Water Stain & Ceiling Patch Repair

What this involves.

Water stain and ceiling patch repair restores the look of a ceiling after the source of the moisture has been resolved, and a lasting fix depends on sealing the stain and properly patching any soft or damaged material. We cut out and replace drywall or plaster that has failed, then tape, mud, and sand the patch flush with the surrounding surface. We seal the stained area with the right primer so the discoloration does not bleed back through the paint, and we match the ceiling texture so the repair blends in. The result is a clean, even ceiling with no sign of the old stain.

• Confirming the area is dry and the moisture source has been resolved
• Removing soft or damaged drywall or plaster from the ceiling
• Patching the opening and finishing it flush with the surface
• Sealing the stained area so discoloration does not bleed through
• Matching existing ceiling texture so the patch blends in
• Sanding the repair smooth and cleaning up dust
• Priming the area so the ceiling is ready for paint
