This Overland Park, KS home had several large openings in the ceiling where drywall had been removed, leaving framing, plumbing, and other components exposed. The repair required replacing multiple sections of ceiling drywall and finishing the new material so it would blend with the surrounding surface. Because the existing ceiling had a popcorn texture, the repaired areas also needed new texture applied for a consistent finished appearance.
Solution
Drywall Doctor protected the work area and nearby belongings with plastic containment before installing new drywall over the open ceiling sections. The seams and fasteners were taped, mudded, and feathered into the surrounding ceiling, then new popcorn texture was applied across the repaired areas. The completed repair closed the openings, restored the textured ceiling, and left the surface finished and ready for paint.
