Drywall repair services are becoming more popular these days because they are easier to handle, cheaper and faster than conventional drywall plaster. Repairing drywall with traditional drywall plaster is much slower and much more expensive compared to drywall repair with joint compound. It takes much more time to dry and usually it does not take applying multiple layers of coating. Also, it is fire retardant.

With painting, you can end up spreading around some of the material which will make it look messy and dirty. In case of repairs, you have a clean surface to work with.
The cost for drywall repairs and installations is considerably lower when compared to painting. Painting has to be done once and there is no scope of doing it again. You also have to carry out the painting job yourself and if things go wrong, it becomes impossible to remove. On the other hand, with drywall repairs and installations, the house remains intact and the painting job is easily carried out by a competent company.
There is very little or no damage caused to the walls during drywall repair services. Even if there is some bit of damage, repairing the same is quite easy and does not take much time. The cost involved is also much lower as compared to other repairs.
When it comes to painting, minor damages are easy to fix. You can use repair tape to patch minor cracks or small holes. If the damage is a bit larger, then you can opt for repairing the wall either by painting or filler. Even if the wall is completely damaged, you can easily replace the damaged portions by using drywall repair services. It is not difficult to replace damaged sections of walls.
A major problem associated with painting walls repair services is ripping of the damaged section. If you have used drywall paint and the damage is severe, you can easily rip out the damaged portion of the wall using a trowel. However, in cases where ripping of a section is not possible, you need to put up with the damaged portion of the wall remaining. This is because repairing the entire damaged area of the wall costs a lot more than just replacing one section of wall.
