Check out our updated drywall taping video: Drywall Taping Masterclass for Beginners! ua-cam.com/video/poOguFrTUy0/v-deo.html
When filing in the seam I left in too much mud on first coat and now the seam is higher than the two pieces I am joining. Is there a fix for that?
Did you wet the butt joint and ceiling corner and we just didn’t see it? Thank for your videos - been watching all weekend trying to redo the drywall tape in my 1940’s house. All the old tape is visible 🤦♀️
Is it possible to just mud over the joints without tape or is a that a no go? Great videos BTW!
This guy has me FAR too over-confident to do drywall now. Im about to redo my whole house lol
That s right
This guy got me confident too and I don't even own a house lol great videos by him. Why am I even watching this though lol
Lol...I watched what to do...I reviewed it...then went to action. My confidence far exceeded my ability. That said much better than my first attempt to drywall...and worlds better than contractors I'd originally hired to do work. Absolutely the best and most informative video I've found....
Hopefully work on my speed and cleanliness...
@@michaeldrossos8836 I hear ya! Just demoed for a kitchen install and had some time and patches to practice on. Due to the fact it will be covered anyway it took the "first-timer-nerves" out of the equation and managed to turn out better than I thought. Love this guy's thorough and smooth delivery!! It sure helped to guide and inspire.
Same here. I’m about to do my kids’ bedroom
Jeff, you are a master at taping and drywall. I can’t thank you enough for making these videos. You such a thoughtful teacher and tell us every minor detail we need to know.
Thank you!
The way you work the knife and how you talk reminded me a lot of Bob Ross.
Bristan Keller “just add some happy little mud here” lol
I thought the same thing 🤣 I could watch this video all day
Before doing home projects like this, keep in mind this man and many like him have earned their fine finishing techniques from nothing more than time with the tools. It's not as easy as he makes it look. Well done sir.
So helpful! Thank you! I’ve been waiting for my husband to start our bathroom for 9 months now. So I decided that I would do it myself!
Can I give you my wife's phone number, just for motivational support.🤣🤣🤣
I'm kidding, I started the downstairs bedroom....use to drywall 24 years ago, just here for a refresher course
I'm doing my living room myself bc my husband has had four years, smh.
We’re you able to do it or did you end hiring someone to do it cuz you started it was too work and for overwhelmed? Lol
I'm renovating a bedroom right along with you and I want to say thanks. The videos are a great help. I did plaster work last in 1973 when my dad and I built the interior walls of this house. Now, in 2019 I have returned home after a zillion termites had their way with some of my interior walls. After tearing them out and rebuilding the stud work and walls (this time with ground contact lumber), replacing the electrical wiring and boxes, and hanging the sheetrock, I'm in the plaster stage. Again thanks for the refresher course. A lot has changed since 1973 (including my back and muscles) and it helps to see how new materials and tools have made the job easier. Keep the videos coming.
You put together a great video! Easy to listen to your instruction and I think all-around great information for homeowners. As a fellow drywall finisher, I go into many jobs after a homeowner has attempted a DYI gone way wrong. Obviously, we do things differently in the field with tools working for a contractor but this is one of the best dyi instructions I have seen. Great job!
These are the most informative videos I've ever watched. Your teaching style is so concise, understandable, and easy to follow - I really feel confident in tackling the drywall mudding in my own home after watching your guide. Thank you!!
One of the best workers...make it look easy and at same time explain how it should be done...thank you for sharing your knowledge... have a great day...💪💪💪🤘🤘
First time mudding and I'm finishing my basement ceiling. Well boy do you make those ceiling corners look easy!
I have watched all your drywall videos multiple times through. Thanks for all your help
I have been watching 15-20 youtubers today on how to do drywall. You are by far the most calm, cool, and collected one of the bunch. Thank you for an amazing and informative video!!
Now time to go be wayyyy too confident in my first time taping and mudding a room!
"Don't wanna go backwards before I go forwards". Words to live by!
This video is more relaxing to watch than my guided meditation vids
For some reason I've always been scared of mud and tape but your videos have help me go off the high dive. I'm very thankful because believe it or not I am actually kind of enjoying it now, thanks to watching your videos and helpful tips. Instead of endless frustration things are actually turning out looking good!
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! So, I finally got the hang of your method for inside corners, the first day I struggled and had my mud a little stiff. I went back and watched again and BAM ... Super easy once you get the hang of it. Keep up the great work with not too much information but just the right amount of tips and tricks! Jim
You're so good man I'm doing a tiny house renovation and when I have a concern about something just watch your videos and helps a lot thanks
That is great Luis, we are always happy to answer questions if you need any help along the way. Cheers!
hi, umm do u know what kind of tape he used?
@@richmond2921 paper tape
Thank you so much for teaching me the tip about filling the screw heads!!!
