About the Drywall Hole or Crack
Doorknobs, furniture, anchors and settling all leave marks in drywall. Small dents and cracks are quick to patch, and larger holes need a backing and a few thin coats of compound.
The secret to an invisible repair is wide feathering and painting the whole wall section, not just the patch.
