        "text": "The duration of a drywall patch repair depends on the size and complexity of the damage. A small hole might be patched within a few hours of active work. However, the process often includes multiple applications of joint compound, each requiring several hours to dry thoroughly before the next coat or sanding can occur. This means a complete repair, including drying time, can span one to three days to ensure proper adhesion and a durable, smooth finish. We factor in these drying times when scheduling your project.",
