Finally getting to watch someone who has talent and pride in their drywall work! My daughter and I specialized in drywall repairs for years. Basically we were painters and just got into the wall repair by accident. We always aimed for perfection. Matching many older texture styles was always so fun. Our aim was to make cracks and dents completely disappear. I have never done the backing board thing, but have imagined this very technique in my mind....this video was amazing! Thank you!
What method will be useful for arresting water leak from the upper floor rest room? They suggest the application of crack- filler solution after drilling with the help of a machine! Will it be useful. Kindly advise me, as I keep the premises unoccupied due to this problem for several months!
@@rajendranthangavel9161you fix the leak. If you try to waterproof the drywall you will just end up with a bigger problem by the time you notice it’s wet.
It’s nice to see someone who knows, and knows how to teach people how to do it the right way 👍🏻
Yes sir! Figured this method out on my own! Everyone I talked to said I was over killing and using mesh tape when I should be using paper tape. This process has never let me down! You do a very good job! A person could actually start a nice, profitable repair business following these instructions! Thank you!
I thoroughly enjoy watching individuals who take great pride in their work and do it to the best of their ability. It provides insight into and helps one appreciate their professional and makes me admire their skill and craftsmanship.
First time I've heard the right way to mud fiberglass tape. I'm just a DIY homeowner, so I took some notes. Thanks for sharing your skill.
This is the perfect solution for my bedroom ceiling. Thanks! I'm a 65 yr old grandma doing my own repair. Lol
You go Nana!🔥 Thanks so much for watching and subscribing!😎 -Paul
My mom too she just turned 70. I offer to help but she loves doing it so I'm allowed a few jobs lol
The sheet rock in my garage ceiling is doing exactly that at every joint thanks for the tips!
.. same reason I watched ,,, and yea ,,, furring strip was good tip .
Same issue here. What’s the deal with garage ceilings?
Mine too.
Nice work! 👏 Thanks for keeping it to the point with no crappy music added....
75 yrs old Was a Drywaller for over 40 years. Good job!
Seeing how the Pro’s do it, really helps us understand the process. Thanks for sharing your craft & wisdom.
Just purchased a new house today and one of the first things I noticed were these type of flaws. Really appreciate the expert knowledge and I hope you continue with these type of educational videos.
The furring strip insertion hack is FREAKING BRILLIANT!!!!!!! Thank you!
..
it was not a hack job; it was very good
This video is a great help in fixing multiple cracks in my garage. The furring strip idea really addresses my ceiling cracks solution so I don’t have to climb up in the attic to add strips to the joists.
That’s awesome Roger!🔥 Yeah this furring strip trick is perfect for that. And the cracks won’t come back if you follow these steps.👍🏻 Glad you’re enjoying my videos. Thanks so much for watching and subscribing my friend!😎 -Paul
Have an eight foot crack in livingroom ceiling spanning the old 2X4 trusses. I have been up in that area doing electrical and venting over the years and my weight probably flexed the trusses. Really like that furring strip repair example in your video. Thanks. I'm doing one on the Master Bedroom electrical outlet cutout, where I am installing a much larger outlet box to ensure enough air space for cooling of the 21 electrical connections in there. Nice video, now I know how to fix this ceiling crack professionally. I worked in the 1970's for a short period as a drywall grunt for a journeyman and we would sheetrock a 3 br/2 ba split level in around 8 or so hours. That is when I learned to hammer from any angle thousands of times a day.....back then we used nails.
I have come to use fiba fuse on everything, really love how well it works especially on bad joints that already stick out
gotten expensive,
You did a good job. I would of added one thing. Before mesh, V out the flat seam out a smig... then add liquid nail... putting enough pressure to have it squeeze all the way thru to the opposite side of the drywall, and fill the V... then mesh away. No hump, no issues with mud dry or flashing. But it’s a forever fix.
