Easy Drywall Repair a Typical Home Improvement

haha, Yes...hate it when the neighbor's kid does that...thanks for the video!

THANKS I WILL===BOB

Wow, Thank you so much for that, short, simple and easy! Keep it up these vids are so helpfull

You are very welcome===Bob

Thanks so much for an expert and professionally-done video!

Ok, Thanks for helping out. My neighbour will renovate instead of a quick fix.
How about a video on installing an acrylic tub 60x30 alcove and then showing how to start the first set of tiles.

If I were doing a repair like that I would use a concrete-based board.Its not that much more expensive than plasterboard but will bond tile repair and protect wall from water penetration much better, even for a temporary repair.===Bob

My neighbour's shower/bath tiles fell from the wall. For a quick fix, until he renovates the bathroom totally, can he just install gyprock and tile over it? It's for an easy fix. will it last for about a year?
Thanks.

Thanks very much for this useful trick. But as long as we stay away from that spot, dont use it for anything, hanging pictures etc...Other than that, its great method. Thanks.

You are welcome and I would like to say its nice to hear people still take care of our more aged family and neighbors===Bob

Wow, i never knew how easy it was to patch a hole. I got a project im working at my parents house (they are too old to do it) and these tips(all your clips) have taught me a lot. Thanks

That's a very good idea! Thanks very much :)

The best advice I can give for a repair that large is to cut drywall back to existing framing,center of studs,install new dry in repair nail and screw .Use paper tape and drywall topping compound to finish.There are more detailed videos available to learn finishing techniques on youtube check them out===Bob

Amazing! :) Very instructive. Do you have a video on how to cover a much larger opening in a drywall? I want to fill in a 23" x 40" opening, and I know I need to brace it in the back, to be able to fix such a big piece of drywall, but just not sure how to start... Any advice is highly appreciated. Thanks.

I've used this method before and it works well.

This is a video on how to repair a hole, not prevent one. Maybe the hole happened some other way (duh).

That is great to hear a testimonial, much more convincing coming from a true novice! Thanks so much!---Bob

HomeRemodelWorkshop,

Just finished patching a 4x8 inch hole using this technique. I used a 1.5 inch paper overlap all the way around. Thanks for the great video: it really helped!!

The finished product looks like it was professionally repaired. I'm the kinda guy who goes to Home Depot once a year, so you did a great job with the instructions. Thanks again, and ignore the idiots!!

Also could have named the example,Don't bang your wall while moving furniture.This video is just one example of how to inexpensively repair minor drywall damage with very reliable results,always other alternatives this is just the one I have personnaly had best results withand I believe is pretty user friendly!Thanks for the post---Bob PS doorstop is always good idea.

How about a 99 cent door stopper in the molding on the floor? they also sell cheap patches at local hardware stores that eliminate a lot of these precautions like pushing in the drywall block in too far. ok video i guess...

Usually things like this happen at worst time.Good luck with repair---Bob

Wow! this is right on time. My friends needs help with door knob whole in her walls up and down stairs. She trying to sell her home and this is perfect! thanks

Sorry also mud extra paper right around corner---Bob--Inside corner I am assuming.

I personally wouldnt go any bigger than 10by 10 and at that I would even make the paper lap 3 inches to get more grabbing strength.Also I would wait 24 hours before coating.Take your time flushing up perimeter---Bob

Is there a limit on how big the hole is for this method? I've got a hole behind wallpaper estimated to be 5"x5", the perimeter drywall is crumbling so I'd like to repair it with a 10"x10" piece. It is right near a corner as well so I'm not sure if this would work.

Let me know how it goes---Bob
