As an Electrician, I've worked alongside you guys for 20+ years. I thought I was paying attention to what you guys were doing. I thought I had a good idea of how to get it done. That was until I attempted to do some repairs at my house. Man, it kicked my butt. That's when I learned that what you do is an art form requiring proper techniques and tools to achieve a smooth finish. I came away from that project with a whole new perspective and respect for what you do. It's not nearly as easy as you make it look. Keep up the artwork my friend, you sir, are a true professional 👌
Much appreciated! I think there are aspects of all the trades that are artistic. I've been on industrial jobs where the electricians had walls full of conduit looking like a circuit board. Amazing!
Seconded. I'm a pretty handy guy, and I can do a lot of detail work, but I'll admit drywall is more of an art than a science. It's like black magic. 😂
all skilled labor is like this... it looks easy because a professional is doing it, but it gives everyone watching a false sense of their own competence because they THINK it looks easy.... and that's the reason people are always shocked that labor costs more than they believe it should... because it looks easy...
then you try to do it and you understand how useless you really are
@notimportant3686 That said, I believe there is value in trying and failing. Often we try because we assume it will be easier than it actually is. I'll say our underestimating, in this regard specifically, is a feature in humanity, not a bug.
I can tell a fake comment when I see one. People of different trades don't respect each other this much 😂
The fact that you used that dust barrier was really impressive. Nice to see your work, as you are obviously a true craftsman.
Thanks, much appreciated!
“you get a little dusty, you walking around looking like money 💰” love it! pride in your craft and standing apart.
That's right, I love it.
Mad props.
When I was younger, I was ashamed to be dirty and dusty after work. Now, I wear the dirt with pride.
This man is a beast for real
Professionalism apparently isn't dead. Well done, sir.
Not if I can help it, thanks.
Yet people complain about professional prices. "That's too expensive!"
Didn’t get on CZcams looking for a drywall video, but here I am. Well made, and informative! Nice work.
Welcome in, I appreciate you watching!
WOW, not a drywaller but am going to tell the guys i work with (im electrical) that THIS is how to do IT... SFMF
Thanks, I appreciate you taking the time to watch.
@DarylTheFINISHER any recommendations on how to Fix a Hole in Popcorn ceiling??
You are a rare breed! Nice work. Most handymen aren't going to take it to this level of quality. You take pride in your work, have integrity, and get the job done.
I appreciate you and hopefully we can change that.
This is a man who loves what he does and loves the people he does it for.
I’m a maintenance technician and I’ve never seen anything like what I just saw. Great idea with surrounding the work area! I have 20+ years in the field and I honestly hate working on ceilings but will work them when I have to. Just wanted to shout you out and say great job brother!!
It's not my favorite job but I definitely don't hate it. I appreciate you watching
Daryl, I been doing this for forty years! You are spot on. Drywall is only messy if you let it beat you! I trace my patches out like you. I also use a grout sponge for my final touch.
A compliment from somebody with 40 years of experience lets me know I'm on the right track. Using the grout sponge as the final touch-up is next level. I definitely have to add that one to my arsenal. Thanks!
Would liked to have seen the process - tracing? - that he used to get the perfect fit on those patch panels.
@stevehoge he literally showed it. Take your squared-off drywall board and lay it on the ceiling, trace it and cut out the existing drywall along those traced lines....perfect fit.
@@AS-ng5pi OK somehow I missed the step where he cut the CEILING to match the patch panel, that makes sense. I thought it was the other way around.
@stevehoge Ypu missed where he cut the patch to match the ceiling and so did I. He didn't show it. Maybe he measures a little, or eyeballs it.
I love the stories you tell while the video is going. The dust in the house for two weeks even upstairs and the plumbing leaked even worse when you were done had me rolling. As a "professional homeowner" I take on a lot of different projects and have gotten to the point that my projects look just as good as the pros. It's all just time, experience, and the will to seek out knowledge from others. Thanks for the video and keep up the good work.
I'm not sure why more people aren't willing to just try things. You might learn faster in a class setting but even that depends on the teacher. I'm a huge believer in the idea of teaching yourself. I don't usually do this, but I'll put a link to a video I made about this very subject a while back. I'm self-taught on the majority of the things that I do. I appreciate you taking the time to watch. czcams.com/video/48QwjcBuMnw/video.html
@@DarylTheFINISHER Thank you Daryl the Finisher for all you do. I like the stories you tell as well during the video. I stumbled on to your channel. I am glad I did. I am a "professional customer" 😂 I've had several homes and each time, I always get the bug for a new kitchen, new bathrooms, new this and new that. I can't do these things myself. I am a RN that is always tired when I get home and besides, I don't have the skill. That's all to it. That's why I am happy that people like you decide to work in the trades. I wish you were near or in Philadelphia, PA, but I guess not. If not, it's my loss. You are an excellent finisher!! 🥰 By the way, I also subscribed to your channel right away.
