DIY – Prepare to sell your home by repairing small drywall holes and dents.

Have you asked yourself if you would be able to figure out how to patch the drywall in your home?

When you are preparing to sell your home, you will want to make sure that you’ve done everything that you can to have your home be move-in ready.

That includes not only un-clutter the closets, cleaning base boards, and washing windows, but also includes repairing any imperfections in your drywall surfaces.

Drywall imperfections as simple as doorknob indentations, surface imperfections from children’s toys, to noticeable holes whether in conspicuous, or inconspicuous places.

The video below will show you some basics of patching drywall in the home.

Repairs that would be pretty simple to do, even for the least handiest of people. I know that Home Depot and Lowes sell kits for drywall repair, and those may help in making the process even more fool-proof, and less messy, or frustrating.

Of course for any more substantial repair of drywall, requiring perhaps a new section of board to be installed, I would suggest hiring a professional, unless you consider yourself very handy around the house.

You may even ask a friend, if he or she has ever done that kind of work, and perhaps they can team up with you to show you how.
