I have been doing some repairs on some of my drywall. I started watching your videos for some drywall tutorials. You are an awesome teacher. At age 68 this female just did here first California patch. My husband was most impressed with the end result. ❤❤

I rarely start a home project without first checking to see if you have a video covering my project. Always clear and concise...much appreciated!

Anyone else trying to patch their apartment wall in secret?

I love how you help us diy'ers manage our expectations.

Sir, you should be in charge of the entire planet's 'how to' videos. This is exceptional. Thank you!

Jeff you are so awesome , I watched your tile repair and I plan to watch more of your video's. I can not thank you enough. I was really upset seeing a broken backsplash tile. You helped me have the confidence to fix it. Thanks so much, please keep posting these video's.

Talking about texture……. Following your wise instructions, fixed my home office celling in less than 15 minutes plus some time for preparation. CONGRATULATIONS!!! I have follow your videos for some time and learning on every of your videos🙏❤️🙏

yeah...the voice of Bob Ross was coming from the past with me, too!

Thanks! I like your friendly style of instruction. I've learned a lot. I'm working on my KZread studio, attempting my first drywall job ever. I would hate to think what it would be like without your videos. You're like the good friend you call when you're stuck and need help.

Glad I clicked on this video looking for how to texture a wall for a patch we just put on. I would have never thought of using a paintbrush. Genius. Also, thanks for the head's up on painting the whole wall once done. This wall is textured, but I sanded it down a bit and put primer on it. Patched the hole, then will primer the wall before painting. We have an area near our kitchen where there are about 2 or 3 spots (not small) that have a different sheen than the rest of the wall. Its been like that for over 15 years. I figured we must have ran out of paint and got the wrong sheen, but that doesn't make since as its only those spots that look different. The other guess is that a different mud compound was used on those spots, however same with the paint in saying that didnt make since either unless someone went over it again. It also doesn't look like a patch job either (its really high on the wall). In case, once we get to that wall we will be sanding down the texture a little bit, adding primer and painting with a new color. Thanks again!

I've been mucking around with drywall, mud, spackle, etc. for years as Joe Homeowner. I came here to figure out how to match a textured wall that I've never had before. This video was probably the best yet to help me tackle this 2X3 foot patch where a room air conditioner was. I LOVE the trick with the patch keeping the paper on! I've never seen that before and it's brilliant! Thanks for all the help!

Thanks for ALL the clear directions. With a fixer upper as a first home at 53 … your clear directions are with me all the way through.

Your attention to detail is spot on.Another perfect demonstration. Thank you.👌👍

Jeff this is the best patch job video anywhere. Here where I live it’s almost always knockdown texture on the walls. You are really the best teacher and a hell of a Jack of all trades, thank you.

Thanks for all of your videos, currently in the middle of some drywall work from moisture damage. My walls are unfortunately textured in what can only be described as road rash because that’s what you get if you rub up on it. With any luck I’ll be priming and texturing tomorrow.

I was freaking out just thinking of a 2x2 patch..and every time I see a patch it's like they never watched a pro like this. Nice job and thank you for putting in the work and not a weekend warrior style. 👍

I love the pink patch putty, makes it easy to know when its dry and you can sand, texture, and paint. It came in handy when i moved out of my apartment and into my house, even works great for hiding picture hook holes.

Fantastic tips. Thanks. One thing I do for the last step before texturing is with a wet sponge feather the edges more so it blends in better. Not so much as it remove too much mud. Find this works well too.

Thank you my friend I do not believe there is a video of yours that I have not watched. I work maintenance 7 days a week and apparently binge watch it seven nights a week. Thanks again.

Jeff as you may or may not know from my comments... I am a DIY'er and ex Handyman but I gotta say I find your videos most educational and informative. Keep up the good work. God Bless.

Love how easy you are to follow. You’re the man! Appreciate it!

If I just need to fill a small hole that doesn't require taping and blending out into a much larger area, like your 2 smaller hole repairs, I will then wipe off the new excess mud around the hole with a damp rag or sponge, leaving just the small previous 1" diameter hole area to texture. No sanding. Great video as always, Jeff. I love to show them to my son who is out of the air force now & wants to flip houses with me.