This man respect the homeowner property!He is PROFESSIONAL.He knows what he’s doing.Good job.
I've done construction and remodeling for years and I am like you in wanting a great looking job and no dust every where. No reason to trash up someone's house or business. Almost every one else I see makes a big mess and just doesn't care. Thanks for showing and teaching it the right way.
Much appreciated! I've had people mess my house up so I understand the feeling.
I’m the same for keeping it clean. One guy that used to help me when we were roofing we would clean everyday before we went home. He told me why do we clean everyday everyone else we clean when the job is done. Well I feel better. I’m also really neat with my drywall and well everything else. I have really nice handwriting don’t know if there’s a correlation between that and my work but there it is.
Fellow handyman here, and I do the same things you are doing.... You don't want to leave their house a dusty mess when you leave - they'll remember that more than the work. I also use the 20 minute mud with Fibafuse - best stuff out there for quick repairs!
That's what it's really about in the end. Next level customer service will give you a better boost than any advertisement!
Love your video. As a handyman, drywall repair requests are never ending. I used to dread them, now I love doing them. One critique of the first patch job, you should’ve sunk some screws in the joist that went down the middle.
I’m gonna get some of extendable poles. I like that better than using the push pens.
Keep up the attitude man! Love it!
Thanks, I appreciate you watching! I put screws in the joist just not in the middle. At the time I didn't think it was necessary because it was so close to the 1x4s but I get what your saying. A couple extra screws wouldn't hurt.
Indeed your attitude is awesome. I would gladly hire you if you lived in my area.
Man I admire your business mentality and your commitment to your Job!
Thanks, much appreciated!
Came across your video and I gotta say, wish there were more people like you Daryl. Any task you take on...go all out and DO YOUR BEST WORK. Treat it like it was your home.
Thanks, much appreciated! Hopefully we can build up more people to put their all into every project, especially when someone else is paying them for it.
Props to you for finding a niche, and doing it well to provide for yourself. So many people end up in a trade that ends up destroying their body and mental health. Seems like you’re managing work life balance well
Luckily I realized that early in life. When I was an insulator I noticed there were no old guys doing it. Had the carve out a lane for myself.
*This is the man you want to do repairs in your home. Straight to work and no mess. Thanks for sharing!*
Thanks, much appreciated!
@@DarylTheFINISHER You're very welcome, God bless!
Where’s this guy located ?
Nice job. Many important points in this video. The not making a mess is one of my biggest priorities. I work with a guy that always makes a mess and never cleans it up properly. I used to refinish bathtubs. Try spraying white coating in a bathroom with no windows and brass and black marble fixtures. And the coating does not come off. Coolness! And you’ve got the right mask too. I use that exact setup. Those dust filters are the way to go, and that mask will fit the chemical filters as well.
I appreciate the care on limiting the dust because many contractors don't bother.
Genius, such amazing work. There’s a huge difference between professionals and people that “can do drywall.” Thanks for making this video!
No problem, I appreciate you watching.
I really really appreciate you Daryl. I think you’re advice on attitude and professionalism is solid gold. But when you cut the hole to fit the patch instead of the patch to fit the hole, my mind was blown. And then the reference mark on the patch and the ceiling. I do a lot of drywall repair and this going to save me so much time!
I used to do it the other way around too. People cut some crazy holes though so I got tired of trying to match their cuts. It's definitely much faster. I appreciate you watching!
I do have question. Does it take you two days to do a patch? If you finish with plus 3? I don’t see how you could do that in 1 day. I use a heat gun on the quickset so I can get that done quickly with 5 min mud. But I still have to go back to the clients house the next day to sand and prime the finish coat.
Great job, thank you for sharing!
I just wish that someone could come up with an easy way to cut the piece to fit because it would save a ton of material.
My man out here spittin free game on drywall, business, and philosophy. The work was impeccable and the monologue was entertaining and hugely informative. Also I’ve done way too many drywall repair jobs to just now learn to just precut a piece then make the hole match rather than the reverse… why have I been doing all the extra measuring… sheeesh. Good look.
Man I learn something new everyday so I definitely don't mind sharing what I know. I appreciate you taking the time to watch!
