- It's easier than you might think to repair drywall in your home. Here's How Jeff was able to use a California patch as a simple solution! You can watch all of Jeff's home renovation tutorials at / homerenovisiondiy
Suggestion: instead of cutting a square hole and then making a square patch to fit, make the square patch first and then hold it up to wall and trace around it with a pencil, then cut the square hole along the drawn line
Another great tip!
That’s awesome! But that’s not the California way 😢
Recommend clipping the corners of your face paper. It will cover easier and not catch your knife as you demonstrated. My taping guy calls it a hat patch because of the profile of a section. Screwing a piece of 1x3 across the back of the hole will guarantee a screwed patch stays put while it sets especially if it’s larger. What’s the story on the Canadian patch name?
Jeff is the best! Happy to see home hardware supporting what he does.
We agree!
I love this professor of mine. I’ve been his dyi apprentice close to 2.5 years. He and his crew are top notch.
Thank you for such an in-depth tutorial. I appreciate all the special tips you gave.
Happy to help!!
I have been doing this without keeping the paper on the front and using that tape… it’s impossible to do well. This seems so obvious now that you’ve shown me… it’s super helpful. I’m going to finally patch that bloody thermostats hole with this method, thanks!
We're so happy we could help!😁
It's nice that you reference him !
Love Jeff's channel he is the most entertaining contractor
Us too!
Thank you for your great instructional videos! I used this method with a client and yay!!
Happy to hear that this process worked for you - and your client! Thanks for sharing.
Dude You’re awesome! You make it so simple and its very encouraging.
Thanks for your feedback! Did you try out this California patch yourself?
Great job!!
Glad you enjoyed!
That fits and will stay flat to the rest of the wall? It seems like, without a screwed in backer, it would be a soft spot.
For small to medium size patches, this method does the trick! If the hole is much larger, the patch could be further reinforced using furring strips (thin pieces of wood that the patch would be screwed into).
@@HomeHardwareStores Thank you..
Why can't i save the video to a playlist?
Hello, to save this video to a playlist click on the 3 dots at the far right below the video, then "+save".
Always wanted to do one of these. I’ve never seen anyone in England do this, might have to make a hole on my next decorating job haha
Practice makes perfect!
@@HomeHardwareStores oh yeah for sure. Typically i stud and re board the piece slightly smaller, then foam it and just fill it flush, but for the fun of it I’ll give the ol cali patch a gon
Thanks for the tips and demonstration but where to get it
Hi there! Which material are you looking for?
Hey its Jeff on Home Hardware youtube
You bet!
Great patch I used it today nice n easy
That's so great to hear! Thanks for sharing :)
Where did u buy it from
Is this technique better than using the tape and a wood backer?
Hello, there are many different techniques which will give you the same result.
It just seems wrong to put a hole in a wall just to fix it. But better yours than mine. 😊👍 Also this patch just seems fun to do. I secretly want holes to happen to practice on. 💪😁🤙
Accidents happen! We hope you get to practice soon 😉
@@HomeHardwareStoresMe too. ✌️😁👍
Nice but when the door opens again it breaks again. No bueno.
Door stops are a must for avoiding reoccurring drywall damage :)
This has to be the weirdest California patch I’ve seen. It’s so weird it’s not even a California patch.
There are many great ways to fix drywall damage!
Wrong. Cut the drywall first and use it to trace the hole to be cut. Dont us easy sand 20, use 45, its easier to sand.
There are many great ways to fix drywall damage, thanks for the tip!
Maybe suggest checking there isnt any wires or pipes behind the wall before you start sawing into it?
Definitely a good reminder!
