Should You Repair Drywall Before Painting?

Fresh paint tends to highlight, not hide, uneven repairs. Addressing surface defects first gives the finish coat a better chance to look consistent.

Minor defects

Small nail holes, dents and shallow damage are usually addressed with filling, sanding and spot priming.

Larger repairs

Bigger holes or damaged sections may need new drywall, tape, joint compound and texture work before painting.

Recurring cracks

A crack that repeatedly returns may need investigation beyond cosmetic patching.
