A wall a plumber or electrician opened in Manchester, NH
Somebody else made the hole
Trades cut holes. It is unavoidable — you cannot chase a leak, rewire a circuit or fit a bath fan without opening something — and most of them will tell you honestly that closing it back up is not their trade. That is the call we get: the work is finished, the wall or ceiling is not.
Rewiring an old house makes a lot of them
Pre-war Manchester houses that still have knob-and-tube wiring get opened up in a dozen places when they are brought up to date, because the electrician has to reach the framing bays to pull new cable. Those are usually holes in plaster rather than board, they are scattered across several rooms, and they want somebody who works in plaster rather than a board patcher. Doing all of them in one visit is significantly cheaper than one at a time.
Neat rectangles are a gift
If the trade cut a clean square with straight edges, they have made the repair meaningfully easier and cheaper, and it is worth asking them to do that rather than tearing an opening. Better still, ask them to cut so the edges land over framing where possible. Most will happily oblige if somebody asks before the work rather than after.
Before it closes
Photograph what is inside the wall — pipe runs, cable, shut-off valves — before anybody covers it. You will want that picture in five years and nobody ever takes it. And if there is an access panel that would genuinely be useful, this is the moment to fit one instead of a permanent patch.
