Even if it's a small hole , you are calling out a tradesman to do a job. I have a 2 hour minimum regardless of how small the job is. How else could they account for driving to your house and back to the next job. -However, I will tell you how to do your own repairs. If it is truly small, less than postage stamp size, get a caulk gun, a tube of 'Alex ll' and a small plastic spatula. Caulk the Alex into the hole, then immediately smooth it over with the spatula. Now leave it 24 hours to dry and shrink, then give a second coat. this time be careful to leave no ridges or visible edges. After this dries use a good primer on it. - - If the hole is more than 3-4 inches, don't despair, we just use different stuff. In this case get a kit called 'Fibatape Crackstop' and a small bucket of drywall compound (both from Home Depot ) -The kit has full instructions and I don't need to repeat . This way you have the satisfaction of doing a job yourself AND saving 80-100 dollars.
