I have never had good luck finding people willing to do drywall work. As a result I’ve gotten good at it and I’m teaching my oldest son (who now has a project since he jumped and out his head through our ceiling). The issue with dry wall is it’s at a bare minimum a 2 visit job. Nobody wants that hassle when thetr is so much demand for work out there.

Yep, this is the problem. Fixing nail pops is quick and easy, which means it’s not worth the time of a good handy person unless it’s either packaged with something else or they change a significant minimum to come out.

Also, we have no way to give you a good estimate because we don’t know how many mail pops you are talking about.


Its not that quick if it requires a few coats of mud than paint.
