Hole in drywall

Answer: call a handyman.

Holes in drywall — from doorknob impacts, accidental damage, or removed fixtures — are unsightly and weaken the wall surface. A handyman can patch small to medium holes with mesh tape and joint compound, or cut in a new section for larger damage, leaving a smooth surface ready for paint.
