Drywall requires some care and attention. If it's neglected, it can break or crack, and in some cases it can be punctured. You can try to patch up these areas yourself, but often it's good to consider the services of a local drywall patching and repair specialist.

For very small cracks or holes, your drywall repair specialist will use fabric mesh across the area and then cover it with another compound that causes it to stay in place, making it resemble the original drywall. Some finishing work is also done in this area. The relative ease of this job is no reason to let your you kids punch your walls, but it's nice to know that drywall repair specialist can step in and fix any defect.
