How to repair a drywall ceiling hole fast and easy!

How to repair a drywall ceiling hole fast and easy!
In this step by step drywall repair video tutorial I'll be showing you how to repair a drywall ceiling hole on a drywall ceiling. First I'll be installing the drywall after I square up the circular hole on the ceiling repair. I'll also show you a few tips and tricks from cutting the drywall, I'll install furring strips to attach the new piece of drywall. Then I'll show you how to use a drywall tape called FibaFuse to finish all the seams of the drywall repair with joint compound and the FibaFuse drywall tape.
From the finishing to sanding I'll show you several of my drywall tips and tricks for doing the bedding the FibaFuse, doing the mud work and sanding the drywall patch on this bathroom remodel where I also installed new drywall, finished the drywall and skim coated the entire bathroom ceilings and walls.
The Fibafuse drywall tape is a fiberglass composite that's a much stronger drywall tape compared to paper tape and fiberglass mesh tape and your tape joints are much easier to get flatter in my opinion. I bedded the Fibafuse with a 6 inch drywall taping knife and some USG all-purpose joint compound that comes with the dark green lid.Thanks for watching this how to repair a drywall ceiling hole video! -Paul

[@PaulPeck]

I really appreciate that bro!👍🏻😎 -Paul

[@joephillips61]

Fantastic how you keep working while inserting the additional link info. Great channel. Let’s do this. I identified and fixed a leak then went with your instructions. Looks pretty darn good if I do say so myself.

[@MovieMakingMan]

A few weeks before having to go into the army (I was drafted) I put in attic stairs for my mom and dad. My foot slipped off a stud and I fell through the sheetrock to the floor 8 feet below. My first thoughts weren’t of being hurt. The first thing I thought of was hoping I broke an arm so I wouldn’t have to report at the army induction center. My mom who was watching me work was thinking the same thing I was. We both laughed as she helped remove all the sheetrock and insulation off of me. I spent the entire time I was in the military in Nike Hercules Missile classes. The longest class was for fire control maintenance, which was a system to control the launches of missiles. When I was drafted I didn’t want to go to Vietnam so I signed up for the safest army class they had. I knew there were no Nike Hercules missiles in any war zones. They were strictly defensive weapons. I ended up becoming honor graduate in an international class that included Germany, Italy, Spain and South Korea. I became great friends with the South Koreans. They were all black belts in karate. Whenever I went to Juarez to drink and party I usually took a few of them with me. They were excellent and fast! While hanging out in a large hallway between classes I was joking with one of the South Koreans taunting him and saying he didn’t know karate. Even though he was 8 feet away on the other side of the hall the next thing I felt was his foot against my throat. He had me pinned against the wall. I couldn’t believe he was that fast. I couldn’t believe anyone could be that fast. I was glad we were friends.

Thanks for the Fibafuse recommendation. Looking forward to trying it on my bathroom ceiling. Finally got the leaks in my roof successfully repaired and now it's on to the interior repairs the rain caused! I'm a 78 year old woman and can do ANYTHING by watching KZbin videos ... especially yours!

Just installed a 16”x16” drywall patch in the ceiling. It took just under an hour. Project went exactly as described and planned. Wife was very impressed. Thanks for the tutorial. Good job dude.

[@morociorealestate]

As the handy woman in my home I appreciate your video! I love learning new DIY home projects and this was well explained and just what I needed!

Wow…now I understand why this could be costly when hiring a contractor. I found your videos to be professional and to the point with great results. Thanks Paul for the great instructions.

[@jordanspringstroh8302]

What an absolutely incredible tutorial. I would have never thought this was something I could do myself but this video gave me the confidence and knowledge to get the job done! Thank you so much!

[@arthurgiacalone-e9x]

Total pro and perfectionist. You made me want to tackle the spackle on a job almost identical to the one you demo'd. I did dry wall work when I was young. It paid well and I like it. Thanks for the vid.

[@jenniferstinson7150]

We removed the wood stove from our kitchen and since I cannot find anyone who will come fix this ceiling hole for me, I will be doing it myself. Your instructional video is VERY helpful. I just finished mudding and taping the walls of the kitchen and my next job is to tackle the ceiling and (unfortunately) retexture it to match the rest. Wish me luck! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience with us.

[@isaiahbennett8029]

Thank you. I’m doing repairs on my mother’s farmhouse and this is exactly what I needed.

