow.
For large-scale damage — water-blown ceilings, structural settling cracks, or sections that need full panel replacement — we cut back to the nearest stud or joist, install blocking, and hang new board with proper fastener spacing. The seam tape and three-coat mud process that follows is the same whether the damaged area is a square foot or a full wall. No shortcuts in the finish stage.
- Doorknob and impact holes — backed, mudded, and textured to match the surrounding wall surface.
- Large-area panel replacement — precision cuts to the nearest structural member with blocking installed before the new board hangs.
- Level 5 finishing integration — for high-end interiors where gloss paint or raking light would reveal any imperfection.
- Zero-seam guarantee — we feather and sand until no edge is detectable under a flashlight at an angle.
What We Repair
Nail Pops & Screw Dimples
Driven back, counter-sunk, and filled — including the underlying cause so they don't reappear next season.
Hairline & Settling Cracks
Tape-reinforced compound fills over fiberglass mesh, sanded in three coats, primed, and textured to match.
Anchor & Mount Holes
TV mounts, shelving brackets, towel bars — we fill, prime, and blend so the wall is paint-ready.
Water-Damaged Sections
Demo of compromised material, stain-blocking primer on framing, moisture-resistant board where appropriate, finished to match.
Full Panel Sections
Cut to nearest studs, new blocking installed, 5/8" or 1/2" board hung, taped, mudded, and textured to an invisible seam.
Oxford's Texture Matching Specialists
A perfect patch that doesn't match the surrounding texture is still a failed repair. TAV Construction replicates North Mississippi's most common interior textures — by hand or by spray — so the repair disappears into the wall rather than announcing itself.
Texture Identification
Before a sprayer or trowel touches the wall, we identify the existing texture method — knockdown, orange peel, popcorn, skip trowel, or smooth — and mix or calibrate our tools to match. We test on backing board before committing to the live surface.
Dust-Controlled Sanding
Mississippi humidity makes fine drywall dust cling to everything. We use vacuum-assisted sanders and plastic sheeting to contain particulate at the work zone — protecting your furniture, HVAC filters, and the air quality of the rest of the house during the repair.
Ready-for-Paint Delivery
Every repair leaves the site with a prime coat applied. Your painter steps in with a flat, sealed, properly textured surface — no additional prep required. We don't consider a job complete until the primed surface reads as one continuous wall under a work light.
Common Oxford-Area Textures We Match
| Texture Type | Method | Difficulty |
|---|---|---|
| Knockdown | Spray & trowel knock | Moderate |
| Orange Peel | Hopper spray | Low–Moderate |
| Popcorn / Acoustic | Aggregate spray | Moderate |
| Skip Trowel | Hand trowel, irregular passes | High |
| Smooth / Level 5 | Skim coat & block sand | Highest |
Repair Pricing for Oxford Homeowners
Drywall repair in Oxford ranges from $350 for small patches to $1,200+ for multi-room or structural repairs. Factors that move the estimate:
- Hole size and count: Small (<2"), medium (2–6"), and large (>6") each require different backing methods.
- Texture complexity: Skip trowel and popcorn carry a matching premium over basic knockdown.
- Water damage: Demo, mold inspection, and moisture-resistant board add to the scope.
- Multi-room volume: We discount grouped repairs on the same job — one mobilization, multiple fixes.
- Level 5 finish: High-end interiors with gloss paint or dramatic lighting require full skim coat — priced accordingly.

Most drywall repair is invisible work — when it's done right, nobody notices. When it's done wrong, every time the light hits that wall at an angle you see the patch. TAV Construction has been doing invisible work in Oxford and North Mississippi long enough to know which shortcuts cause that problem and which steps prevent it.
We don't skip the backing board to save time. We don't do two coats when three are needed. We don't blow texture over a surface that isn't fully cured. And we don't hand off a wall that hasn't been primed and light-tested. That's what separates a professional drywall repair from one that looks fine for six months and then starts to show.
Lafayette County's humidity is a factor most out-of-town contractors underestimate. Mud needs time to cure properly here — especially in summer. We schedule accordingly and use fast-setting compound only when the repair size and conditions genuinely support it, not as a blanket shortcut.
For homeowners prepping for a sale, finishing a renovation, or finally fixing damage that's been bothering them for years: we come to you, assess the scope, give you a flat-rate quote, and get it done right the first time. No return visits because the texture didn't match. No visible seams in the next coat of paint.