I remember when my Brother bought a set of the Zip wall poles 7-9 yrs ago and instantly realized how AMAZING they were and ended up with 8 more by the end of that job. We've had a couple break down over the years, but man those things are so great and virtually use it on ANY job we do inside a customers house! I absolutely hate the thought of dust flying all over these peoples stuff.
True professional. Would gladly pay your rate for your quality. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
The goal is to make this the norm in the industry. It might take a while but I got time. I appreciate you watching.
Nice work Daryl. You are saying all the right things and are right on! I have a lot of respect for professional tradesmen that are on the top of their game.
Thank you sir! There are a few of us out here. Hopefully we can put the pressure on others to raise their game.
Great video! I hate drywall finishing, but my end product is better than a lot of drywallers. I come from a plaster background, so my goal is zero sanding. Hate drywall. I bow to you, sir.
Bruh! You’re teaching some of these young cats how to interact with the customer on another level. Folks in this generation don’t get it but you’re legit! Appreciate your video.
Great video as usual. Once I switched over to the Makita cut-out saw a few years back, sheetrock dust is pretty much eliminated. Love the Fibafuse tape and 20-minute mud. I would have used my Planex on that clients bad mud job. Being in home repair for over 40+ years, I always say you gotta be a jack of all trades, and do great work. Small jobs are what I like, in and out in one day, keeps my clients happy...
I had a job recently where the customer tried to mud and tape their closet and I ended up using a vacuum sander for that. I had issues in the past with sanding 20 minute mud. I've heard it's much easier now than it used to be, so I might try it in the future. Being the jack off alll trades is a must in this business!
Always better to learn at your own house before doing it at someone else’s that’s how I did it- great video you’re doing it the right way always keep the customer happy -no dust👍
Absolutely, we have to bring customer service back!
I love the plumbing story man after 1st try putting a bucket underneath and saying "Hey thats just how its going to be"
Hi Daryl! Really admire you. You're so right about the sales side of the business. There's a reason people in the trades get paid for what they do. They have to train and practice a long time to know how to get work done quickly, safely, and leave things cosmetically perfect. The average homeowner is not always capable of that, at least not as quickly or as seamlessly as someone who knows what they're doing.
I like your use of a plastic tent. I just did a bunch of ceiling and wall drywall repairs, and always use a dust collector hooked up to my multimaster. Very little dust escapes when you hook up your tools from the get go to a vac. But the plastic tent is an extra level that I really like. Nice.
I agree, I have a drywall sander and a vacuum that I use normally. Just didn't have it with me on that particular day. I'll still use a barrier though, especially if the family is in the next room.
If you pull that mud tight you won’t have all that heavy sanding just a light feather sand
Zip Wall- type quick setup poles completely changed the way I do drywall repairs in the middle of a lived in home. I use FastCap poles (which I’ve found many support and clamping uses for!) that slip into a skinny nylon bag, an Amazon 2’ dia. x 35’ collapsing duct, a ZipWall zipper door, a simple box fan, a standard hvac panel filter and a roll of plastic sheeting. Customers are impressed that there’s a cloud of dust inside the tent, outside they can swipe a finger on a nearby glass table and it’s pristine.
I love those fast cap poles, I have all three sizes of them. The crazy thing is it only takes a few minutes to set up but it's things like that that'll keep you getting work at top dollar.
When doing a small job like this, a soft wall is a must
Props! as a 42yrs in the painting biz ! Nicely done.
whaaats up Frank !!
- Jay the house painter ✌
Love this video! Great attitude and professionalism. I'd argue that every homeowner should be versed in drywall. It's not that hard and shouldn't be scary.
Some people pick it up pretty quickly but others never get it. There's even a lot of contractors that struggle with finishing drywall. If you got it, consider yourself skilled!
Hey Daryl, new subscriber here. Dust control is one of my biggest selling points, right up there with quality and honesty. Notice I didn't say price. It's like you said, historically, most handymen used be the cheaper option. These days, with so many specialty trades unwilling or unable to do the complete job, the skilled handyman can demand the same high prices as any plumber or electrician. Nice job! 🔨👍
That's what I keep trying to tell people. Get your skills up in a few areas and step up your customer service game. You're guaranteed to be in high demand.
Do you throw the plastic away after or re-use it? shake off the dust outside?
@@nofurtherwest3474 I think you meant to ask @DarylTheFinisher but since you posted this as a reply to my comment, I try to reuse plastic whenever I can. But once it gets dusty it''s usefulness is limited, as it will leave dust on everything it touches.
@@tedspens thanks!
Thanks for sharing, I’m a maintenance guy/handy man. I learned a few tricks from your video. Tracing the piece of drywall is genius!!!
