Every homeowner encounters drywall damage at some point. Learning how to patch drywall can save you time and money. Start by gathering your tools: joint compound, a putty knife, and sandpaper. Clean the damaged area, apply the compound smoothly, and allow it to dry. Once dry, sand the area until it’s flush with the surrounding wall. Finally, paint over the patch for a seamless finish. Mastering this skill not only enhances your home’s aesthetics but also boosts your DIY confidence.