[@artemusbryant2493]

Hi Paul, I have watched several Do-It-Yourself videos on KZbin and yours is by far one of the best I have ever seen. Excellent instruction, video quality, and audio. The only thing more impressive than the aforementioned attributes is your clear and obvious knowledge of your profession. Thank you for the outstanding instruction and I will definitely look for your videos whenever I have a question that fits your expertise, and of course, I have already subscribed.

[@janehop]

We removed two florescent light fixtures and replaced them with two hanging light fixtures. We had to access and move the new fixtures to a slightly different spot. We had to put up a new junction box and bracket, and so we've got a 5x6 square hole, and several small holes. So glad to see how an expert does the work. Thank you, we're going to use your ideas.

[@EBuzzard]

Hi: My gracefulness was displayed as my foot slipped off of a rafter and I put my foot through the ceiling from the attic to my garage. Will be replacing about 18 X 30 piece. Thanks for the help. Mark

[@2an_sound]

This is the best drywall patching tutorial I've ever seen. So many nuances of skill shown that really make a difference

[@larsdahl6594]

I love watching your videos, doing things in 10 minutes and making it look good while it takes me a whole day and doesn't look half as good as yours.

[@jazzcornertv]

Don't worry. You are not alone. The video is great. From a small hole he compounded half the ceiling and it came it good. I always compound only the small hole and it always comes out bad. Sanding? what for? I can't see that far anyway just throw some paint on it. Honey I'm done (lol).

[@fatimadorisca110]

You have saved my husband and I. Went in the attic and my foot went out the drywall in my kids room. This video showed us how to fix it fast and under 60 bucks.

[@lembergnative7731]

Brilliant! I feel fully equipped to undertake the ceiling repair from a bathtub leak :) Thank you so much!

[@angela8188]

Thank you so much for this channel! Got my work cut out for me, but feel like I can tackle it, thx to you!

[@lisahagin7437]

I want to thank you for this video. My brother stepped through my ceiling and I referenced this to repair. Yes that cobra fuse is the $h1t. I did have to retry the Sheetrock plug a couple of times because of some trial and error and learning.

[@chanelle8226]

Thank you very much for the clear explanation as I am a single mum and can’t effort to pay someone to do this job thank you again and GOD bless you.

I did this today and this tutorial was very helpful. This guy is a pro, and makes it look easy. Mine did not lay flush everywhere, and the tape was a mess. Over all it still turned out looking pretty great.

[@lamorenitax3553]

I fell down the drywall ceiling from my room and I thought it was going to be difficult to repair and thank god it looks so simple and well explained will try this in the morning

[@jaredmiles981]

I did the exact same thing this weekend while flushing the AC, thanks to this guy, made the job really easy🤣

[@korasmock4199]

Bought a renovated house, apparently they repaired the basement ceiling without fixing the leak from the kitchen sink above. Came home from a trip to a gaping hole in the basement ceiling. A year and half later, I guess its time to look up how to close it up. I'm glad to know now that I can do it too!

[@nykkiflandiva7963]

A tree branch punctured my gutter and caused the end of it to come off. It was raining in my bedroom ceiling and I’m not a rich woman. I’ve decided to have a repairman replace the gutter and I’m gonna do the ceiling myself. Thanks for sharing this awesome video!❤

Husband stepped through attic floor/hallway ceiling (he survived relatively unscathed). This area has obviously undergone a prior repair. I've done all the drywall repair work in our home, but this is my first ceiling. I really enjoy drywall, laying tile, etc. Thanks for this tutorial. Wish I would have found you earlier!

Hi Paul. You did a brilliant job with this. Awhile back now, we had to cut a piece of ceiling out and the wrong kind of material was placed there instead. I ended up covering with joint compound. Had I to do it over, I would have tried your way. MUCH BETTER. - Cheers, Ivy

Jeff here. Albuquerque NM. I am 3rd generation drywall guy. Steel structural framer, sheetrock hanger, drywall finisher, and texture SPECIALIST. Can match and or do any texture. Love old to new challenges. 25 years experience. You're awesome for doing these vids man. I have lived here in Albuquerque my whole life. Have yet to see anyone even good or close to good as far as patching and texture outside of my family members who are now retired. Good job I would love to get the opportunity to work with you. Don't know where you are located? Drywall finishing and patching is a DYING ART. I have and still am making great money doing drywall repairs because no one is worth a damn. Keep it up man

[@PaulPeck]

Right on Jeff!💥👊🏻 Same here man. Not many tradesmen can match textures very well. Needless to say that I make a pretty good living!👍🏻 It takes a special breed with a good eye, patience and mad skills to be to pull it off. I enjoy what I do and it’s sounds like you do too. Keep up the good work bro! Thanks so much for watching and subscribing my friend!😎 Rock on!🤟🏻 -Paul

[@jeffthewhiff]

Paul, this is the first time I have viewed one of you videos and I can see that it will be very helpful to my painting business. I really like the Fibra Fuse and will have to give it a shot.

