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

Love that he gets right to the info you need without a 20 minute “bla bla” before. Great vids!!!

[jeffreymills]

Awesome! This video is just what I needed after falling through my ceiling when doing other DIY 😂😂 Nothing like turning a crappy situation into learning a new skill 😀😀

[joybeum]

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 YouTube 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!

[carlosborrero]

BY far the best video I've see on you tube on how to repair a drywall ceiling, step by step explaination. this is what I was looking for to help me repair the hole in the bathroom ceiling.

[joshuaveverka]

Im trying to impress my wife with my handy skills. Thanks for saving me.

[lindamurrell]

Bro that first coat couldn’t even see the repair it was so clean. Not sure if it’s the lighting or not but that’s amazing .

[jordanspringstroh]

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!

[artemusbryant]

Hi Paul, I have watched several Do-It-Yourself videos on YouTube 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.

[isaiahbennett]

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

[gracewhitlinger]

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.

[arthurgiacalone-ex]

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.

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!

[jenniferstinson]

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.

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.

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!❤

[lisahagin]

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.

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.
