SAY GOODBYE TO HOLES AND CRACKS. PATCH DRYWALL LIKE A PRO.
DRYWALL
REPAIR BASICS
Drywall damage happens in almost every home, from doorknob holes and settling cracks to openings left behind after plumbing or electrical repairs. Learning how to make these repairs yourself can save money and help keep your walls looking their best.
In this beginner-friendly, hands-on workshop, you’ll work with real tools and materials while learning how to patch holes, repair cracks, replace damaged drywall, apply tape and joint compound, feather seams, and sand surfaces for a smooth, paint-ready finish.
With instructor demonstrations and guided practice, you’ll learn the proper steps behind common drywall repairs and leave with the practical skills and confidence to tackle many everyday wall repairs on your own.
ABOUT THE WORKSHOP
SAY GOODBYE TO
DINGS AND DENTS.
A small hole in your drywall can easily turn into a $300–$600 service call. By learning the proper repair techniques, you'll be able to complete many common drywall repairs yourself, avoid unnecessary labor costs, and confidently prepare your walls for painting. The skills you learn in this workshop can pay for themselves after just one or two repairs.