10/10 - This isn't just a cover the crack quick fix. You're getting to the root of the crack and fixing that. Great video. That and your texturing techniques. I've been doing home drywalls repairs for 3 years(as an amateur home owner). I think I'm pretty decent for an amateur, and I'm constantly criticizing my work every time I walk by it. I learn something new with each of your videos. I may punch a hole in one of my walls just so I can fix it. That's actually not necessary since I have several ceiling cracks and some wall work to do in my spare time. Keep up the good videos
Need to repair 2 boards that have
Separated
Your drywall, taping, and mud help videos have saved me thousands. I pick a small job and try it. Perfect my process and move on to a bigger job. Doing diy on my own place makes sense and helps me save big costs. Thanks!!! 😊
Yep, that is how you do it! Basically, all drywall seams need backing.
Exactly, if it's hot room to move it has room to crack.
Makes sure to tell that to all the "professional" drywallers...my house is a mess because of bad joint locations, 24" spacing and no backing at joints...I just fixed a ceiling in my bathroom, bad tape job. Peeled right off...Should be good now. No I'm not a pro just hate shoddy work. Takes me longer than a pro, probably more sanding but looks good and lasts...
im going to be fixing up my living room soon so this will come in handy!
I had some water leak from the kitchen to basement. About 3ft n three different area's I left the tape up remuded over it sanded it down and texted it but there were still a lump in the ceiling do I have to remove all that tape and redo it
I've been a drywall "taper" for almost 48 years now. For the first 39 years all I did was a lot of production piece work using taping tools exclusively. Where not only did you have to be fast, but you must turn out quality work to make the money. Yep... I'm that old and still doing it and have pretty much seen it all. I've gotten into more remodel jobs these last almost 10 years now because that's where the money is now.
I despise cracks in the ceiling. One reason why is trying to match textures. I try really hard to do them where they disappear. And I'm pretty good at it. But... it's a patch. Your dealing with mils (many coats) of paint, light going across the surface and picky homeowners. I always tell them "It's a patch". And I do the best I can with all the experience I have to make it right. Then give them an option of fixing the patch... which "should" come out right.. for $XX.00. Or... I can do the whole ceiling for $XXX.00. They almost always go for the $XX.00.
One of the biggest reasons cracks appear in the first place... 2' centers on the trusses/ joist and 1/2" drywall. I've seen this done on custom homes and track houses.
It's sound structurally, but it moves way to much. If home builders pull that stunt... they need to use 5/8" rock.
In my experience about mesh tape. See all those holes in it? I've seen numerous patches, and sometimes whole houses taped with that stuff. "Hot Mud" or regular... it "can" crack straight down the joint line. It's a risk I'm not taking. It's a "do it yourselfer" product because you don't have the blister issue of not getting the proper amount of joint compound under the paper tape.
I use a lot of 5 minute "Hot Mud" because it just works faster when doing those small area patches. Not recommend if you move like molasses LoL!. Many times I've mixed up a sack and a half of 20 minute in a bucket and use it up before it goes off.
I haven't had time to look at your other patching videos. So I'll just say this now... rub the edges of the patches with a wet sponge to blend into the old texture when your ready to texture the patch. It will kill the edge and make a better blend. And if that's what you recommend... good for you.
So do you strictly use paper tape for everything? What about fibafuse?
@@classiccountryrevival8563 I've never used that stuff before. I know drywall tape. And I still push a bazooka around on bigger jobs. That fiber type tape will not work in a bazooka. One 250' roll of it is almost over 4 times the cost of one 500' roll of the paper tape. It looks like you have to carry a razor knife to cut it too. It doesn't makes sense to me because the regular tape works fine.
This is the perfect solution to 2 crack in my kitchen ceiling that happened while doing attic work. Thanks, very helpful.
DYI here, enjoying the videos, I’m researching. I’ve got a big mess, plaster walls and most of the ceiling appears to be plastered. They had covered both with paneling, which I removed. Water damage, roof repaired, sistered some beams, removed the nail glue but lots of holes left to patch, cracks to fix. I’m thinking after those are repaired skimming and knock down are going to be the best approach. Thanks for the videos.
Thanks for sharing this video sir. This really helped me with my grandson’s ceiling.
Excellent tip! I have this same problem. Now I know how to fix it properly. Thank you!