When you used the Alex caulk, you literally blew my mind!!!!!! Worked at paint department at home depot for 3 years, how did I never learn this awesome trick, to heck with the spray texture!!!

Perfect timing just found your video on repairing texured drywall after doing a plumbing repair in the house. I really like the California patch too! Great idea. 👏👍

Hey Jeff! So glad I found your video with knock down texture! I removed my upper kitchen cabinets and boy do I need this! Thanks!

You have fun with your home repairs! That decreases anxiety for me as I look over the list of projects that I have to tackle. Thx for your great video content!

Just want to note that the canned aerosol knock down "patch repair" stuff is only good for walls and not ceilings. It just lacks the pressure needed to spray upward that a true hopper with a compressor would have. At least in my experience. Like to hear your opinion/guidance. For ceilings dabbing on the material as shown here is great. You can also use a ball of natural sponge which gives you a less uniform distribution as the pores are randomly sized. These can be bought online or from an import furniture store or body and bath boutique. Finally a trick I got from another drywall pro was when repairing and texturing - "read the wall". What he meant by this was you will see a direction to the knockdown. Its thick where the person started the stroke and thinner where it ended. If you replicate this directionality the light will reflect in a uniform way across the ridges. If you are contrary to the flow you will see the finish (satin, gloss etc) look weird. Even if you paint the entire wall or ceiling you cannot eliminate this as it is a light reflection/dispersion effect (like a lens flare). When I followed this simple tip I was stunned how good even lesser efforts looked.

I’ve done lots of dry wall work, mostly repair work. Seeing the way you made the mud, just like a pasta maker, is a first! F’ing brilliant!

Thanks, I just started watching your videos and thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge with us. God bless and protect.

I love it! As a part-time house flipper, I am constantly filling wall holes, spackling, and deciding whether I need to worry about texturing or letting it go. No more cans of spray on text that just never match the wall, I can't wait to try these techniques on my next job.

Great video, step by step experiencing the live application is a great way to experience the application before wasting a can of texture. Well done, great job.

You should get national awards in Canada and the U.S. for your teachings and work ethics. Thank you! 😎

I just started doing a repaint of my whole house and I am so happy I found this video. You explain so well without a bunch of unnecessary comments and drag out the explanation. You make this so simple and walk us through it. You just got yourself another subscriber right here. Thank you!!

Thanks man. I love your sense of humor. I always laugh through these videos so much I have to watch certain parts over hahaha. Today I wanted to install a new towel rod, the old one was mounted on a piece of wood. When I removed the old one, I saw it was covering a huge hole in the wall. I'm a new homeowner so completely unfamiliar with this. You really make it seem approachable, but we'll see how my california patch turns out.

Always informative, thank you Jeff for all the teachings !

Brilliant repair job! Luckily for me I don't have any textured walls, however I do have a unique situation on my living room, dining room and upstairs hallway walls. Apparently the previous owners of the house wallpapered these walls. Well before they sold to me, they took the easy way out and repainted over the wallpaper, so this is a lot of square footage with paint over wallpaper. So far, I've been mostly lucky with not having any damage to these walls. However, you can clearly see some of the wallpaper lines where the paper slightly peeled off on some of the edges. This long commentary leads up to my question. I've only had to make one minor repair so far. It was at a small section underneath the living room bay window, so the repair is not at eye level. What I did was cut out and peeled off the wallpaper, then did the repair, then replaced the peeled off wallpaper. The repair came out well, but the cut lines are pretty obvious, but as I stated, it's way down at the floor level, so it's not at a location where your eyes are drawn to. So the question after the long winded build up is, how would I approach repairing it further to hide the wallpaper lines? Thanks for all you do!

From Singapore: I always like your presentation and renovation ideas. They are always practical, doable and creative. Your down to earth and jovial spirit is good. Keep the videos coming.

FANTASTIC VIDEO!! Thank you for this one. I've always had textured walls and could never get the texture right.

I use foam to back patches/fill gaps in drywall all the time... I used to think it was a hack, but the results speak for themselves... Glad to see i'm not the only one. On small repairs on some texture finishes trimmed foam with a single coat of 20 min followed up with a large nap paint roller looks like almost a perfect match. One thing I have found that works amazingly on deep /large repairs is fiberglass mesh tape pressed deeply into wet foam ... It dries hard and strong and keeps the mesh tape in place so you don't get sags, you can even sand it if it dries "proud" of the finished surface.

