Drywall Repair in Pocatello, Idaho – Reliable, Local, and Done Right by Twiss Construction
Let’s be honest — no one wakes up excited to deal with a wall full of drywall cracks or small holes. But when life happens (and it always does), you’ll want a local team who knows how to repair drywall the right way, clean, strong, smooth, and Idaho-code compliant.
That’s exactly what we do here at Twiss Construction, right here in Pocatello.
We don’t just fix walls, we restore comfort, security, and that “brand new home” feeling.
Why Proper Drywall Repair Matters for Your Home
Think of your drywall as your home’s skin, it protects everything behind it. Once it’s damaged, you risk letting in moisture, pests, and cold air that can drive up your heating bills. And in Idaho’s climate, that’s no joke.
A simple patch might seem enough, but proper drywall repair involves fill, sand, and paint steps to restore the surface and keep your walls sturdy and safe.
That’s where our professional tools, high-quality materials, and skilled hands come in.
Common Problems That Call for Drywall Repair
Every home tells a story through its walls. But when that story includes holes, cracks, or damage, it’s time to call in the experts. Here are the usual suspects:
- Drywall cracks from foundation shifts, Idaho’s freeze-thaw cycles, or even minor quakes.
- Small holes left from wall mounts, nails, or, let’s face it, a few accidents during move-in day.
- Other damage like bubbling paint, uneven surfaces, or badly done DIY repairs.
- Popped screws, dented corners, or patching holes that just won’t blend.
We’ve seen it all — and we’ve repaired it all. Whether your issue is minor or major, Twiss Construction has the plan, tools, and local experience to get your wall back to perfection.
Our Step-by-Step Process for Professional Drywall Repair
Step 1: Full Inspection and Trace the Damage
Before we touch anything, we trace every crack and mark to figure out what caused it. Sometimes drywall cracks are just cosmetic; other times, they point to a bigger structural issue. We’ll let you know upfront.
Step 2: Cutting Out the Damaged Piece
We use precision cutting techniques to remove the damaged piece of drywall.
Using professional tools, we make clean edges so the patch fits snugly. Idaho’s Uniform Building Code (IBC 2018) requires that we keep insulation intact and maintain vapor barriers — and we do exactly that.
Step 3: Patching Holes and Filling Gaps
For patching holes, we measure the size and place the patch perfectly.
We fill gaps with spackling compound, apply joint compound, and layer it to match the surface texture of your existing wall. We don’t believe in quick fixes — we build long-lasting ones.
Step 4: Sand, Smooth, and Apply
Next comes the satisfying part — we sand, apply, and smooth everything down using professional-grade sandpaper. Each layer dries (dry time is crucial here), gets sanded, and is rechecked for perfect blending.
No rough edges, no weird bumps — just flawless walls.
Step 5: Paint, Review, and Complete the Project
Finally, we paint and review every inch. We check lighting angles, shadows, and surface consistency. Only when it looks like nothing ever happened do we call it complete.
Your wall ends up looking so good you’ll probably forget which side we repaired.

Idaho Construction Standards: Why We’re the Experts You Can Trust
We don’t just show up with spackling and a smile — we bring expertise rooted in Idaho’s building codes and local Pocatello regulations.
Here’s what sets our drywall repair apart:
- Compliant with Idaho Statute §39-4109, ensuring all walls meet fire resistance and safety standards.
- We follow City of Pocatello Building Department guidelines for interior wall modifications.
- Every repair project maintains energy efficiency and security by restoring full wall integrity.
- We use materials approved for Idaho’s temperature fluctuations, so your patch doesn’t crack again next winter.
That’s how we combine craftsmanship with local authority knowledge — keeping your home both beautiful and compliant.
DIY vs. Professional Drywall Repair in Pocatello
We get it — you might be tempted to grab a video tutorial, a tub of spackling, and try it yourself.
And for small holes, sure, you might manage a simple patch. But here’s where DIY often goes wrong:
- Drywall cracks reappear because they weren’t properly filled.
- Uneven surface due to over-sand or wrong materials.
- Poor paint matching that makes the repair stand out.
- Missed issues behind the wall (like leaks or blocked airflow).
If you’re unable to get that clean, smooth finish — it’s time to let us take action.
We’ll decide the best approach, apply the right methods, and get it done right the first time.
Drywall Cracks — Why They Happen and How We Fix Them
In Pocatello, drywall cracks usually come from seasonal changes, when temperatures drop or rise too quickly, walls expand and contract. We measure, cut, and tape the area, then use the right joint compound to strengthen the joints and prevent future cracking.
We also check for any deeper issues — like framing stress or humidity buildup, before finishing the repair.