Great video! Just finished framing in and sheetrocking in my daughters closet and a small bump out to add some room. I've followed all your videos to get to the point im at now! Thanks im a mechanic by day and trying to remodel my home by night. I only watch your videos. Thanks again
I have been thinking on doing some of my own fixes in my house and been watching several videos in youtube, by far you are the best, easiest to follow and with hacks that are very helpfull. Great job man!!!
A tidy tradesman is a good tradesman. The first thing i was told on my first day as an apprentice over 20 years ago.
Thx so much for doing these videos! They're so helpful. Also, buying all these tools is really pissing the wife off lol!
Jeff, i just want to take the time to thank you for your excellent videos. I just gutted our bathroom and started from scratch. Because of your videos, the walls turned out absolutely perfect. Thank you!
Great video!! I needed to show a friend what to do so I was telling him over the phone (he's located about a 1000 miles away - literally). Then I thought well what about something on UA-cam to show how to tape and mud joints. Glad I was able to send this link to my friend. He said, "Now I see what you meant!!" You are a true professional and one of the best I've seen!!
Its like watching Bob Ross do drywall. ;-D
Thank you very much for taking the time to do these videos. They have helped me achieve great results for our various home projects. Definately takes a lot of the stress away as i am not a carpenter by trade. Thank you
I love your videos.. the talk you do is only relevant and done while working. The example is quick and to the point! Nothing worse than people who spend more time yacking about what you'll do! Kuddos!!
I never would have attempted drywall before watching your videos. I've had a 5' x 2' hole in a guest room and garage wall for a few years from rerouting a pipe that was leaking under the slab. The plumbers cut a hole and of course said they don't fix drywall. I've ignored it till now. Thank you for your easy to understand and good techniques videos.
I started my small project at home
Your way of explaining how to work
Absolutely spot on
Thank you very much
Great tutorial … I wondered if you could do a session on proper mud mixing techniques
Hang cabinets. .would love to see how you do it . I'm learning a lot for you ..thank you my northern brother
Remodeled my bathroom first time mudding used your technique, it worked beautifully. Now I'm in the process of remodeling my kitchen alot more drywall and mudding but I'm confident in your technique now as long as I do it right so thanks.
This is fantastic!! It has helped save a lot of time....especially in regards to butt joints. I wasn’t doing it correct and once I watched these you can instantly see the difference between what I was doing and doing it the right way.
This guy is one of the better all around guys on youtube
thanks for the comment.
He makes it look so easy, but eventually I got it done with these tips. Thx a million to RenoVision!
@@HomeRenoVisionDIY I see some people prefer to overlap the joints to avoid cracks or something. No need to afraid of this happening? :)
@@Amuris86 I am not sure by what u mean overlap the joints? only thing u need is an offset of ur butt joints, like dont let a butt joint be at same spot on top and bottom.
Lol but funny to watch
great composure when doing the videos-- makes me want to do drywall right now!!
Thanks Keith, 3 words men hardly ever say. drywall right now.
@@HomeRenoVisionDIY "makes me want to do drywall right now!!" said no one, ever.
your videos are well done, informative, educational. I like that you take the time to explain different methods and the pros and cons of each. love your videos looking forward to more. Thank you
Very good. Have been filling gaps and taping drywall for decades. My current bathroom will be done right for the first time thanks to your videos.
I do love how you mention quick, their hasn't been anything quick so far in this process :). But I am doing everything myself with the help of my little helpers. Hopefully tonight I can finish up and move on to the next video tomorrow. Great video. Very clear and easy to understand.
Great videos I learned a lot, now that I’m retired and “social distancing” I will attempt to sparkle my walls in my man cave I put up about 15 years ago lol
Thank you for what you do showing us everything good camera work excellent commentary. I appreciate it all and am learning everything I can hoping to become a general contractor and love what I do and want to be the best thanks again for passing your knowledge !!!
I really enjoy watching your videos, great work. Thank you for the teaching and patience.
This man breathes like a professional would!
I have also watched many videos on drywall taping and finishing. This guy makes it so much more easy to understand and explains the process very well. He does a very good job. Thank you!
Cheers Bryson!
Can’t begin to tell you how much time you have saved me with your excellent videos. Your mentioning that the drywall knife is curved is just one example. What frustration that alone saved me.
Ty
Thanks for the tips I'm renovating my basement alone and im at the taping now your videos were helpful throughout my renovation
THE ONLY GUY THAT CAN DRYWALL IN A DRESS SHIRT...
It's only a polo, and an old one.
Thanks for putting these together, awesome!
Glad you like it. Thanks for your comment.
I am really appreciating this series, thanks for taking the time to put these videos together. I wish I had known this before my first Reno, which was a train wreck when it came to the drywall! This time around it's going a lot smoother thanks to some of your tips and process.