Oh my gosh!!! I have been watching and watching ceiling crack fixes. This is the best fix video that I have seen. It is so logical and prefect.
I can't thank you enough for the sense of empowerment I got from this video. I am in a 2 yo home that has ceiling cracks just like those in the video. Very disappointed in the build quality, but now know the solution. I will be a new subscriber!
Thank you! I have watched dozens of drywall videos and you are the first one to give really useful tips and techniques and avoid irrelevant nonsense and channel pimping. This is the first video that didn't make me scream "Get To The Point!" Thanks Paul! Keep up the great work. I now subscribe only to you.
I really appreciate your feedback!💥👊🏻 Thanks so much for watching and subscribing my friend! -Paul
THIS IS SLICK we removed a wall and had a beam installed inside the ceiling about 6 months ago. Same exact problem now exists, will definitely be trying this out thanks for the tip
One of your better how to videos. Ceiling cracks stink for sure. One of my rental properties years ago, a potential tenant saw a crack like the one you fixed and bailed on renting from us, saying it was a deal breaker. She was paranoid and thought the place would fall apart. It was Only cosmetic! Paul have you heard of those screw setter bits Dewalt makes that allows you to instantly sink a screw into drywall perfectly every time in one motion? You don't have to slow the drill down at the end because the guard on the bit stops it perfectly.
I appreciate that Jeff.🔥 Haha... Yeah some people get freaked out if they see a crack in their ceiling. Are you talking about a dimpler bit for a drill? Yes, use them all the time on new drywall.👍🏻 I don’t really use them on repairs though. Because it’s not usually a flat surface that I’m trying to screw into. Thanks so much for watching and commenting man! -Paul
Thanks for all the pointers. I'm new to DIY, and your videos are awesome. I can't wait to try them out. I'll keep you posted. Keep them coming❤
A great job!! I have the same problem in my home in my kitchen and LR! I wish I could find someone to take pride in there work. I recently bought this home and had it inspected and everyday I have a new crack in a room.
Great repair technique,I don’t think homeowners realize what it takes to properly fix a ceiling crack.
So true Pete!👍🏻 Especially if they want it fixed right!!! Thanks so much for watching and commenting man!🔥😎 -Paul
Thanks for the crack repair information....now i know why cracks keep reappearing. Maybe this next time I will do it the right way....practice makes perfect!
I have found that with your passing along knowledge about crack repair the better I get at doing it the nicer my vocabulary gets!
I did almost everything right except the furring strip. I wish I would have seen this sooner. The ceiling looked great and then in six months I saw a hairline crack. Ugh! Thanks for the video.
If you have problems getting block of wood into hole with drywall screw in it, Try placing a center mark on wood and push wood in hole without screw, then work a string, cord, or wire around wood, move wood in place using center mark for reference, and pull down on string, cord or wire while driving in screws then remove string, you can do same on walls but need to tape string on back of wood so not to drop wood down inside wall. Might need a glove on while pulling down on string. This works well in tight spaces like in ceilings where roof angle is close or wall which has an outlet box or framing in wall in opposite room restricting your hole access.

after you put the firring strip through the hole turn it 90 degrees so it will span more of the joint. Ceiling trusses are typically 24 inches o.c. which leaves roughly 21 inches between trusses. If your fir strip is 12 inches long and more or less centered between trusses that leaves only about 4-5 inches of unsupported joint.
Thank you.
You just took the scary out of what I see in my home.. Had the foundation lifted a few years back and I'm still seeing the results. For me seeing and not understanding is scary.
Understanding leads to learning how to maintain and remedy the issues that 'I can'.
Though, you being on that ladder .. woa.. I don't do heights. And I felt WE were up there through the video. Let me tell you, I wanted down. lol
Thank You, again

Timely video for me, have same issue on ceilings in a flip home I am working on. Thanks Paul!
That’s awesome Jimmy!🔥👍🏻 Good luck on your project! Thanks so much for watching and subscribing my friend!😎 -Paul
Thank you Paul. I will try that technique on some repairs that keeps surfecing up here at home, nearby the windows. My entire leaving room ceilings has cracks, I wonder if it is worth it fixing it or replacing. The home was built in the 50’s and has plaster and that nasty spraid acoustic in the attic!
