How to Remove a Drywall Ceiling Easy
Vložit

- This is the method i have been using to remove a drywall ceiling before having to replace it with new drywall.
First I go around the perimeter and cut through the cornice with my new Hilti Drywall Cut Out Tool . That way when I pull the ceiling down the entire top half of the cornice comes with it.
Next i release the drywall from around any cables or anything that can pull or disturb anything i dont want to damage.
Next i create a space for myself in the corner once i remove a bit of the drywall thats above and around me in case the whole ceiling collapses,
and I'm laying under a pile of rubble until the end of the day till its cleaned up and im found.
then just pull it down taking extra care of windows and walls.
Its best to pull it down in large peices as although heavey they are much quicker to dispose of in one go.

Nice that there was no blown in insulation sitting on the drywall. I have about 18" of that coming down with the drywall.
Thank you. Just went through Hurricane Laura and I think I can take the ceiling down myself, after watching you!
I see he is wearing his safety squints
OHShit-approved.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Nice and easy...and fast👍
Greetings from Portugal.
I would have liked to see the ceiling go permanently, to give height to the room and so the room has a vaulted ceiling look - I'd love to have it done in my house.
That would look good
That was great to watch thanks
Thanks for watching
Hello, I was told my ceiling has mineral wood, but doesn't have antivibration holders so I keep hearing footsteps. I need to remove the drywall, apply VCL membrane, the antivibration holders and then apply the mineral wool and dry wall again. My question is, do I need to remove all furniture from the house or can it be done while covering everything from dust and other remains?
Looks like great therapy for a bad day, ha!
I am getting in DIY, and looking in tiring down the old, very old plaster ceiling, what is the cutting tool you are using?
So you had no insulation? Removed prior to doing this?
Can you remove thr lowered boards and raise the ceiling?
Hi mate, my technique is to get into the roof space and walk on the trusses and slowly pop all the screw fixings with applying pressure with my foot force down. I find this way is faster an easier and ceiling comes down in nearly one piece and dust free falling on me.... sssshhhhhh my top secret.
Lol.
Yeah, I've never done it like that but I'm sure it's very effective, you could even add that you can do it with no hands..
I might try that one day.
Most of the time the roof space can be really narrow so could get difficult
Doesn’t work in a basement
I notice there is no insulation. I did just a small area in the bedroom and got that loose stuff everywhere! Where do you live that you don't need insulation either due to heat or the cold?
Jackie Kennedy Australia lol
Can i leave exposed my roof? I like this look... like wood exposed
Started a job as a mold technician while attending college. Removing ceilings suck especially in old houses where it's a concrete like material versus drywall. The ceiling has wiring connecting to hold the pieces together. Just watching this video to see if there were tools to use that are better than having to try and bust through the wall with strength. This looks a bit easier than the material we're currently dealing with.
You were a "mold technician" but don't know what lathe or plaster is called? Really?
@@DiffEQ i mean eight months ago I had just started. "Started a job as a mold technician" but talk your shit over the Internet. Lol
@@DiffEQ what part of when he was in college did you not understand and therefore young and inexperienced but you just had to be an a****** to him, right?
That's way easier than the drywall with chicken wire ceiling I'm dealing with right now.
HAHA, SOUNDS LIKE IT... I HAVNT HEARD OF THAT. BUT SOUNDS HEAVY AND HARD TO CUT. tHANKS FOR WATCHING
Well I guess you've long finished the job now, but that's not drywall, that's a plastering technique. It's like lath-and-plaster except using wire instead of laths. The wire is put up then wet plaster mix is spread over it. Drywall is gets its name because it's pre-manufactured so the installation is dry plastering. I've never had to remove the stuff, but I've heard it's hard work. Also potentially hazardous because it sometimes has asbestos fibre added to the plaster mix.
When placing plastic for a vacuum seal before demolition of the ceiling , do u place plastic over the return on the vents for the heating and cooling as well cause of the dust going into the A/C ?
You turn of the ac
This guy is cruising for a bruising. No gloves or eye protection. No extra help. He got lucky! Did he cut through the crown moulding?
Hope you checked for wires before cutting around the ceiling
Did this liner work on Max ?? great video.
We just did this last night and found ourselves knee deep in loose insulation.... Messiest job I've ever been helped with... Never again!
Been there. I tacked string across the ceiling studs as I removed the ceiling and left them there when I put drywall back in place. It worked.
Hilti some of the more expensive tools. I just need to cut a bit of extra drywall out of my ceiling where the water pipe leak flooded the hole and square it off so I can put in new drywall panels.
What tools is that?
What type of saw is that ?
Thanks for this video, just curious why not are the 2x4 studs spaced not 16-inches?
Sounds like hes in Australia. Different rules out there
Looked like a perfectly good ceiling to me 😅
No, it had a 6" water spot and some paint peeled.
Not to mention all the bodily fluids.
And not to mention no insulation.
@@ohhansel bodily fluids?🤔😏
@@tonyalston4838 semen.
I have to do this, except with only a hammer and crowbar, and with 30+year old insulation above the drywall
Haha same lol
Lol im late but multi tools are great and many uses. Invest in one u won't regret
I remember standing in front of the windows, and doors to stop a huge sheet of drywall from damaging anything. Worked in emerald isle when Florence hit, and I can say, best job ever. Saying as a temp.
alex salsman what’s emerald ieal?
@@christophercrawford2736 isle
@@christophercrawford2736 took you a year lol
alex salsman makes more sense lol
alex salsman I wasn’t interested in drywall a year ago 🤷♂️ 😂
Once the drywall ceiling is gone I would actually extend my walls all the way up to would actually extend my walls all the way up through the attic. The trusses would be left exposed and sanded and I'd paint the exposed attic black for an industrial look once HVAC and electrical passes inspection
What's the name of the song at the end
Just curious, what was the reason for tearing off the ceiling??
Water damage from leaks is a big reason.
Whats the cornice ?
No insulation?