Glad to hear it Kyue, we are always here to help!
I like your videos and appreciate the way you explain everything. I work construction myself and I know how to do things, but I don't have the experience that you have. I watch your videos because I believe there's always room for improvement. And I thank you for doing this. Its It's always good to see how someone else does it, and take what you can out of it. Keep up the good work!!!👍👍👍
Anyone ever tell you that you drywall like Rob Ross Paints. It's soothing and satisfying at the same time.
Cheers!
I just tried to drywall my new house after watching this and it took me way longer lol
I just followed the corner instructions. Couldn't believe how perfect it came out. The technique is really good. Heaps less stress. Paper adhered so flat and perfect.
Not going to bother continuing until I've watched all these now. Lucky I watched this first. Thank you! (Aus)
I am watching in sequence and just wanted to be sure. Is he putting the tape over the joint compound and then wetting it again with the joint compound or has he moved on to the machine mud to wet the tape?
Could not agree more with Tony Mazzeo's comment from a year ago. Reviewed so many drywall videos and found yours to be the best!!! I learned why to stagger drywall sheets (to decrease the visual bump effect) as well as how to apply mud (great tip on wetting the tape!!). Thanks so much for your informative and easy to understand videos!!!!!!!!!!
Cheers David and Tony!
Paper is porous. Adding and removing the mud (after the tape is up) fills the pores. This allows your finish coat to go on without pockets of air behind it.
Love the video. Couldn’t hear you too well at the end. Music was a lil loud
Jeff, I'm a Facilities Maintenance guy at my day job and have a handyman business on the side. Everyonce in awhile I have to do plaster or sheetrock repair or install and dread it every time just because I know how much sanding I'll have to do and deal with all of the dust. I know that I'm using waaaay too much joint compound but feel its better to have too much than not enough. anyway, I stumbled across you on youtube yesterday when researching an up coming soffit project and will need to sheetrock and tape and mud it when finished. You have given me great inspiration and now looking forward to the project when it starts. Thank you for your videos and I look forward to watching more of them! Cheers, Terry in Portland, Oregon
thank you for your well explained video. everything that I need to finish my wall is in this video. I have "thumbs up" and subscribed as soon as I have seen this video.
Since pobodys nerfect, how about a segment in this series about "how to fix screw ups" - as in what to do if you DO find bubbles after it dries, or you get delamination, etc etc.
Just use a knife and cut it out. patch with 45 min mud unless over 6 inches long. This won't happen if you follow my advice.
I beg to differ. I never have a single defect in my drywall work.
Dood, it's called a utility knife. You can get them at the box store....
I have trouble taping a Christmas present. Is success in drywall taping in my future?
You make it look so easy. I do a little of this about ever 5 years and it takes me 3 times as long as you. Then I have to sand and reapply the mud several times to get it right. When I finally get better at it the job is done and I don't do it again for another several years.
Nice video
You sir are an absolute life saver.... I'm so happy that I watched your videos. So informative, so educated' and so honest. I loved it and will be watching them all several times before I begin my drywalling project.
Enjoy the muding my friend Cheers!
Me personally I prefer to do my joints 1st, then tape the field of screws, last my angles and corners. Lol. The bottom line is to give that wall a finish!! 4th stage, or a 5th stage.. awesome video man. Thx
You do YOu. cheers!
"If I dont have wet paper, drying on my walls, it's gone form air bubbles and its gonna come off"..
I might have heard that in rap once.
LOL
WOW!!....Learned so much from this video. You make it look so easy :) . You are undoubtedly one of the best. Thank you very much for taking the time to make this video..
Thank you for sharing all your experiences, I'll use it on my own house work
Stupid question time. Is it ok to use 45 minute mud for all 3 coats?
sure but you better be amazing at mixing so you don't need to sand much. I would at least use regular compound mixed with a little water for the last coat! Much easier to sand!
This guy seems like the ultimate dad
He's quickly becoming my ultimate dad! Lol
Great tutorial, my favorite diy channel. Keep up the good work!
Dear., I want to thank you in a timely manner for your valuable contribution with these tutorials, for many reasons that not only enrich my person and knowledge, but the graphical help on site to be able to share to all who appreciate their teachings to prevent waste and accidents ., thanks again and I hope to belong to your community of subscribers., Greetings from Mexico.
Thank you. And Cheers to Mexico!!
Can you wet the paper before applying to the mud?
Absolutely, then you don't have to re-mud like he's doing, all you have to do is use the knife to get it pressed and flat.
Im watching this so i can pretend i know how to mud & tape when I'm helping my husband tomorrow
Lmao
loving it!
😀 fake it til i make it! It's actually coming along really nicely
That's what good wives do!
