How much does it cost to repair a hole like that?

I go a step further. I trim the outside edge to compensate for the thickness of the mesh, and feather the mud farther out to blend. That guarentees the patch to disappear. It's a bit more work, but worth the effort.

Honestly this is the way that most creative/labor industries are. The thing is that its not hurting them because one guy can only fix so many holes in so many walls in a relatively small area. But they pass down knowledge to people who dont know it and they may recive more knowledge from other who know more than them. Even in home renovations there is so much to learn that no one person could be the only laborer in one house so it never hurt to teach somone what you do

I like that you go right to the point and not to much explanation 🙂

Completely agree with matching the texture. Smooth job.

To be honest I always liked the textured finish

OMG that looks SO much easier than other methods, and it accomplishes the same result.

You have to prefill large gaps like that. It will crack badly eventually and the tape will not hide it.

Cut a square in the drywall next time. It's easier to measure your filler piece so you don't have those big gaps along the side like you had. Then you don't have to sand out the bubble that forms when you float over with your mud.

What I mean it's prone to cracking with the temp difference in year to year in a space between the roof and ceiling. A cheap fix will lead to a pain in the ass within 2 years. Once again your doing it again

I have seen a lot of people do a patch. Most of my seat just cut out a piece of drywall the same size has the holder going to cover with a little bit of paper extending passel and just spackle that in. No support behind that little piece of drywall just the paper that is part of the drywall extending past for spackle. Sand a little too much and you're going to go straight through, or somebody leans on that patch it's going to push straight through. Putting a little tiny piece of wood through the hole that's wider than the hole and put that screw on either side and then putting the patch in gives it support. Whether it's in a wall or ceiling. Smart.

I was hoping I'd come across one of these videos of yours fixing a whole that size. Lmao..I tripped in my son's room over toys and manage to kick a hole in the wall as I was falling 🙄😬. Now I can fix it on my own! Thanks so much!

Dude I am a fan, the simplicity and quality of workmanship you demonstrate in such little time is amazing .

A video without bondo.....I am trully blown away.

What texture sprayer did you use

Good work... There's more than one right way to do things. Quit hating in the comments because he didn't do it the way you were taught

Just what I needed, thanks!

Use spray glue on back of patch lay 2 pieces of mesh tape spray around hole and push that piece in and fold out the extra of mesh out of patch and it will stay there and put small pieces around after spraying it with glue and WALA!!! NO BACKING

One time we convinced a lady to just redo the whole ceiling and to keep it flat, (not that we pulled one over on her to get more work and more money but it was definately better for her in the long run as the ceiling had slight water damage from high humidity any way)

Great quick vid. Thanks

If you used a hole saw for the patch and plug side they would match up better, use fibafuse for the tape because it pretty well dissolves allowing it to be much flatter, then a wet song when it's about 75% cured. No sanding required at all and one coat

What did you use to spray the knockdown?

I appreciate your vid’s.Don’t “pay”any mind to the haters ! Do you and get paid . Keep on keeping on !

All these experts should make videos instead of being useless critics.

Good job man. Keep it up.

Here's a nice little trick to get a perfect patch.. hole saw. Cut a slightly larger hole in the piece you want to patch to make it perfectly round and then use the same hole saw to cut a piece of scrap drywall to make a patch that fits perfectly.

Jalapeño!! I damn near just watched all your videos! You do good work brother thanks for sharing.

That texture is way better than pop corn I think

I like the aespestos roof.

Does anyone know what tool he uses to spray that texture?

Make some more videos very good work!👌🏽👊🏽

I like the California patch method

You do good work!

So my house had carpet on the hallway walls ,( sea grass carpet) so when I tore it off it was on there with carpet glue AND huge nails, so I did knock down and it looks amazing!

Im so glad I saw this video! I’ve been wondering how to match that texture on my ceiling and you helped a bunch! Do you have any spray can recommendations for the spray texture?

Love the videos

I would do a California patch on this one, and almost all holess under 6 inches. Also I'd use more backing to protect against vibrations.

love the channel name haha😂

What do you use to spray the texture?

