If you’re like most people, you’ve probably had to deal with a hole in your wall at some point. Whether it’s from a door knob or a picture frame, holes in drywall are pretty common.
Luckily, they’re also pretty easy to fix. Here’s what you need to do:
First, you’ll need to gather some supplies. You’ll need a piece of drywall, a drywall saw, some joint compound, and some sandpaper. Once you have all of your supplies, you’re ready to get started.
1. Use the drywall saw to cut out the damaged section of drywall. Cut along the edges of the hole until you have a square or rectangular piece that you can remove.
2. Cut a piece of new drywall to fit into the hole. Make sure it’s the same thickness as the rest of the wall and that the edges are nice and straight.
3. Place the new piece of drywall into the hole and secure it with screws. Use washers on the screws if necessary to make sure they’re going into solid wood.
4. Apply joint compound around the edges of the new piece of drywall and smooth it out with your putty knife. Be sure to feather the edges so it blends in with the rest of the wall.
5. Allow the joint compound to dry thoroughly before sanding it down so it’s flush with the rest of the wall.
6. Paint over any areas that need touch-ups and enjoy your newly repaired wall!
