I am not the "fix-it" type. I have an hole in my son's room wall
that
has grown to about 12 inches at it's widest. What would it cost
to
have someone fix it for me?

Thank you,

In order to repair properly will require 2-4 trips. The actual
repair and material are nothing. Each coat of finish needs to dry
overnight. It will require at least 2 trips (may require a third)
with drywall compound, a third for paint

There are joint compounds that set in 15-20 minutes instead of
drying over night. A 12 inch hole can easily be repaired in a few
hours, including cleanup ... excluding paint.