Getting ready to have some drywall repairs this week. I've used same company for 4 years a gut/remodel. Interviewed 5 companies at beginning of project. Happy to say I picked the perfect one for this house. Wouldn't trust anyone else. They put up the barriers as well. I have a very mild texture barely noticeable. Drywall is an art!!! My home was a disaster when started 4 years ago and now it is a soft cloud and I admire their craft as a women. I get compliments all the time. I now notice others other homes with a skilled eye. I appreciate my guys work and yours! Great job! Enjoyed the video 👍. I say it is worth every penny! Not exactly cheapest, but not end of the world either. If something happens and I need a repair I have no worries it can and will be handled with skill. If and when I sell I know that I've given that extra step to do things right. Amen and be blessed!
This was fun to watch. Nice job Daryl. I do backsplashes all the time. To be fair, I am also a tile contractor, and my projects are mostly high end or large backsplash projects so the price will reflect that also. I understand your meaning though. The smaller simple, single wall backsplashes, those are tough to make profitable. I typically have to bundle them with other services just to be able to accept them.
I have a lot of respect for good tile contractors. As a tile specific contractor people will definitely pay you more than they would pay me to do tile work. You guys make it look easy!
Thank you for the kind words@@DarylTheFINISHER . You do excellent work, it is refreshing to see such a skilled, and meticulous handyman.
My neighbor wants to build a man cave in his basement. We're planning on tackling it together this month. I grew up on a farm, so I'm pretty handy. But let me say, I'm definitely more intimated by drywall than plumbing or electrical. Happy to learn from this video and can't wait to watch more!
I appreciate you watching, there will be plenty more to come.
Your wood blocks for anchors were genius! You saved my aching head! I like to wet sand. And the way you describe it makes it sound like a good massage!! Thanks for the video!
I keep saying I'm going to try wet sanding but I need to do it at my house first. I appreciate you watching!
Cutting the hole to match the patch piece is such a better idea then cutting the patch to match the hole, thanks!
Aloha from Hawai'i D! Been thinking about drywalling. We have 1960s old plantation style (open ceiling) concept and during summer the heat comes right thru...thanks for the great master-class!!
You are a man of integrity and high character, treating the home like its your. ✝️🤙🏻...ive done the bucket under the sink too 😅 but it was an aluminium pan 😅
Respect. Ppl assume it's easy cuz we make it look easy. I always protect my customers homes. First things first is covering everything thing and masking. Good job b brother
Thanks bro!
Man! When I seen plumbers walking on my floor in poop boots, knocking down walls, and leaving everything behind, I was BLOWN!! I greatly appreciate your respect and cleanliness for your client house!!! 🙏🏾
Wow, not the poop boots... That's crazy
I was in the drywall business for years and made repairs the way you did it on this video. Good job your skilled in this trade.
A true professional., wish you lived near my area ! Thanks for the lesson Daryl !
100% the more trades you know the more valueable you are.....am a G.C. now and learned pretty much every trade for residential work.....drywall was one of the first after being a rough and finish carpenter for years.....more you know the more valueable you are
That's how every craftsman should think about his or her work, do it the right way with pride.
There's a difference between not being knowledgeable and not being easy 😂💯
Good man. Clean and straight to the point.
Smart! Thanks for the help. I just needed to fix a small area and this helped!
Hey Daryl, I really like the content that you put out there. I'm learning watching your video how to repair drywall and the best advice that you're giving. Very inspirational
Really liking the tips in this video. I need to implement these to up my drywall game. Thanks!
Great video, great job Daryl! Love it!
Thank god there’s someone who still care & a true professional. RESPECT
Hopefully we can inspire some more people to care about the customers and the results. Much appreciated!
💚Good job.
First time I see a plastic barrier!
Preciate the knowledge and tips in here👊🏾🙏🏼
Thanks for the video! I've done handyman type work for a couple of years now, and my fair share of drywall, but this trick of just cutting out that hole is really smart.
Great video and work! Please pass this on to the next generation Its much needed 🤙
Lov your vids, like I’ve said I’m not a contractor nor a handyman I’m just DIY’er that loves knowledge. Your barrier is a very well thought dust control environment for the customer. kudos to you 👍
You’re not “just" a diy’er. I was a diy’er that realized my work was better than a lot of the “pros” because I actually cared about what I was doing. Don’t sell yourself short!
@@DarylTheFINISHER thanks for the confidence 👍happy thanksgiving
Excellent work!!
Prep is so important and zip poles are part of prep!!
