Drywall Repair, Trim & Interior Painting in Fort Myers & Southwest Florida

Need drywall repair or a room repainted in Fort Myers? Most of what we fix is the everyday stuff: a doorknob hole in the hallway, a settling crack at a door header, a patch left over from a leak, a bedroom that needs fresh paint before the in-laws visit. We patch the hole, match the texture, prime, and paint so the seam disappears instead of telegraphing back through.

Smart Fix handles drywall repair and hole patching, trim and crown molding, door repairs and hanging, and interior painting across Fort Myers and Southwest Florida. The difference is the texture match: knockdown and orange-peel are on almost every SWFL wall, and we match them daily so a patch reads as wall, not a circle of fresh mud.

Drywall hole repair, patched and texture-matched

A typical drywall hole repair is a one-visit fix. We cut the damage back to clean edges, back it with a piece of board or a mesh-and-mud bridge depending on size, then feather the joint, match the surrounding texture, prime, and paint so the patch disappears.

Doorknob holes, anchor pull-outs, water-stained sections after a leak is fixed, and accessory damage all get the same treatment. We patch and finish drywall; if a job needs a drain line moved or a panel touched first, that's routed to our licensed-provider network.

Settling cracks on Lehigh Acres fill soil, fixed so they stay fixed

On newer construction in Lehigh Acres and parts of Cape Coral, the same cracks come back because the home is still settling on fill soil for two to three years after closing. They show up in predictable places:

• The top corner of a door header
• The long L-return in the great room
• The seam above a tall window

If the builder closed those with mesh tape and a skim of lightweight mud, they reopen by the next dry season. Mesh tape under topping compound has no tensile strength across a moving joint.

"We retape with paper tape (not mesh) and a setting-type compound, then feather and texture-match. The patch holds because the seam is structurally bonded again."

We feather the joint roughly 12 inches wide, match the existing knockdown or orange-peel, then prime and paint so it doesn't telegraph back through. See our settling-crack drywall work in Lehigh Acres, or tell us what's cracking and we'll come look.

Interior painting contractor work, crisp lines and clean walls

We paint rooms, whole interiors, trim, doors, and ceilings with careful cut-ins and brush-and-roll work that leaves sharp lines where wall meets trim. Painting almost always follows a patch, so we prime fresh drywall with a high-build primer before topcoat. That's the step that keeps a repaired wall from flashing in side light.

"Priming fresh drywall with a high-build primer before topcoat is the step that keeps a repaired wall from flashing in side light."

We move what we can and tarp what stays. Drop cloths go down, dust is contained, and you get a walkthrough at the end. We don't promise same-day whole-house repaints, because a finish that's worth doing needs the prep, cut-in, and dry time done right.

Trim, crown molding, and door work

Coped joints, level runs, and caulked transitions give crown and base molding sharp, professional lines. For doors, we shim and plane sticking slabs, align latches that won't catch, and swap full slab or pre-hung doors when a rehang won't hold.

Most trim and door fixes ride along with the drywall and paint in a single trip, so you're not booking three visits for one room.
