I am curious, how many of you have had to deal with these nail/screw pops? How many are now looking at their walls? 😂
I have an entire vertical column of nail pops in drywall installed in the garage 55+ years ago using nails. I am planning to use screws between the nails, then scrape off excess above the nail head, hammer the nails in a bit, and see how the drywall fits. I have used Elmers Color Change Wood Filler.& there is some left in the container. I'll wait til the temp hovers around 70º, then repaint the area with a much smaller roller. Your step of first backing out the screws is a new step for me. thanks. I would be interested in a video showing how to fix cracks in vertical drywall above corners of doors and windows. :¬) Webhead USA
Just did this last weekend, and had a couple where the screws would go in for some reason, so I created more work for myself.
The Dap DryDex is a handy spackling, nice to know when you can finish the job.
This was a great repair, but there are hundreds if not thousands of wall repair videos out there and they are all on smooth walls. I would like to see some repairs on textured walls and ceilings.
Hang a photo over it..😊
I put spackle over the hole. Then take and old stiff paint brush and bump it straight on to match the texture.
Great job. But, if, and I usually do, put the two extra screws in, I remove the original one.
Instead of all the sanding and the dust mess, get the spackling as smooth as possible and then let it dry. After it’s dry look to see if you need a second coat. If so do it then rub a wet sponge over the area and it is now smooth with no sanding and no dust.
Awesome, very informative. Say, can you someday also do a video on how to fix cracked corner beads? Thanks!
Yes, in fact, I have one that keeps cracking even though a drywall company has come out to fix it. The problem is the house settling and the corner bead not being secured down well enough. So yes at some point I will be doing that. Not sure when though. Thanks for the feedback Steven!
I love it! Extra screws and start sanding edges. 👍👍👍
Always appreciate your videos. This looks like a pretty good way to do it. My problem is walking around in the attic and slipping on the ceiling drywall ; the nails pop through. I use a punch to knock the nails back in and pretty much do everything you did after the screws. Just got to be more careful when walking in the attic and stay off the drywall.
For nail pops on a textured wall I tap the nail in a little more then put white paintable caulk in the hole. I can simulate the wall texture with the caulk. Once dry it is painted. If there is a little future movement the caulk flexes and won’t crack.
Good video.....I prefer to use a hand tool rather than a power drill/driver to avoid over tightening.
Thanks!
Very helpful. Thank you👍.
You are very welcome! Really glad to hear you found it helpful. Thanks a lot for the feedback!
Thumbs up 👍 good job 👏
I always prime first. Some latex wont stick to dry way spackling
What about those of us who have TEXTURED walls/ceilings with nail/screw pops? Got a video for that?
Same thing..but reproduce your texture
What grit sandpaper should we use?
I like to use fine grit sandpaper. Anywhere from 150-220. I personally like to use 220 for little spots like this one.
Yeah man.. do a video about fixing cracked ceiling/ceiling nail pops. I’m asking for a friend. 😅
😂 A friend huh? Yeah in the future I may do that as I have a place where that has happened in my home. Appreciate the feedback Jason!
I have the same problem on my ceiling🙄
How about a video showing the repair where the wall has seperated from the ceiling. I'm guessing its caused by settling in a fairly new build. I have 3 outside corners that have pulled away from the ceiling, one as much as 1/2 inch. I'm thinking I would have to shore or jack up the joist in the crawlspace before a repair would be successful. Your thoughts would be appreciated.
Hard to say from here, 😂 but 1/2” of settling is a lot and uncommon, so a concern re: foundation. At least check it out before covering it up. My 2 cents.
@@markoshun I'm guessing from your response I didn't explain it correctly. The walls are not the outside walls on the block foundation, they are interior walls on the joists and subfloor. One interior wall that forms a corner from the kitchen to the open living room the other that forms a corner for dining area to the master bedroom. Thought it might be a twist in the joist but their manufactured I joists and was told they aren't prone to twisting.
@@davidadkins4648 Still can’t really tell from description, so I’ll just stay at 1/2” is a concerning amount of separation. When you are talking about settling and jacking/shoring up floor joists, that’s foundational.
You can put a level on the floor near those corners, and/or on the joists in the crawl space to try to get more info.. But really hard to know without seeing it and poking around. Manufactured joists don’t usually move, so could be worth checking the ceiling as well.
Would the same step apply for ceiling nail pops?
Yes, although, depending on your ceiling texture, the finish may vary. So I have knockdown ceilings so I would use just barely enough spackle to to fill the hole. Almost no sanding as it will blend in.
This is what I hate about drywall work. Lots of work to deal with a tiny nailhead pop!
What if it's an actual nail? Do you just knock it in a bit?
This is for a future video. A friend of mine has a GeoSpring heat pump water heater. The fan has gone out and I am frustrated by highly inadequate videos on this repair. Only ones I find show the cover off and a guy pulling the fan out and sticking another in. No screws, no wiring, no info on sources or cost or nothing. I may not be a very smart woman but I know sucky instructions when I see them.
I have a bunch of pops in my ceiling. We had new floors installed on the second floor. The pounding must have made the nails pop out in the ceiling of the first floor. I’m sure they are nails. House is 45 years old.
What if your wall has the knockdown texture on it?
A couple ways. You might be able to put a few very small, different size blobs of the compound and lightly drag the blade over it. You could buy a spray can of knockdown, but kind of over kill for this small area. Mix up some actual compound a little watery and flick it on with your fingers. The spray can works well, but you'd be wasting it unless you had several areas to do.
The problem is that the paint color will never match correctly if the paint on the wall has been there for many years. And then if the wall has texture, good luck making that blend in.
Adding two more screws around a nail pop. Might as well. How about holding a woodblock on the nail pop first, and giving it a few blows? Sometimes, the stud face has a drywall crumb or a nail protruding that has created a void or space between the stud and drywall
Texture? Hello?
Hi?
What about a nail pop instead of a screw.
Thst's a TON of paint to get a roller wet.
Well if you want lines on the wall that make the patch area more obvious, you can use a paint brush. Rollers are easy to rinse off right after use and use them again in the future.
@@HowToHomeDIYuse a smaller roller.
@janicelindegard6615 why does this matter? It’s a 4 or 4.5 inch roller. It already is a smaller roller.
@@HowToHomeDIY I meant the person who said about of paint was needed on the roller. Not commenting on your roller.
@janicelindegard6615 oh ok. I was like, I can’t go much smaller 😂. Thanks for clarifying.