[@PaulPeck]

That’s awesome Jeff!👍🏻 Yes, the Fibafuse is perfect for patches and drywall finishing. Although I still use traditional paper drywall tape for all inside corners to get a nice crisp corner. So glad you found my channel! Thanks so much for watching and subscribing my friend!😎 -Paul

Hey Paul, I've had a great result patching a water damaged piece of ceiling plasterboard following the excellent advice in your video. I haven't done the skimming yet but I can't help smiling every time I walk past and look up at the new patch and how it fits so well! Cheers buddy 👍

[@michaelrhoads4280]

REALLY shoulda watched this before trying to repair my bathroom ceiling. I was trying to use 2x4 as a cross brace between the studs for supporting the patch. Well that was an unnecessary trip to the attic! Lesson learned.

Right on David!👍🏻 Let me know if you run into any questions along the way. Thanks so much for watching and subscribing my friend!😎 -Paul

[@ntoxicatedtigah]

The hard part is when the ceiling is already painted and you have to do a repair and match and blend the texture perfectly as possible to the existing paint. Do you have a tutorial on that?

[@JamesHardenMVP-tr8uq]

Repaint whole ceiling a coat of fresh paint its always good for brightening up a room

[@drblizzle]

Definitely no use in trying to match. Will be way more effort than just paint a fresh coat on the ceiling.

[@ntoxicatedtigah]

@@drblizzle omg I just patched a huge hole just up the stairs to the 2nd story where the whole ceiling expands out to the 2 story family room.

[@chrishughes8188]

[@scottclendaniel8624]

Thanks for this video. I had a similar spot in a bedroom and this worked great. Using the knife to scrape away heavy spots and then the sanding block in a circular motion worked like a charm! One question I have is do you have any tips for drying the patch? It takes a whole day for each coat to dry. Thanks for your help!

[@PaulPeck]

I appreciate that Scott!💥👊🏻 Here’s a playlist where I show how to speed up the drying time when doing repairs.👍🏻 Let me know what you think. Thanks so much for watching and subscribing my friend!😎 -Paul

[@johnjacob6774]

you can get what called 20 min mud or 5 min mud and use a hair dryer to speed drying process

[@michaelglover7403]

I've watched many DIY videos on KZbin and yours is by far one of the best in not only picture and audio quality but your knowledge of your trade is obviously master level. Thanks for the tips and tricks.

[@johannesdebeer]

What mud do you use? How long before the coats are dry enough to do the next part?

[@PaulPeck]

I’m using an USG all purpose joint compound. It is dry enough to recoat in about 2-3 hours. You can put a fan on it to speed up the drying process.👍🏻 I hope this helps. Thanks so much for watching and subscribing!😎-Paul

[@tomcruise11880]

Thank you so much Paul, for sharing your 20 years precious experience with everybody. It helps a lot for people like me, just began the drywall jobs.

I was pretty proud of myself for figuring out how to do this on my own, and now I feel like an idiot because I had no idea joint tape is so important.

[@ej1722]

👍You inspired this old lady to do my repair myself😂😂😂Thanks

[@kayleew.4453]

When the new roof was put on they didn’t seal the bathroom vent. So when our swamp cooler over filled instead of the water just running off the roof it instead leaked into our attic into our bathroom. So now the bathroom ceiling has a sagging part from water damage.

[@PaulPeck]

Hi Kaylee, bummer... This playlist might be perfect for your situation: kzbin.info/aero/PL7Ww-LhWbB0EpUPC_6Wau5Jnzakor32Zy Let me know what you think?

[@carolinestreet1410]

when you put the fibafuse down, did you overlap the corners??

“Look at that. You can do that too.” I love when he says that. Gives you confidence you can do a nice job. :-)

[@henrybrar]

Pro tip - never go in your attic after you had a pint of Jack Daniels. I went to run some hdmi wire and didn't need stairs to come down, landed straight in the living room.