You make this look easy, nice job. I would be their all day on that repair.
When you mix up easy sand whether it’s 20 , 45 or 90 , always clean your bucket or pan well and use cold water . Quick mud is hot mud . It gets hot . So the colder the water the longer the compound will stay usable .
20 should actually last about 30 minutes . Etc
This is a great tip! Fiberglass tape also works great across surfaces of different materials. Knocking off high spots with a 6" knife can usually prevent need to sand- of course, practice, practice, practice! Thanks!
I bought my house over 1 yr ago and still cant move into it. I’ve had one contractor/ handyman after another come talk a good game and take my $$$. They do a crappy job and i have to hire someone else to fix it. These videos make me more knowledgeable as to how the job should be done. Needless to say when they realize that I know a bit about the process they don’t want to work with me! The silver lining is that they can no longer blow smoke up my a** and take my money. Thank u!
Sorry to hear you’ve had a bad experience with a contractor. 😡 Unfortunately, it happens a lot. I don’t understand how they can sleep at night!!! Sure glad my videos can educate you to see these donkeys BS! I hope you get in your home soon!👍🏻 Thanks so much for watching and subscribing my friend!😎 -Paul
Generally speaking, in this field, you get what you pay for
So true Muzic!👍🏻 And everyone “says” they can do drywall...🙄 Thanks for watching and commenting my friend! -Paul
Shirley, I seen a divorce lady, with 2 kids, built her own 2 story Brick home, by of all things watching you tube videos DIYs. This video is priceless. I can say I was impressed by this lady. So we can all learn.
Great tip. I'm going to use some plaster washers tomorrow to snug some bowing plaster to wood lath.
Super tip ! I like the furring strip insert!! Indeed fibafuse would’ve been also a great option and there is a hot mud from Certainteed called lite sand plus specially developed by Chemists to stick to painted surface thus eliminating the need for a primer and it is sandable as well! Love the video 👍🏽👍🏽
Hey there Doctor Mud!💥👊🏻 Yes, this furring strip trick is pretty slick for sure! The best part is that it really works!!! I have not heard of that Certainteed mud. I’ll have to look into that. Thanks for the head up on that!👍🏻 Glad you’re enjoying my videos. Thanks so much for watching and subscribing my friend!😎 -Paul
I do repairs at an apartment building that is 100 years old. Yes you read that right. 100 years. It’s almost petrified. I have to drive pilot holes most of the time. Anyway when I repair the drywall it’s so old, most of the time swollen and crumbly. Any tips on that? My least fav is overhead. Thank you so much! I just kinda ran into your channel. You make it look so easy!
If it is 100 yrs old and has never been remodeled, it is most likely plaster lath, thin wooden strips, with a 3/8" gap between them, covered with plaster which has horse hair mixed into it. The horse hair helped act like mini rebars to give the plaster strength. After plaster lath, came Rocklath [roughly 18" x 4'] , then came drywall.
that strip was brilliant
I really appreciate that! Thank you so much for watching and commenting!💥👍🏻😎
The drywall repair was done right except i use paper tape it never failed me.
If you are using mesh tape you have to use a different gage a lot thicker and stronger it’s used in the plaster trade sometimes.
🙋🏻♂️👍🙂
Thanks for the video. This will help me repair a drywall ceiling crack from accidently stepping between the joists in the attic. I've watched twice, but have yet to see what you refer to as "guards"; what are they, where are they and how do you do them? Thanx.
Your timing is perfect. This video cane up just as I was starting my ceiling. I'm learning a lot from your videos. Thank you!
hello from 2021! this is the best vid out there on fixing stuff like this. Superb job man
That’s the part I like the best is he use the pieces that he cuts and they fit back perfectly
Perfect timing , Paul! I have a crack similar to this between two rooms. Truss movement for sure.Now I am going to fix it using your technique. Thanks...
That’s awesome Martin!👍🏻 How did it turn out? Thanks so much for watching and subscribing my friend!😎 -Paul
Got one going all the way across my living room. Thanks for the tips.
