Holes in drywall are a common issue—whether from doorknobs, accidents, or old fixtures. Repairing them is easier than you think.

Follow these steps:

1. Clean the Area
2. Remove any loose debris or crumbling drywall around the hole.
3. Choose the Right Patch Method
4. Small holes (nail/screw size): Use spackle or joint compound.
5. Medium holes (up to 6 inches): Apply a mesh patch or adhesive drywall patch.
6. Large holes: Cut a new piece of drywall to fit and secure it with screws.
7. Apply Joint Compound
8. Spread evenly over the patch using a putty knife. Feather the edges to blend with the wall.
9. Sand Smooth
10. Once dry, lightly sand the area until flush with the surrounding wall.
11. Prime & Paint
12. Apply primer, then paint to match the rest of the wall.

💡 Pro Tip: For a seamless finish, apply two thin coats of joint compound instead of one thick layer.
