Drywall Crack Repair
Let it be known that some drywall cracking is inevitable and will usually happen within the first year of completing a drywall project.
The Following Steps are to Repair Drywall Cracks, as previously mentioned it takes years of experience when it comes to little nuances that make the job look like new:
- Figure out why the movement is occurring and mitigate the cause,
- Add strength by taping (paper tape creates a stronger joint) the crack,
- Float drywall mud (preferably hot mud) over the tape and the job is finished!
Drywall Hole Repair
This category is broken down into 2 subcategories consisting of either the ceiling or a wall.
- Strapped Backing Patch is used in ceiling repairs and utilizes a piece of wood behind the drywall to create strength.
- Wall patches that are square would be best suited for use with a "Butterfly Patch", but if greater than 8" x 8", the strapped baking method above would need to be incorporated.
- The third option would be either an Ohio drywall patch or Hammock patch which would work with a hole larger than 8" x 8" with the Ohio patch possibly being used on the ceiling if certain precautions are taken.
Drywall Texture Repair
The following steps are placed in order of importance which makes step number one very important and step number five less important and if you decide to skip will not adversely affect the outcome.
- Consistency - experience is the best method,
- Use original tools and methods - consisting of texture, brushes, hawk and trowel, sprays are more easily identifiable,
- Remove peripheral lines - using a slightly damp soft bristle brush to fade out the new and old,
- Coating - taping and mudding will be needed here,
- Thickness - shimming may be necessary.
