Hole in Ceiling Repair in Richmond and Chesterfield, Virginia
Have a hole in your ceiling?
Whether it was caused by an attic accident, moving furniture, plumbing work, electrical repairs, or water damage, a hole in the ceiling can be unsightly and stressful for homeowners.
Recently, a Chesterfield homeowner contacted Southern Home Handy after accidentally stepping through his attic ceiling while retrieving stored boxes. One misplaced step off a ceiling joist caused his leg to break through the drywall, leaving a large hole in the ceiling below.
Fortunately, this type of damage can often be repaired much faster than most homeowners realize. This is not an advertisement for USG, but this is what I like to use to get the job done...quickly!

How We Repair a Hole in the Ceiling
Our first step is removing any loose or damaged drywall around the affected area. This creates a clean surface for a long-lasting repair.
Next, we install new drywall and securely fasten it to the framing members above.
After the drywall is installed, we tape the seams and apply a professional-grade fast-drying joint compound. Unlike traditional drywall mud that may require multiple days to dry, this specialized plaster hardens quickly and allows us to complete repairs much faster.
Once the repair has dried, we sand the area smooth and prepare it for painting.
Same-Day Ceiling Repairs
One advantage of using fast-drying plaster is that many ceiling repairs can be completed the same day.
After sanding, we apply ceiling white paint and blend the repaired area into the surrounding ceiling. In many cases, the repair becomes virtually invisible.
Homeowners are often surprised at how quickly a professional drywall repair can restore a ceiling to its original appearance.
