Wall Repair Merging New to Existing Drywall

Garage Restoration Project in Stouffville Ontario

(a virtually impossible drywall taping project made to look like new)

Tape needed to be removed and replaced, new boards installed, existing boards re-fastened

Obstructions like crazy including garage door opener framing (very sharp).

After skim coat walls and ceilings looked brand new.

All defects fixed, wall completely restored.

One small touch up at bulkhead's extruded corner. Corrected with Spackle in five minutes was dry for sand/prime.

Stouffville Garage Drywall Taping Wall Repair

I accepted the challenge of repairing and finishing a small garage in Stouffville. Here's some before, during and after photos of the project.

All the Joints had to be Re-Taped for Proper Wall and ceiling Repair.

It's Going to be Tough Merging New to Existing Drywall.



Most Board Needed Additional Fastening and Complete Skim Coats. Joists were not 16" Centers.

Marco and I Installed New Wall Panels Around Garage Doors.

It all Started Looking Like Walls After Third Coat.

New drywall and Existing Ceiling Merged Nicely.

Finished reapiring walls and started priming the drywall repair project.

Walls and Ceilings are Now Flat, Defect Free and Easy to Paint.

There were a Couple of Last Minute Touch-Ups Including a Very Noticeable Bulkhead Exterior Corner.
