How To: Fix A Drywall Crack In Your Wall Or Ceiling
This DIY Home Repair Project Will Save You TIME & MONEY
Once you discover a crack in your wall or ceiling it’s often hard to see anything else in that room! For real estate investors, unsightly cracks can also impact your sale price or potential rental income.
In this article, we share a method for repairing drywall cracks that works well on both walls or ceilings. This article is for a drywall crack, but for larger holes you can use the same approach described here and use a drywall patch. A ceiling crack repair requires a ladder and is a bit more difficult since you’re working against gravity and dripping drywall compound, so we suggest starting with a wall project to hone your skills.
This is an easy, entry level DIY home repair project that can save you hundreds of dollars when compared with hiring a contractor. You’ll also get an immense amount of satisfaction when you see (or don’t see more accurately) the finished product.
