I will discuss when you should have a professional look at a possible structural issue, and what methods I use to fix damaged sheetrock and tips for preparing for repainting a room.

Very nice explanation and great quality, thank you! Good tutorial to fix settling cracks
Thank you for watching! I hope you were able to fix your issue.
As a drywall hanger and finisher with 40 years of experience, good video my friend. Thank you so much for not using mesh tape...
Thank you Oscar. When I was in my late teens early twenties, I worked for a contractor who built large million dollar homes, the professional drywall people working on these job sites took the time to show me how to do these things. I am grateful for their patience and their willingness to share their craft. Drywall finishing is definitely an art.
Thank you for the comment.
I live in houston in an area that is so prone to this. My goal this summer is to become a pro at fixing this.
You can do it! Let me know how it goes....
You should open the crack at a 45 on each side and tape it
Thank you for watching my videos!
I agree. Especially if the crack has separated more than a 1/16".
I do that and use hot mud with no tape and it last longer.THose always recrack.
i bought a brick home that was built in the 70s. almost every door frame or window has these cracks but they are like 10-20 inch long. should i be concerned??
Probably nothing to be overly concerned with. If they return after following the tape and mud method, you might want to have a contractor take a look. Usually this fix will take care of it. Thanks for watching my video!
@@millin360 thank you! i’m a first time homebuyer and didn’t really know to look for this stuff. it’s a solid home and has lasted this long. i’m sure it’ll be fine haha. thanks for the reassurance
Welcome to home ownership!
3:25 ??? You don't want to get all the mud out from the back, being to dry in the back is what the causes bubbles, it's the tape not adhering because all the mud was squeezed out..
To be clear, the process is to get the excess mud out from behind the tape. Obviously if there's no mud behind the tape, there is no adhesive to stick the tape to the wall.
@@millin360 yeah u said 'you want to get as MUCH of the liquid out as you can'.... To the diy homeowners out there they take every word of these type video 100% literal. And they will stand there and squeeze every drop of mud out from under the tape because that's what you said/infered. You gotta be careful trying to help people, because you may just make them perform horrendous fix that bubbles right off the wall when it dries.
When you see cracks like that, does that mean you should sell the house?
Not at all, when a home is built, the materials are ridged and stiff, they are the temperature and barometric pressure of the climate you are building in. As the home ages, those things change. The home expands and contracts. These environmental changes can cause the home to "rest" in a different position than that it was built in. This ever so slight movement causes "stress cracks".
With that said, there are cases where the builder did something wrong, and the movement is due to poor structure. Those types of cracks are usually much larger and reoccur after being fixed. A structural engineer should be called to evaluate those.
As soon as you said that you are a realtor, I stopped the video 👎
I'm curious, why would being a Realtor affect your opinion of the work being performed? You apparently missed the part where I mentioned I'm also a 40+ year home repair professional (who happens to have his real estate brokers license). Jumping to conclusions is something you may want to work on. None the less, thanks for helping out the algorithm by commenting on my video.
