No two holes are the same. Here's how Roland approaches each repair type - and why the texture match at the end matters more than the patch itself.
One of the most common calls Roland gets in New Braunfels. A door swings too hard and punches clean through. These holes are typically 2 to 4 inches wide and land right at handle height - a spot that gets noticed every single day. Roland cuts a clean repair, backs it properly, tapes and floats it flush, then blends the texture so the patch disappears completely.
New Braunfels sits on Comal County's clay-heavy soil, which expands and contracts with rainfall and drought. That seasonal movement transfers into your walls and ceilings as hairline cracks - especially along seams, corners, and around door frames. Roland embeds mesh tape, applies compound in thin coats, and feathers the repair wide enough that it won't re-crack with the next dry season.
TV mounts, shelving brackets, curtain rods, gallery walls - when they come down, they leave behind clusters of anchor holes, stripped patches, and sometimes crumbled drywall around the cavity. Roland fills, skims, and textures the entire affected area rather than just plugging individual holes, so the result looks intentional rather than patched.
Holes over 6 inches require a different approach than a simple patch kit. Roland cuts the damage back to the nearest studs, installs backing for solid support, hangs new drywall, tapes all four seams, applies multiple coats of joint compound, and sands everything flat before texturing. Renovation damage, furniture impacts, and plumber/electrician access cuts all fall into this category.
Every hole repair follows the same process. No shortcuts on any step - that's what makes the texture match look seamless.
Roland comes to you, assesses the damage, and gives a written price. No pressure, no call centers.
Floors and furniture get covered. Roland works cleanly and keeps your home tidy throughout the job.
Damage is cut back cleanly, backed correctly, and taped. No shortcuts on the foundation - it's what prevents future cracks.
Multiple coats of joint compound are applied and sanded flat between coats. Rushed compound work shows. Roland doesn't rush.
The repair is textured to match your existing wall - orange peel, knockdown, skip trowel, or smooth - and left paint-ready.
Before and after shots from real jobs in New Braunfels and surrounding areas.
Comal County's expansive clay soil shifts with every wet and dry cycle, translating into wall cracks that return if not repaired correctly with the right compound and tape.
Homes close to the river and Landa Park corridor see more moisture-related wall issues - soft spots, bubbled tape, and recurring cracks that need the right repair approach.
New Braunfels grew fast. Some newer construction in communities like Vintage Oaks and Meyer Ranch used thinner drywall that damages more easily and requires careful patching.
New Braunfels is one of the fastest-growing cities in Texas, and that growth brings a wide mix of home ages and construction types. Older homes in historic Gruene and downtown New Braunfels were often built with different drywall thicknesses and textures than the newer builds in Veramendi or Fischer Farm. That variation matters when it comes to texture matching - and it's where Roland's local experience shows.
Roland has repaired drywall in homes across every corner of the New Braunfels area - from cabins near Canyon Lake to tract homes off FM 306. He knows the common texture types used by the region's builders, understands how the area's soil affects settling patterns, and brings the right materials for each job. That local knowledge means fewer surprises and a better-looking repair.
We also serve homeowners throughout the I-35 corridor - including San Marcos, Seguin, Schertz, Canyon Lake, and San Antonio.

Holes under 6 inches can almost always be patched with a repair kit and backing. Larger holes, especially those close to seams or with crumbled edges, usually require cutting back to a stud and hanging new drywall. Roland will assess it and tell you honestly which approach makes sense - not just which one costs more.
Yes - texture matching is one of Roland's specialties. He works with orange peel, knockdown, skip trowel, and smooth finishes. The goal is always a seamless repair that disappears once painted. You won't be able to find it.
Never. When you book SS Drywall Repair, Roland is the person who shows up and does the work - every single time. No strangers from a crew, no subcontracted labor. That's how he maintains the quality his 136 five-star reviews are built on.
Usually no. Most hairline cracks in New Braunfels homes are cosmetic - caused by the area's clay-heavy soil expanding and contracting with seasonal moisture changes. Roland can take a look and tell you whether a crack is cosmetic or something that warrants a closer look by a structural professional.