[@krisp2219]

Lmao I just stuck my foot through my kitchen ceiling but that’s funny 😄

[@markr6080]

I have that nasty spray in insulation all over my attic. They didn't uniformly distribute it, so once when I had a small roof leak, the insulation got wet in a spot where it was bunched up a foot high. Sure 'nuff, it got so heavy that it crashed right down into the family room. 18 inch by 3 foot hole in my ceiling! It's repaired, but I could never get the knockdown texture to match.

[@commatodatop264]

Nice video. Perfect round hole. Relatively low ceiling. I have a jagged hole, high ceilings and a light can in the way. Wish mine were this easy but good fundamentals anyway.

[@davekennedy52]

Hi Paul, I'm assuming that you cut a square patch instead of a round patch because its not easy (probably impossible?) to apply the tape to a circle, straight taping is quicker, easier. Thanks for the video

[@PaulPeck]

Hi Dave, Yes exactly!👍🏻 I also wanted to share the tracing out the new piece of drywall for a perfect fit trick and how to add a furring strip. Thanks so much for watching and subscribing my friend! -Paul

[@benspragge33]

Definitely, if you can do it your self, that's always great! I would have charge 2 or 3 times that. But its all relative to the job and city.

[@Danielson1818]

Thank you very much! Most professionals in any trade want to keep secrets so that they are more valued. My mother and her husband are nearing 60 years old, and I've been tasked with doing all sorts of work for the house. I managed to fix a couple roofs with help, but I've never done bigger drywall repair. Even just the idea of cutting out the patch 1st and then tracing it is a tip that'll really help me out.

[@jeffbennett6546]

It's easier to cut the circle with a contractors coumpass the same radius with the furrings strip .not cutting the ceiling is less work .

[@PaulPeck]

Agreed!👍🏻 Thanks so much for watching and subscribing! -Paul

[@DJ_Pizano]

Jeff Bennett I suggest a much smaller square. Just a little bit bigger then the circle.

[@georgeclift7332]

More than one way to skin a cat but my method for this is to cut a circle and finish in a circle. Drywall repair, to me, is much harder to make perfect than finishing new drywall. I try to keep holes as small as possible because the larger the hole, the farther you have to feather

[@ednjc123]

I’m about it to try this myself for the first time at 50 years old shirt fat and during a MS relapse… because our contractor stole 6000. From us and I’ve had a hole in my ceiling from tree falling on my house for almost a year… thank you for making this I do so clear

I'm taking an old heat lamp out of a bathroom, making the ceiling good and then cutting in two downlights - I work on a desk, so this video was perfect, thanks Paul!

Hello Paul ! like your video with the Camera mounted on your head ! Gives a nice perspective too......Glad you found FIBAFUSE,,,really blends into the mud for a strong yet very thin final result ! good on butt joints and patches and OMG soooooo much stronger than regular fiber tape! Great Job !! You make it look so easy !

I was not sure how to apply the joint compound. Thanks for guiding me in the right direction.

I have a mold remediation company cutting out sections of the ceiling that have mildew on them, so I need to fill/ patch about 6 holes of various sizes. I was nervous to do it on my own, but maybe I'll give it a go! Thanks for the video.

Awesome video. Stepped through our bedroom ceiling this morning while in the attic looking getting Christmas decorations. This video is just what I needed to get that whole in the ceiling patched before the attic got too drafty with cold weather coming this weekend. THANKS!

I had the same experience before I put flooring over my garage and created an elevated, boarded pathway through the rest of the attic. Twice, while struggling to get about, I fell partly through the ceiling. This is just what I need to repair those partial holes.

I did that last year too!

Busted through my attic trying to run some cables through. This video is gonna save my life

[@TimWerbrouck]

[@hawkeyehawkins1464]

Thank you for this video! I went up into my attic making sure we didn't have any bats or rats, and on the way out, I stepped between the struts thinking it was a piece of composite board. It was not lol

[@Wvillegas816]

Wow man. This is awesome. Great video and well explained. You give us regular guys confidence we can do it. Thanks.

[@kamshokar9328]

I love how you do it with the POV angle (helmet cam?). It makes it easier to visualize myself doing the repair

[@numberonefan3148]

Excellent video. This is my first ceiling repair following removal of a portion of a bathroom ceiling that was beneath the shower drain pipe from the bathroom directly above. Plumber did repair, saved money by exposing the pipe and locating the leak first. Now to fix the ceiling! I'm much better prepared. Thanks.

By far, the best drywall repair video I've seen and have spent quite some time looking for the right tutorial. Thank you good sir!
