This has definitely been an informative video. I have a hole in the ceiling in my garage that's been there since 2018. I have tried to tackle it and now i know i've been concentrating on the wrong thing. Me being a novice in this area thought I had to scrape away the texture around the hole on the existing sheetrock to ensure proper blending. I have racked my brain trying to figure out how to scrap off the old texture. When I tackle this again I plan to get it finished and in the past.

My wife and I even fix our own roof leaks on our tiled roof and it's not just the money we save but the hassle of dealing with many, many dishonest incompetent people out there. Thanks from Miami, Florida.

[@mikeselsvik8357]

I’m a painter 40years and I got a lot of tips from your videos especially tracing the new pice and marking the spot where it was a real game changer for me and I always give you credit for the trick

[@adamames6907]

I am a contractor. Love your tricks. Sometimes we get so stuck in out ways its difficult to see a different method until someone else shows us. Hence we learn. Over my carreer in the trades i have probably done the most of drywall finishing, and drywall repairs can be the worst to finish properly and match existing finish, like there was no repair in the first place, thats the goal. Its much easier to finish new drywall. I appreciate you sharing your experience with everyone who wants to know and doing a great job in the process. you tha man! Fyi you have sold me on the fibafuse. I am used to using mesh tape with a hot mud, but if i can get a flatter tape that fuses better with the mud, those who finish drywall know thats the way to go. Keep it up man!

[@cooljam247]

As the owner of 1940's row home where something is always either leaking, cracking, or creaking this demystifies the exact repair I have coming up. I'm not doing this myself, but at least I better understand what questions to ask before I choose my pro. Thank you so much!!

[@chrisschofield552]

I'm a 23 yr old contractor just getting started doing jobs on my own. Thank you for the straightforward instruction and helpful explanations throughout the video. Definitely worth the sub

[@kiano_84]

this guy knows what he’s doing. good work! Quick tip: don’t be afraid to open up your patches with more mud too the sides, most of the times there will be a border and to erase that border so it can look flat and smooth as possible I recommend opening it wider.

[@kenseymour5152]

A little tip to home owners if you get a leak in a ceiling as soon as you notice put a whole in it so it doesn’t spread across the whole board it can prevent the sheet from bowing and falling the water spreads and starts soaking the drywall causing it to turn soft and the screws pull loose

[@cry2urmom757]

Reading that gave me a headache 😔

[@JoeKing67.]

First! You must fix leak!

[@kenseymour5152]

@@JoeKing67. of course the leak has to be fixed I just stated that if you come across a leak in your ceiling just put a hole in the drywall if not the water spreads across the whole board and causes the paper backing to start letting water into the gypsum and it turns back into mud and the whole board will sag and finally collapse if you put a whole in it and let it drip into a pal then all you have to fix is the hole that you put into it not the whole ceiling. In some cases you will have to take the board down to fix the problem

[@JT_70]

Water stain is over a bed so can’t put a hole in the drywall and allow it to drip. I put a bucket in the attic to catch the drip but we found the damage too late. One of 4 rooms with ceiling damage from separate roof leaks.

Hey, good video. I'm a DIY with very little knowledge of home repairs. I'd like to suggest maybe putting together a separate video where you break down what each of this compounds, muds and stuff are for, or why you use them. As for the cats, anytime I do repairs around my house the cat is there watching, knowing cats they are probably grading your work.

Great video Paul. I do ceiling repairs in condominium buildings. Most leaks are caused by a leaking bathtub drain or toilet wax ring leaks. I use a oscillating multitool to cut the plaster coated stucco ceiling. Then I use the wood and cut it 4 inches longer on each side of the repair . I also use a thin drill bit to make pilot holes to screw the wood to the ceiling so the plaster won’t crack. Then I screw the new drywall using shims to level the repair and make it flush with the rest of the ceiling. Afterwards I bed the mash tape with 20 minute mud. After the mud sets up I give it a second coat of 20 minute mud through the rest of the repair extending the mud 12 inches from the repair. The third and fourth coats I use 90 minute mud very thinned out so I can skim coat the rest of the repair. I let it dry well between each coat. On the third day I sanded prime it and paint it. Thank you for sharing your techniques specially the skip trowel finish.

Been finishing for 30 years. Nice job! Watched other videos and see exactly why the trade has gone to shit. Proud of you. Matching textures is pure art work and again you are correct flat latex for primar people don't realize. Brand new drywall? As long as you sponge wash after sanding one coat flat latex with long nap roller.your done

Great job. Although never understood the appeal of textured ceilings. Best wishes from the UK.

[@susanholl5994]

Cultural differences maybe that we like the soft look of textured ceilings and walls in the USA. I've never understood the appeal of wallpaper, which is ubiquitous in the UK.

[@PaulPeck]

Thank you Marshall. 👍🏻 I Like texture and smooth. Just depends on the space. But, I will say I’ve seen some ugly texture and some hideous not so smooth.

Couldn’t agree more Susan!🙌🏼😎 Thanks for watching and commenting! -Paul

@@susanholl5994 Yes. Horses for courses/live and let live and all that. It has been very widely used in the UK (and very badly - seen some shocking, headache inducing, examples of combed artex on ceilings and walls) especially in old houses, often in an attempt to mask awful plasterwork.

[@hossblur1]

@@susanholl5994 we use ceiling textures to hide framing imperfections. Trusses will wander, stand up walls at the joints wander. Texture helps hide that. Anytime we texture anything, we are hiding something.

DIY'ER. I like your talking description as you are going along. I will watch this many times. You are a true craftsman. This is a very useful video, thanks for making it.

[@muskogee9948]

Love your video, I own rentals. There’s always a seam crack, something that needs repaired before painting. I’m still trying to master texture.

[@PaulPeck]

I really appreciate that Muskogee!🙏 Texturing takes some practice but you’ll get it! Thanks for watching and commenting my friend!😎 -Paul

[@idiotidiot5821]

Pretty much what I planned to do I just needed the confidence of watching someone doing it properly first. Much appreciated

[@lh98]

I’m a diy’er and I’d love to have someone remove all my popcorn ceilings but it’ll have to be me because everyone around here wants 40 bucks plus an hour to do anything like this and they like to stand around taking their time or playing on their phones. I appreciate the videos as an educational thing. Not a fan of mud and even less of the sanding! Lol.

[@motherflipper4480]

I need to do the exact same ceiling repair. You make it look deceptively easy. Do I dare try to do this myself? I'm tempted....🤔

[@dennispost8350]

I am faced with the same dilemma.

[@you7219]

So did you do it yourself?

Best video ceiling repair I’ve seen. Clean and seamless

I just did a drywall ceiling project and your video popped up. Great job there brother.

[@mozerdude8102]

Where did that ceiling fan come from? Great job, you made it look easy especially with the texture match!