Paul, good method with the extra blocking, but in 30 yrs of drywall I have found that you need the continuous membrane of paper tape, using fiberglass tape the cracks will just reflect through the mesh and you will have cracks again. We stopped using mesh back in the 80's.
I did this about two years ago but did not have any flex in the drywall. Have you every used Saint-Gobain's ? Lowes carries it and I switched to it from FibaTape and still use 20 min mud, works every so good. Thanks from the Palm Beaches for giving your knowledge on this part of home repair. Much appreciated.
Good job brother!
I’ve been doing this stuff for 50 years 👍🏻
Great tips, Paul! I've always do that same trick with the screw in the furring strip too. And here I thought I was just clever.
Well look who the poodle drug in!😂 That’s cool Daniel. I still think you’re a clever fella!🤟🏻 I really appreciate you stopping by my friend!🙏
I sneak in here every now and again just to make sure you're staying out of trouble :D
Haha... I need that! 🤟🏻
We always set 1x4 or 1x2 furring strips under rafters with 16 O.C and then screw drywall to those furring strips, never seen any ceiling crack because it's so well fixed.
Im becoming very very good at drywall install/ patching etc. thank you paul.
Thanks about to do the same to my ceiling. Thanks for tip
i like the shot out u did and the extra block joint
i've had a 10' foot long ceiling crack, two different drywall guys have patched it up and cracks again. they definitely didn't do what you're doing. i also believe there was a wall there before and wondering if its more of a framing issue? great video!
Having my ceilings cracks fixed tomorrow. I'm a sahm so I figured I should learn about this... So I know what to watch for when they do the work. Wish me luck! Lol. Great video! You ars very helpful and knowledgeable.
Right on Megs!👍🏻 I really appreciate your feedback! Thanks so much for watching and subscribing!😎 -Paul
@@PaulPeck well he did the 1st part and then stood me up today.. So... I guess I just gotta do things on my own. Can't now since I'm almost 7 montha pregnant. I'm not happy. And your welcome!
Have a cieling crack that appeared following a roofing job. Ceiling is drywall. Crack is pretty long, starts at a corner, goes about 20 feet. Notice that there is movement in drywall. So This furring strip technique is reccomended for a job like this? Considering the length of the crack you reccomend multiple strips? Or only where the drywall has give? Had foundation people in to make sure it isn't foundation. The crack is not scraight straight, kind of has multiple start stops but all in line.
Need a video dedicated to "Kevin's Comments" lol going to be on the lookout for them now!
.. Thanks for the tip with the furring strips . And also Great work for not just letting it sag ,,, and for fixing it correctly . 👍 .
Hi Paul Awesome Explaination & Teaching,One of our bedroom have crack in the midle of the ceiling.
i m not professional but i learn alot from you,i guess i still need little more help before i start the project,i m having very hard time find the wood in ceiling where i have to put the nails.
That furring strip is a slick trick. It is also why it will not crack again. I'm going to watch more of your channel. Just hit the subscribe button!
Right on Carl!💥👊🏻 I love this ceiling repair trick. Thanks so much for watching and subscribing my friend!😎 -Paul
This is one of the best explained drywall video's I've seen. Thanks
I do hotel maintenance. These videos are great. Thanks Paul
Tyfs !!! We have several cracked places too. Do you have a video on replacing the floor trim ? Sorry don't if that's the correct name Baseboards ? Ours are old & I told hubby if we replace it would add an updated look to the home
Great video! Thank you for the tips it's working out really well. Crack was so annoying, I had no idea how to fix it until I saw this video. Thanks!
Am I enjoying these videos... HELL YES! Your explanations are concise, you don't go too fast, your a natural... Thanks!
I just have to get a tall enough ladder for the vaulted ceiling now. Those blocks were a thing of beauty. The only question I have is what consistency should the 20 minutes drywall mud be for the 3 coats? I have painted popcorn and just watched your video on that, which blew me away also. It's like when you watch plasterers very cool.
Very informative, thanks for posting this video.
*Sometimes* you can use Bondo. As long as it's thin and light.
