Shortly after we moved into this house, we heard a scratching inside a wall. So I cut a hole in the closet (taking care to make it rectangular so it would be easier to repair) to open up the wall and discovered a little mouse. So now I am repairing the hole. First, I screwed some short pieces of wood strapping behind the existing drywall, and then I screwed the small piece to the strapping. I applied some self-adhesive drywall repair tape over the joint.
The next step was to apply some drywall repair compound and let it dry. Then I will give it a light sanding and another coat of compound. This photo was taken after the first application of the drywall compound.
I forgot to take a photo on Thursday after I painted the trim. This was the one area by the stairwell. It looks pretty good.
This is the other trim in the powder room - looks perfect!

Great work you shared with us. Before deciding whether you should take on the drywall repair by yourself or hire a contractor, drywalls can easily be fixed with the right tools, a steady hand But hiring a drywall repair professional is the best solution. Finding a handyman online is easy. simply search the type of handyman you need and the name of your town or city.
