A few professional tips for drywall repair so that you can easily decide whether you can do the work yourself or you should call an expert for assistance. The most important factor that influences on the repair technique you will need to apply depends on the size of the holes.
Small Holes:


1. Clean the hole with a blade knife.


2. Use a painter’s putty to fill in the hole. Level it with the wall surface to make the repair less visible.


3. Spackle over the putty. You may need to prime and paint it over once it is dry.
Medium Holes:


1. The first thing that you need to do is sand the surface around the hole and wipe off all the dust.


2. Peel paper backing off a drywall patch.


3. Spread drywall compound over the patch, feathering out the edges.


4. Smooth the surface with the wall by sanding it well and repeat a couple of times if necessary.


5. Prime and paint over once it is dry.