Where do you get all of these materials? I can't seem to find them online? 5 min easy sand simply comes up with hour glasses!😩I have a home over my showerhead that came from a leaking neighbors tub that (finally) got sealed and it's a popcorn ceiling...so, maintenance is giving me the run around and I'm ready to fix it myself!

You are awesome!!

the only part that does not work is painting just that area. i’ve tried for 174 years and i still can’t get the ceiling paint to match.

Thanks for posting! How long do you have wait until knock it down after spraying the texture?

You can always buy a piece of drywall and try to fix holes in it for practice

How do you get the right paint?

Do I have to do it with the mesh tape as I just saw another window that didnt?

I love the knock down texture look on walls & ceilings. Why don't people like it? For awhile they hated popcorn ceilings too. So now what's left? Only thing I can think of is the smooth look and to me that's so boring.

I hate using mesh I prefer paper tape but to each their own everyone has their preferred method youve showed me alot of cool ways of doing stuff

Ever try a cali patch? I love them for quick repairs

Cut a square of sheet rocker bigger than the hole ,attach it to the ceiling,use a bigger hole saw than the hole and drill through both layers,you'll have a perfect size hole for the patch that's in the hole saw.

You forgot to say prime your work before finish painting. If you don't prime it the repair work will always flash through.

Never do one screw like that and most important apply mud 20 45 90 or 5 pure and clean up ty apply the tape and more mud let it dry and more until finished, that is the way this way it’s not good may crack for sure

That was very interesting, now I know what to do, when I come to a situation like that 🥰👍👍👍👍

Young man,may I suggest that you cut a radius drywall slightly bigger then exsisting hole.Scribe that piece over the hole then it will fit nicely. NO dropping of mesh and 5 min mud..Or fill the gaps on your repair prior .

I love the pencil marks afterwards.

I have a wired smoke alarm in my hallway on the ceiling. I just discovered after taking it down that the drywall around the box is shot and I can't screw into it. I have no drywall skills, looking for a quick DIY fix that will allow me to mount my new smoke alarm.

You should bed your mesh with whatever compound you use. Hot mud, taping etc

Worked. For me.

Supergood solución chile verde

I just cut a regular square hold it over the circle mark around it then cut the shape you get a almost perfect fit

Always make a square, circles are no bueno

Next time use your hot mud to fill the gaps before tape. Makes for a much stronger and cleaner patch . Also if you'll apply hot mud in between new horizontal drywall gaps it will help keep walls more rigid and not crack out overtime as the house settles.🤙

Knockdown is beautiful

I would have allowed it to dry thorough then coated it with topping mud allow to dry again. Then sand and melt in the edges with a wet sponge...then spray texture and knock it down. Hot mud will flash through paint some if it doesn't get topping over it.

Where do u live ? U do a lot of the knock down texture. Can u show that spray set up

I was always taught filler is a last resort - filling screw/nail holes. But you seem to use it for everything. Cuts should be right and GLUED. Then small amount of filler for cosmetic finish. Less of the filler! More finesse

How much do i charge to paint a room

What texture sprayer do you use ?

I'm thankful that all my work is plaster and not drywall. I loathe knockdown.

Where you get the texture?

I save my plywood and OSB scraps and run them thru the saw to make 2" strips for hanging patches (among other uses) . They won't split like solid dimensional wood and they're easier to fit into tight areas and into insulated cavities.

Also one more thing and I’ll stop commenting about your mud work. Next time try prefilling the gap before putting mesh tape. Use hot mud with little bit of water so it’s not runny and fill gaps in the patch and wait until it dries. Then add tape then proceed like normal. Makes it better. Especially if you don’t have mesh tape but I still do it with mesh. Gives it some backing.

I’ve always liked knock down. I don’t know why it has a bad rep. As I lay here in bed looking at my popcorn ceiling. LOL

I think its because its used so much in so many American houses. I like it as well and think it and orange peel are nice, other textures generally look cool but are harder to apply. People are just weird man. I'd rather have knockdown texture than a flat wall most of the time.