Dude! I love your wisdom, ideas. Very helpful. Been able to knock out so many home projects with your videos. Thank you!

Good video. Wish my walls were that easy. I had to try and match a textured pattern. All 4 walls in my living room have a subtle overlapping swirl pattern in the plaster. That took so many tries to get close. Both the pattern, and the depth of the texture.

Love the glibness that accompanies putting a hole in the wall.

Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

Great! Thank you. I was trying to do the same to day with joint compound. Going back now to try with caulk. Thank you

This is the kind of videos I really like and benefit from !!! Please do something similar on ceiling textures as well !!!!!

Excellent video. Thank you for sharing.

Thanks for all this information . I’m a painter and I’m finding a good painter can also drywall … Very helpful

thanks Jeff. I needed to fix ceiling following leak and your video was very helpful.

Thank you so much jeff. This video helped me save thousands in repairs to water damage.

Helo from Az. I have seen many videos on DIY from KZread University. No question yours are the best. Your flow of instruction along with demonstration and comparison make hard projects easy to do. Matching texture is an art you made doable for knuckle draggers like me. You have a new subscriber.

Very, VERY useful information. Thanks!

Honestly now I have confidence in me to do this thank you so much ☺️

That's amazing can't even tell there was eny damage on that wall good work iam hooked on watching you

This is a great video. Thank you so much for making this. I tried watching other videos but yours was so well explained and demonstrated that it helped me a lot patching and filling holes at my parents house today.

One of the best DIY channels on YT. Thank you for taking your time and not overcomplicating things.

Nice tip for cleaning up extra mud in the texture is using a damp sponge. You can also use it to clean up ridges you may have left behind as the muds setting up. 5 minute mud works great if you can work quickly. 👍🏼

Great videos!! Thank you for sharing your knowledge very appreciated!!

Great video on repairing a textured wall 3 ways. Thanks for making this video for us.

This is just AWESOME!!! So many ideas....thank you!

This was awesome, great detail. Thank you! Getting started tomorrow.

Thanx for the demo. You are amazing. Love it.

🤯 I will admit, I was a little skeptical when I saw you put the caulk on the wall. Never seen it done that way, but thank you for sharing a new way to do this. All of the walls and ceilings in my house are textured in one way or the other. More skills for the toolbox. Thanks for sharing this with us.

Thank God for guys like you with years of experience taking the time to show us DIYers what we're doing wrong. Would love to see what you do when butted up against a corner. I was running ethernet and goal was to get close to the stud (to drill through) and using furring strips (before I discovered Cali patch through this) and had nothing to screw to on top or side. Made it work but it was u-g-l-y.

Thanks for all your help

OMG you are the BEST... I always learn so much from you 🥰🥰🥰

been looking for this video for years! I patched some holes and they are so smooth compared to the heavy knapp layers of paint finish, gonna try a roller and thinned mud!

I really enjoyed watching this video. Thank you so much!

I just love to watch your videos! You make everything seem so doable. I have a texture that looks like drips. Not knocked down. I don’t think this came from a can or hopper, probably very wet drywall mud and a roller?

You are my favorite handyman, youtuber. Thanks for sharing your knowledge 🙏 God bless you always and success in any field, whatever you do. Om mani padme hung 🙏🙏🙏

You have obviously been doing this a looong time! Thanks for making the video!

I love watching your videos. I’ve learned a lot😎Thank you ♥️

Just a suggestion, a looped roller (small vinyl loops) used after applying compound let dry then use a trowel to strike down and match rest of wall. I think they are readily available for about $6.00 no hopper no equipment needed. Also for some of us impatient people I keep a small hand held hair blower to dry patches quickly. Love your channel especially after you work an area you go over it with your hand! If you feel it you will eventually see it. Great advise.

I have only been shown how to do flat, dob and knock down. There are still many I need to learn. If you haven't yet I think that video would get alot of views. Like that ceiling pattern that looks like brushed out circles, I cant find that anywhere.

Still loving the California patch!
