Move-Out & Rental Turnover Drywall Repair in Columbia, MO.
Lease ending in a student apartment near campus? Turning over twenty units the first week of August? We patch holes, anchor marks and dings fast and flat-rate — usually for less than the per-hole charge on a move-out statement — across Columbia and Boone County.
Move-Out & Rental Turnover Repair in Columbia, MO — done so well you can't find the repair
Columbia runs on a lease calendar. Tens of thousands of students move out of apartments, houses and Greek housing in late July and move into new ones in August, and every one of those walls gets inspected. A move-out statement will list every doorknob hole, TV-mount hole, shelf anchor and scuff at a per-item charge that is almost always higher than a professional patch — and a bad DIY spackle job often gets charged anyway because it's obvious.
We built this service for both sides of that inspection. For tenants: one visit, every hole in the unit patched, textured and primed, flat-rate, before your walkthrough. For landlords and property managers: a reliable turnover crew that sweeps a unit for holes, pops and dings, patches everything in one pass, and gets it paint-ready on your schedule — with per-unit pricing for multi-unit turnovers. We work with individual landlords, small management companies and larger complexes around the Mizzou campus and across Columbia.

What we fix
What a Turnover Visit Covers
One visit, everything patched:
-
Doorknob holes
The classic. Cut, backed, patched and textured — not a stick-on patch that shows through the paint.
-
TV-mount, shelf and picture-hanger holes
Clusters of anchor and lag-bolt holes filled and blended so there's no ghost of what hung there.
-
Dings, dents and scuffs
Furniture dents, bike-handlebar gouges and scraped corners skimmed flat.
-
Nail pops and settling cracks
Swept and fixed in the same visit so the unit shows clean at inspection or listing photos.
-
Larger damage
Fist holes, door-through-the-wall damage and the occasional water stain, patched and texture-matched.
-
Paint-ready or painted
We leave everything primed and ready for the turnover painter, or we can spot-paint with your paint on request.
For tenants: text us photos of the damage and your move-out date and we'll quote it the same day. For landlords and property managers: send a unit list and we'll set up a standing turnover schedule with one flat price per unit size.
Our process
How a Turnover Visit Works
Built around move-out deadlines:
- 01
Text photos, get a flat price
Send photos of every hole and your deadline. We quote flat-rate the same day and book a slot before your inspection or listing date.
- 02
One visit, every spot
We walk the unit, mark every hole, pop and ding, and repair all of them in one pass — backed patches for holes, skim for dents, texture matched to the existing walls.
- 03
Primed and inspection-ready
Every repair is primed so it doesn't flash through paint. Larger patches that need a second coat get a quick return visit the next day.
Pricing
What Move-Out Drywall Repair Costs in Columbia, MO
A typical move-out visit for an apartment or student rental in Columbia runs $149–$399 for all the small holes, anchor marks and dings in the unit — priced as one flat number, not per hole. Larger holes are added at our standard patch rates. Compare that with a move-out statement that charges per hole, and it usually pays for itself on the first two.
Landlords and property managers get per-unit pricing for multi-unit turnovers, and we can hold August slots for complexes that book ahead. Every quote is free and flat-rate.
FAQ
Move-Out & Rental Turnover Repair: common questions
Is it cheaper to fix the holes myself before moving out?
A tube of spackle is cheap, but an obvious patch with the wrong texture usually gets charged anyway. A professional visit patches every hole in the unit flat-rate, textured and primed, and usually costs less than two or three per-hole deductions.
How fast can you get to my apartment before my inspection?
During move-out season we book several visits a day around campus. Text photos and your deadline and we'll give you a flat price and a time slot the same day. Booking a week ahead is safest in late July.
Do you work with landlords and property management companies?
Yes — standing turnover schedules, per-unit flat pricing and one point of contact. Send a unit list and dates and we will set it up.
What areas do you cover for rental repairs?
All of Columbia including downtown, East Campus, the apartments along Providence, Stadium, Grindstone and Old 63, plus Ashland, Hallsville, Centralia, Fulton, Jefferson City and the rest of our service area.
Will the patch match the apartment's texture?
Yes — most Columbia rentals have orange peel or light knockdown walls, and we match both. The patch is primed so the turnover painter can roll straight over it.
