Larger or more extensive damage increases repair costs due to additional materials and labor.
Simple patching is less costly than replacing entire drywall sections.
Repairs in hard-to-reach areas or high ceilings may incur higher labor costs.

Factors such as the complexity of the repair, accessibility of the site, and the need for finishing touches like texturing and painting further impact the total expense.

Proper preparation and choosing quality materials can also affect the durability and appearance of the repair, influencing long-term satisfaction and maintenance needs.
Repairs inside walls may involve removing sections of drywall, patching, and refinishing, with costs varying based on size.
