The job
A wall had a large opening down to the pink insulation, plus a smaller square hole beside it. The after photo shows both closed and coated, ready for sanding.
Typical steps for this job
The photos show the start and the finish; these are the usual steps in between:
- The damaged edges were cut back to solid drywall.
- New drywall pieces were cut to fill both openings.
- The pieces were screwed in place.
- The seams were taped and covered with joint compound.
A patch this size needs several thin coats with drying time between them; one thick coat cracks. Holes this size often come from a door handle, a move or a repair behind the wall; the cause is worth fixing too, or the patch comes back.
