If You'd Like to Give Your Drywall Repairs a DIY Chance...

Here's a few hints, but remember it usually takes a great deal of experience to get drywall repairs to look seamless and blend well. DIY drywall repairs often result in frustrating projects that may cause more work for a professional.

1. Patch Small Holes with Toothpaste (Temporary Fix)

If you're in a pinch and need a fast, temporary solution for tiny holes (like nail holes), a dab of white toothpaste can work wonders. Smooth it over the hole with a putty knife and wipe away excess with a damp cloth. Once dry, it will harden and blend better until you can apply a more permanent solution.

Pro Tip: For a long-term fix, use spackle instead of toothpaste, followed by light sanding and a touch-up with matching paint.

2. Use a Self-Adhesive Patch for Medium-Sized Holes

NO NEVER USE ONE OF THESE!

• These usually turn out as medium to large bumps on a wall that stand out in a really bad way.

• While these are highly marketed as some quick fix, it is far from that.

3. Tackle Cracks with Joint Compound and Tape

Cracks in drywall are common, especially in areas with shifting temperatures. To fix them:

• Remove any loose material around the crack.

• Apply a thin layer of joint compound.

• Press drywall tape over the compound and smooth out.

• Apply additional layers of compound until the crack is fully covered and smooth.

• Sand, prime, and paint.

At Hand Heroes, we understand the importance of precise repairs and offer professional services to restore cracked drywall to like-new condition.

4. Match Wall Texture Like a Pro

One of the trickiest parts of drywall repair is matching the texture. Here's a DIY method:

• Use a sponge or stippling brush to mimic the existing wall texture.

• Apply joint compound in a similar pattern to your wall’s texture.

Need a Pro? Matching textures is one of our specialties at At Hand Heroes. We can seamlessly blend your repaired areas with your existing wall texture and color.

5. Color-Match Paint for Seamless Repairs

A perfectly patched wall can still look off if the paint doesn’t match. Here are tips for success:

• Use leftover paint from the original job if available.

• If not, take a small paint chip to a hardware store for color matching.

• Always use the same finish (matte, eggshell, or gloss) for consistency.

Why Choose Us? Like all of our work, we are your go-to from start to finish. We expertly color-match paint to ensure your repair blends as seamlessly as possible with the rest of your wall.

Final Hint: Using high-quality products trusted by professionals is essential for achieving durable, polished, and aesthetically pleasing drywall repairs in your home.
