I DO DRYWALL · SMALL REPAIRS WELCOME
Drywall repair after plumbing or electrical work.
The plumbing or electrical job may be finished while the wall still has an opening. I Do Drywall repairs access cutouts in walls and ceilings, from one small patch to openings across several rooms. Mike helps plan the drywall work and finish once the area is ready to close.
I Do Drywall is the drywall brand of MS Painting and Drywall Inc. Mike handles estimates and the work.
Serving these Florida communities and the surrounding area: Daytona Beach, Ormond Beach, Port Orange, New Smyrna Beach, DeLand, Deltona, Orange City.
THE REPAIR SCOPE
From the damaged area to the agreed finish.
- Wall and ceiling cutouts left by completed plumbing or electrical work
- Board repair or replacement around an agreed opening
- Joint taping and finishing across the repair and its edges
- Texture blending and a clear handoff for any agreed priming or painting
BEFORE WORK BEGINS
Can the opening be closed now?
First confirm with the relevant trade that the work is complete, any required checks or inspections are satisfied, and no further access is needed. A permanent patch should not cover something that must remain accessible. Tell Mike if the trade has specified an access panel or another opening that must stay available.
Discuss your repair with Mike

One opening after a finished repair
Describe the location, approximate size and surrounding surface. An opening near a cabinet, corner or fixture can need a different finishing plan from a patch in the middle of an open wall. Say whether a temporary cover is currently in place.
Several openings across different rooms
Make a short room-by-room list rather than treating every hole as the same job. For each area, note wall or ceiling, smooth or textured finish, and whether the trade has released it for closure. This separates ready areas from those still awaiting work.
An opening made to reach a leak
The plumbing repair and the drywall repair are different jobs. Confirm that the source has been corrected and necessary cleanup, drying and remediation are complete. A repaired pipe alone does not establish that every surrounding material is ready to be covered.
A clear handoff between you, the trade and Mike
- Ask the plumber or electrician: Is the work complete, does anything still need inspection, and must any part remain accessible? Confirm who is responsible for arranging required inspections.
- Tell Mike which openings are ready and which are not. If an access panel is specified, agree who supplies and installs it instead of assuming the opening will be permanently patched.
- For a managed property, name the person authorizing the repair and arrange lawful access with the occupant or property contact. Discuss furniture and work-area protection before the visit.
- Agree what happens after the drywall work: texture, primer, paint and any trim or fixture work. Each part should have a named owner and an agreed scope.
Close the opening with the rest of the room in mind
The visible finishing area usually extends beyond the cutout. Discuss nearby corners, cabinet edges and changes in texture before deciding where the repair ends. If new cabinets or fixtures will cover part of the area, explain which surfaces will remain visible and which will remain accessible. Mike can then discuss the drywall finish that fits the actual room.
Keeping an existing pattern? See our texture matching service, or discuss the surface directly with Mike.
Start with a practical repair estimate
When you call, start with your town, the trade that made the opening and whether its work is complete. Add the number of openings, their approximate sizes, wall or ceiling locations and desired finish. If you already have photos, ask Mike how to share them during the call; there is no need to expose wiring or disturb the opening to prepare an inquiry.
Call Mike at (386) 868-7726 to explain the work and discuss the next step.
Questions before you book
Can I call before the plumber or electrician is finished?
Yes. You can discuss the future drywall work with Mike while planning the handoff. Explain what remains unfinished. Closure and scheduling still depend on readiness, any required inspections and actual availability.
Do you handle the plumbing or electrical repair too?
This service is for the drywall repair and finishing. Arrange plumbing, electrical and related inspection work with the appropriate trade. Tell Mike what has been completed so the drywall scope is clear.
Do all the patches need the same finish?
No. A smooth bedroom wall, a textured ceiling and an opening behind a cabinet can have different requirements. List them separately and discuss the visible finish and any required continuing access for each.
Is painting included, and can the room be finished in one visit?
Neither should be assumed. Discuss priming and painting with Mike as explicit parts of the estimate. Materials, drying and the number of repairs affect the sequence; a small opening does not automatically mean a one-visit finish.