Good clean work
Thank you for what brings you joy
Nice job and great tips!! Wish I would have seen this 40 years ago!! Had some good people teach me then but still had to learn a few of these tricks over the years from those better than me. Anyway, thanks always for the great videos!!
He's like the Bob Ross of drywall 😯
Paper got wet on the other side. You’re good but you’re definitely doing extra work
Just teaching a system that keeps from getting bubbles in the tape.
Home RenoVision DIY gotcha
Thank you much for the demonstration, never done mud and tape, good education
You do that so effortlessly !! Like an Artist !! Awesome Job !!
Everything you say is a secret lol
He so clean man wtf too clean
I was mesmerized by this very educational video.
Thanks for your video. Lots of good material.
What you did wrong was tape the corners first lol
My thoughts exactly
Why do you say that? I actually agree with taping them first.
@@nicmic8521 never ..flat joints first angles after, just cut your flat joint tape an inch from the wall
Jonathan Baugher youre 12 kid shut up
You should tape butt joints on the ends of the board first, tape flats between sides, then tape angles last. That way the ends of your tape will be covered and not exposed.
jay alexander exactly. This tutorial was trash lol.
Butts flats angles the system
Wait, what? Are you saying "tape the ends" as in tape them before putting them up? When youbsay "tape flats between sides" are you referring to where two non tapered joints meet? Also, what do you mean by "ends of your tape wont be exposed"? Sorry. So confused
I been watching alot of drywall videos on UA-cam. your videos are great. very good explained. thanks for all the good info.
Thanks for watching.And for commenting. The comments are our bread and butter. keep it up.
Another great video. Yep, I too am now confident to do the little bit of dry wall I have. And then, I am never doing it again. Jeff does great videos for do it your selfers like me, but I've decided I am way too old to do another renovation, and too poor to afford to get someone in to do it! Trust me you can trust Jeffs tips and tricks!
This sucks. I’m hiring someone.
yes 😂
I can't hear you from the music ?
Thank you I have apparently been doing it the hard way. Can't wait to put your suggestions to the test on my next house.
Thanks. Been looking at bad tape in my bath for a couple of years. Now I feel like I can fix it.
tape butt joints first, then the flats and angles last...
Hi Rob, thanks for your opinion on the best way to tape a room. At the end of the day the order of taping doesn't make a difference to a homeowner.
makes a huge difference...never let these youtube hacks teach you
I think it depends on if the hangers layed them down or stood them up. Either way you just want to make sure anything going up and down is taped first so it lays flat and hidden under the horizontal tape
Brian Hobbs You are all over the place. Butts, Tapers, Angles.
cut out the music!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! distracting.
Ok I have done drywall repairs for years and learned the hard way that this guys technique is flawless. Anyone that left a negative review is ignorant to drywall. trust this technique. This guy rocks! if you gave a negative review then your angry because you have done it or are doing it wrong. Love this guy. thanks for the refresher and saving us so much money! Love you brother!
Cheers Kristopher
Thanks for these videos, very informative, great tips. I applied what I learned and wow, results are great! Props to you for the videos, props for still responding to comments 2 years later, and props to the camera guy for being able to follow you through all your motions!
Thank you, we are very glad to help. Cheers!
and props to the props for propping props
Would’ve been 100pts had not the annoying music been playing for no reason. I’ve never understood why people add music to tutorials smh.
Yep - and as usual - part way through, his voice audio level dropped but the background music stayed too high. Minor thing but does seem to be a "thing" for people producing videos. This guy does a great job other wise.
Hi Jeff. I've been very encouraged, educated, and inspired by your lessons on DIY remodeling. I recently tackled a major job by removing the popcorn texture from my ceiling. I now have a beautifuly smooth drywall ready to be primed and painted, however the wall tape is loose in several areas but only on the ceiling part not the wall.
I should've asked first but I went ahead and carefully cut the half of the tape was lifting off. I'm wondering if I should retape, and how to avoid the new tape from showing on the wall since I didn't cut the tape from that area. I will be painting the walls as well by the way.
Thank you very much for the excellent work and communication you do. The tip on negative air with a fan worked like a charm!
Fantastic videos, well explained and easy to follow. The average DIYer can't expect to complete a job with his level of ease and expertise, but will know what to do, and how to properly do it.
Excellent video! Taught me lots! Thanks
speechless... so many great tips thank you
This guy is a great teacher..he tell you about the pro and cons of things..I like his work!
If you have a patreon I will gladly donate! Loved ALL of your videos I’ve seen so far. I spend 2 hours a night learning your techniques so that when I buy and remodel my own home I’m not totally lost in the woods! THANK YOU!
Thanks for the offer. Not as of yet. We have been more focused on helping everyone else rather than ourselves.
Thanks for your videos. I don't like doing finish drywall, but it seems I can't avoid it. So thanks the videos are a big help.
