How to Patch Up Drywall Holes

3/5/2020

0 Comments

 
Picture
​Before starting with your repairs, you must be knowledgeable of the utility placement inside your home. Most of the time, electric wires are attached to wall studs. Make sure to locate them before you start cutting, nailing, or drilling the drywall.
Small Dents and Dings
These minor dents and dings are easily patchable. If there are any loose debris, scrape them away first to smoothen things up. Next, use a fast-drying spackle to cover up the hole and bring it to level with the surface of the drywall. You can read the manufacturer’s instructions to follow the given recommended time for drying, or you can let it sit for 24 hours. Sand smoothly for finishing touches.

Small Holes
There are certain times where doors are accidentally opened too hard, leaving a hole in the wall due to the doorknob. For instances like these, use a patch kit.
  • Apply the self-adhesive mesh patch all over the hole.
  • Using a drywall knife, apply a lightweight joint compound. Make sure to do it in a crisscross pattern, and you feather the edges to make it blend with the wall. Feathering also helps in thinning or minimizing the applied joint compound as to not make it so visible. To do this, increase the angle and pressure on your drywall knife as you near the patch’s edges.
  • Allow the patch to sit and dry. You can apply a second coat if necessary. Sand smooth to finish.

Medium Holes
Medium holes are those that reach six inches deep. The California Patch is the one recommended for these.
  • Measure and cut out a square shape of drywall with its width and height two inches larger than the area of repair.
  • Score the drywall’s back at least an inch from every side using a knife or box cutter.
  • Snap the gypsum off, but make sure the paper backing isn’t damaged.
  • Trace around the square gypsum while holding the patch over the hole. Remember not to include the paper border during the transfer. Use a drywall knife to cut out the square you traced. Remember the caution mentioned above, too, as there might be electrical wires which are attached to studs.

As you repair your hole for walls, make sure you also have the necessary funds for it. If not, then it’s time to start investing in home insurance. Get a policy that protects you and your house from costly damages now!
