Drywall Repair Tutorial | NO Sanding | THE HANDYMAN |

You just built a little mini-me wall!

Quick tip, If you go and buy those 50$ husky ground led shop lights, you can see a lot more from what your sanding and make your patches even more invisible. Keep up the great work👍

Stucco mason here. The materials and labor translate welll from inside to outside (lath & stucco vs gypsum). Two 2x3 (approx) patches like that, front row (front of house- eye level) 1.8-2.2k. The biggest variable for us is tying into existing lath and sometimes that goes sideways. Low end is the easy texture like skip trowel, knockdown or curl and the high end is running the acrylic coats/textures on top.

$1800

2k min labor. Material 500. It's actually worth more but people will not want to do it its easy. But dinner for wife is 500 easy. Mechanic 90 per hour you bring your own car. It's ridiculous how we are not appreciated enough

Ive been doing pro drywall texturing on new construction for a while. did a andful of remodel jobs where we had to go in and do patching. I have since quit and gone solo, doing the handyman thing. The shit youre teaching is valuable to me. Did you really hot mud the whole process? Also the fiberglass tape. Im going to use nothing but from here on out. And the sponge! im never gonna sand a patch again. just scrape it decent and sponge it down. Still like my trowel though. You can keep that 12 inch knife

Yeah, where’s the beard? Also in one of your last videos, no more tool vest? What’s up?
Your work always impresses me!!!

Handyman's good at whatever he tackles.

Great video thank you ! Another question I wish you will answer one day is what is your philosophy on growing your business by hiring people to work for you. What a Handyman should do if they are getting more and more work that they cannot handle as a “one man show”
It looks like you found the way to grow your income by yourself without hiring people to work for you and that is amazing!!!
If you posted a video about this subject in the past my apology.

1700

Perfect!

Next time we're going through all that removal all them little chunks put a three-quarter by two and a half inch strip up and down the stud to pack it out three quarters of an inch then rip your studs to fit I'm already putting my sheetrock up fellow handyman / jack of all trades Albert Handyman services

Material labor I'd say $1285.

Very nice job

You wearing a sub?

where are your gloves?

"For the ladies, you might want to use a push stick?"

How about something NOT sexist, and "for those who like their phalanges, you should use a push stick?"

Where are your safety glasses?

Nice work!!! Perfect match!!! Perfectly executed start to finish!!!

Nice work as always!

$2800.00

$1700 for entire job?

Use a push stick. Don't ever think it can't happen to you.

$2,000.00 job to fix those walls

You're an expert at triggering people with that 500 buck "materials" quote haha. I think it works good for channel interaction and comments. getting the algorithm to dig ya. Google has been amiss lately and I fear the AI bots are going to mess up the good thing they had going.

id imagine you charged $1850 ...
i would of charged $ 700... and thats why im poor

Great work! (Note on the "ladies" comment! - There are many female traders whom we should treat as equals - I have one in my team who is perfectly competent)

Nice work!!

🤘

1200. But....did I see you use your table saw without eye cover??

Great clear videos man. You got my subscription. I started carpentry and I gotta drive this into my subconscious.

You could alway take a couple 2x6 rip it to size. Doing the math on the dry wall there and the drywall you have. Frame out a box slid that in and boom. Nail her in.

I’d say $1500?

Was that a damp sponge the next day?

$2600 all in for materials and labor.

I think I would have driven a few nails into the 2x4 before gluing it to the back of the drywall. Then the stud can be detected from the other side with a stud finder.

you make it all look so easy. I am doing some repairs in my house now (due to remodeling) and man I tell you, since I haven't done dw work in so long, you forget more than you know, and its hard to get that perfect match. and since you did it, you will know all the spots that got repaired, versus anyone else that doesn't know the repair is there.

I do not see the answer on your instagram.

2500-3000 for material and labor im guessing

Huh... that must be why I've met 3 general contractors who only have 9 full fingers

2500

1500.00

Love the little jokes you add, like if you guys have soft hands... and you can't tear this in California...

Great Work man

I’d do it myself, just to avoid having to listen to you whine about the price of diesel. Jesus.

I have decided that I want to learn how to be a handy man. My goal is to watch all of your 613 videos

I wish I would have found this video before I started. My dry wall patch was similar size as one of thos. I used the yellow tape with all the little holes in it. And it was a pain in the ass to cover with out using a shit ton of compound so my first coat ended up being super thick

Videos are fantastic! That is some serious quality.
