Drywall repair done right across Columbia & Boone County
Tiger Drywall Repair is a locally owned drywall repair specialist serving Columbia, Ashland, Hallsville, Centralia, Fulton, Jefferson City and the rest of mid-Missouri. We focus on what most general contractors treat as a side job: invisible drywall hole and crack repair, water-damaged ceilings, popcorn ceiling removal and texture matching for knockdown, orange peel and smooth finishes. When the job is done right, you can't tell anything was ever wrong — here's what that looks like.
Before 
After Plumbing access hole
The plumber left the wall open. We closed it with a backed patch, three coats and a smooth blend — no ghost of the opening.
Before 
After Water-damaged ceiling
Soft board cut out, stain sealed so it never bleeds back, new drywall textured to match the rest of the ceiling.
Before 
After Ceiling opened for electrical
Closed up after the electrician, texture matched to the existing ceiling, fixture back in place.
Before 
After Popcorn ceiling patch
The hardest texture to blend. Patched and re-textured so the repair disappears into the rest of the ceiling.
The before-and-afters above come from the Kansas City family drywall business where we learned the trade — the standard every Columbia job is held to. Our own Columbia repairs get added here as we finish them.

Do you fix holes in apartments before a move-out inspection?
Yes — it is one of our most common jobs around Mizzou. Text a photo of each hole and your move-out date; we quote one flat price for the whole unit and get it patched, textured and primed before your walkthrough. Landlords and property managers get per-unit turnover pricing.
Are you insured, and is the work guaranteed?
Tiger Drywall Repair carries liability insurance for residential drywall work, and we stand behind every repair: if a patch ever telegraphs back through the paint, we come back and make it right at no charge.
Do you paint after the repair?
Our standard scope is repair and texture matching — the patch is left primed and ready for paint, which most homeowners roll themselves or hand to their painter. If you'd rather we spot-paint, ask and we'll quote it up front.
