Touching up and Repairing a Cracked
Drywall Ceiling
By: Mark J. Donovan

Repairing a Drywall crack in the ceiling or re-surfacing a
portion of it can be done by any homeowner with little effort. First, with a
small trowel scrape away any of the loose ceiling texture material around the
crack or affected area.
If there are any small cracks observed, after scraping away
the loose texture material, apply a thin layer of Joint Compound. A small
trowel will aid in this job. Then let the Joint Compound dry. Then sand
lightly.

Next, you will
want to apply a Textured Ceiling mix that can be obtained at any Home
Improvement store. Sometimes the mix is dry and you simply add it to a container
of Ceiling paint. Normally for small jobs Home Improvement stores sell a
pre-mixed paint/textured substance. Simply spread this over the affected area
that you have prepared. Once this material had dried, apply a coat or two of
paint that matches the rest of the ceiling and you are done.