Love the video.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge. You actually gave me a very good and easy way to take off my problem
Enjoyed watching and learning. Thank you!
I’ve been doing this stuff professionally for literally fifty years and I learned a couple things. Respect
Jack of all trades but master of none is better than a master of one.
Rock solid work Daryl - thank you for so many smart, time-saving tips and its great to see how much you care about being a professional and backing it up with your ethics, attitude, and commitment to do it the right way. I just did a little non-load bearing wall in my house and it was way harder than it looks. Wrapping and isolating your work zone - priceless. And thanks for the links - that home owner made the best investment hiring a true professional and artisan.
Wow, appreciate the compliments. I've been around people that have done bad work or had no regard for other people's property so I understand the issue. I've had both happen at my own house so I always make sure to go the extra mile to take care of somebody's property. I really think everybody should.
Bigger is better when it comes to repairs. Drag the transitions away from the eyes. Like magic.
Also, they buying a full sheet. Might as well use it.
The NEW Handyman, U
Right ❤❤❤❤
I feel the exact same way once you can do drywall nothing is off limits great job you killed it.
Absolutely, no project is off limits
That’s very thoughtful!
My Dude is a Genius --- Thanks for Sharing ~
This was very helpful! Thank you!
Absolute Genius. Next level, thanks for sharing.
Thank you for doing jobs right and treating each job like it’s your own house! You are the kind of person I want to hire!
Hopefully we can create more people who do the same. I appreciate you taking the time to watch.
Very nice! It is heartening to see a true professional as work! Blessings to you Brother!
Excellent work, Daryl! Those electric drywall sanders with the built-in vacuum are sweet. I am sure you wished you had yours, but you adapted and overcame in old-school fashion. Keep being you.
Thanks, much appreciated. I usually have some kind of electric sander with me, but sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do.
A true artist of perfection. Blessings and peace to you.
Excellent work and video!
Drywall is my favorite DIY. Been doing my own projects and repairs for 20 years. Still learned something from this vid. Thanks!
It's one of those things that I didn't like it at first but it grew on me. Now I love doing it.
Thank you so much for this idea Man you two must be on point because I have a project where I need to fix the ceiling drywall but I haven't done it in almost two years!
I love this video!
I take a different path to get to the finished product but a solid result is a solid result!
Great content brother!
Thanks bro! At the end of the day we all just take care of the customers the best way we know how and take care of the family.
Clean work homeboy. Stay G wit it ! Proud of you. God bless you
Man, GENIUS! Funny how I was doing some drywall repairs at the house when I saw this. Thank You for an enlightening educational experience
Thanks, I'm glad you got something out of it.
You got my subscription with this. Tremendous idea, and I know your customers appreciate this, for sure!
Much appreciated. It's always the case that if you take care of them, they'll take care of you.
Same 👍😎✊
absolutely right.. you nailed it... awesome video... good job
Thanks, much appreciated!
I do drywall, plumbing, light electric, floors, lighting, tile, insulation, these are all skills I was taught young and was mad back then. Now that I have these skills it's awesome. They call me because I'll be at any quote and time frame. Being able to fix multiple things is multiple income for sure! I was going around town the other day doing 40$ clog removal and 100$ ceiling fans, busy all day all night. Being a combat veteran helps when being punctual.
Hopefully we can get more people exposed to this type of work when they're young so they won't be scared of it when they get older.
Great job!! I just tore down the drop ceiling in my kitchen we had three leaks (toilet,bathroom vanity sink & shower) causing major leaks in our kitchen. So we got the leaks fixed now I'm going to put up the drywall.
Beautiful work my man, so nice to see people that take pride in their work
I appreciate you watching
I would like to know where you got the adjustable poles from. I’ve always contained the dust in the room and covered everything but this is next level for patching. We all know time is money and this technique saves time
Absolutely! %100. Love the video.
Most appreciated!
Awesome job, thanks 🙏
Pride in your work! good job!
Much appreciated!
Great job my brother. When I first started in the rehab business, I hated drywall repair. But with working experience, I learned that all it takes, was for me to take my time. I too do alot of duxt barrier's on my job sights. The last thing that I want do is alota dust cleanup. I use as much plastic, and zipwalls as i do mud in some case's. But a clean job, has gotten me lot's of referals.Keep up the great work sir.
That's the truth. The barrier helps you just as much as it helps the customer. The less time I have to spend cleaning up the better.
Now you did that Daryl! Awesome job!
Thanks, much appreciated!
Thank you for this video.
Very professional and inspirational!🤙
I appreciate you, thanks for watching
Not only do I love your work, I LOVE your attitude
Much thanks!