I have cracks form across the center of mobile homes. I scrape the old texture away and patch it perfectly but when it comes time to match the knock down. Its hard to hide the 12 ft or so strip i scraped out of the ceiling to reveal the crack. ...otherwords its hard to match it to both sides of the patch that i didnt scrape.
Thank you, this video came in so handy . It gives me a good idea how to get started on fixing the cracks.
As a DIY guy I've done a lot of drywall repairs. I appreciate all you video's they help often. I just bought a retirement home for ourselves. The ceilings are in fair shape, there are a few joints that separated and have no problem doing them. However, the ceiling was finished using a spraying application and they mixed mica in with the paint (stuff the use to do back in the 60,s thru the 80's.) I won't be spraying the finish, most likely using a roller. I can't find mica anywhere in my area or online. Any ideas on where to purchase? I like the look of the reflection, especially with the fireplace blazing. Thanks for taking the time to answer.
Everyone knows Electricians know everything 🤣 But I’ll be the first one to say, I DO NOT!! I appreciated this video, thank you...new sub✌️
Crack on ceiling in kitchen...glad I saw your vid
Been watching ceiling do this for the last year. A straight one. I'm going to assume I have this same issue. Pretty much straight.
Finally another that knows how to do it right
Excellent video tip....now what if your drywall is 1935 vintage made with concrete ??? I have cracks that always return.....and my walls are plaster over terra cotta tile block.. ALL walls.....stucco exterior... better learn to plaster.
I was thinking kilz. Argh 😤 Also the tape my Pap used (before they made any) is bubbling up in EVERY room except the kitchen which was dropped. I NEED A SCAFFOLD CHARLIE BROWN!!!
not sure I'm ever going to be that comfortable at top of ladder this high
Nice tip. "furring strip"? Like that
Thanks for sharing. I used the same method as you. LOVE it.
Hi Paul, A little nervous about the fur strip you placed in the ceiling. I think I missed why it was needed & how you determine if it's needed: hence my nervousness about having to do that.
This right here is reason enough to subscribe 👍🏻 good stuff
Thank you so much for watching and subscribing my friend!💥👏🏻😎
Do you have a video on how to fix a bunch of short thin cracks in the corner between wall and ceiling? The house is 50 years old and the room was last painted 20 years ago. Thanks!
This awesome information! Thank so much. I was worried sick about how to fix an ugly failure in my house 👍👍
I had the same problem on a customer house. But i went to the attic and put a piece of plywood with glue. Then i put screws from the bottom. Fix it with 20 minutes mud. Now is solid... Take time to do that..
Add some construction adhesive to the furring strips.
New DIY viewer here. Enjoyed your video. Concise and informative. I'm Looking for information on repairing a kitchen ceiling crack. The small crack recently expanded, after a floor joist repair. It is about 8 inches out from the wall, and is between 2 trusses. How do I attach the 2 drywall sections to each other, when there is nothing above to screw them to? Do you have a specific video that addresses this? Thank you.
Nice work, but it looks a long way up on that ladder! Lol! I have a 70's ranch style house with the brush stomp pattern all over the ceiling. It's going to be a challenge matching some bad places have! Thanks for the videos! Tom
Very useful info. Thank you.
Do you have a video on how to repair cracks that don't involve a tape joint ?
Yep! Sure do. 👍 ruclips.net/video/k3tCQy4-Emw/видео.html Let me know if this helps. -Paul
Great tip Paul. I have a question, I just started 3 years ago and I'm been having some doubts about old apartments ( I live and work in Montreal, CA), the old ceilings in the bathrooms I've realized that they have some kind of metallic mesh then the sheetrock, after a leaking damage on these kind of ceilings, if I would want to do a patch can I just use the water resistant drywall or I would have to apply this same metallic mesh onto the patch.... I hope you know what I'm talking about. Gettings and good videos
Hey there Ricardo, you can just use the moisture resistant drywall.👍🏻 You might need to shim the framing to get the drywall to sit flush with the existing ceiling. Because plaster is usually thicker than drywall. I hope this makes sense? Thanks so much for watching and subscribing man!😎 -Paul