Question: Wouldn’t a rolling scaffold work wonders in your demolition? Just a suggestion.
How is a question a suggestion? Are you trying to be passive aggressive?
Passive aggressive? Never that. But true I should have suggested rather than question it.
Thxs for the video. .Im trying to figure out what to charge for this? I have drywall company in canada.
You'd just charge the going rate for unskilled, paid labor. You could mark it up a bit but anybody could do this work.
I think $100 to remove ceiling, $1,500 to reinstall ceiling.
Slowest way to do it take a Sledge knock a whole in the ceiling take a long time slide it down the the middle pull down ceiling off
Hi max. What tool do you use to cut the drywall corner ?
Hey.. Its was a drywall cut out tool theres many types, mine was a hilti, this is a dewalt one amzn.to/2W9xm1S
What brand and tool are you using to start your removal?
Hilti cutout tool
Any tips for cleaning up all the dust afterwards? I just had a repair done to my ceiling and the whole room is coated in brown dust along with everything in it 😢
Hello, did you have to remove all the furniture or is it possible to do it while keeping everything covered?
@@Lextragon To be on the safe side I would move everything in the room out just to ensure nothing gets damaged. I learned my lesson the hard way and had to throw some things out
What technique do you use to remove the old stud adhesive?
just hammer and chisel / blade mainly
Why are we cutting through the molding.
Good Video, but I don't understand why you wouldn't wear eye protection when ripping out the ceiling, you're literally looking up most of the time, leaving your eyes vulnerable to anything coming down that ceiling.
How did you avoid studs while cutting the perimeter, this unit is littered with studs every 2 feet
He's just cutting the crown molding.
That's what I want to know. Presumably at a 45 degree angle through the architrave , even if you do hit a stud, it will just camber it anyway.
U went around the ceiling with that cut out machine, but how did u not hit any beams ?
you can adjust the depth to a mm before it hits the timber. and won't hit. occasionally you run into screws but the blades are very strong I've never broke one
@@Maxkil
Do u go in an angle or straight vertical when cutting into drywall ? I bought the Ridgid drywall easy cut out tool.
What tool is that you used to cut the ceiling?
Makita drywall saw. It's the best invention since sliced bread
What did you do with the installation?
Hired installers.
Is that a drill or a nail gun that uses battery?
Nail gun with battery
Can anyone suggest best way to address loose insulation above ceiling before tearing it down?
Id say putting down tarp or something to roll up and throw out or reuse by putting up poly sections and filling it in. New insulation would be easier Id think though in batts
What are you standing on?
J.M. Sewell they are called work platforms. They sell them at home depot in the ladder section.
Check out video around 2:20...you'll see him pick it up
I have liked this video only because Dua Lipa is playing in the background halfway through.
What is the tool he uses in the first minute to cut around?
TIFFANY B drywall cutout tool
Hilti = oyeas!
By time u messed about with ya multi tool id of had that stripped n cleared
No insulation above; lucky you.
Max, this Hilti is only for drywall use or cut wood too ?
Hey Guido Just drywall my friend
Idk what tool you are using???
Hey.. Its was a drywall cut out tool theres many types, mine was a hilti, this is a dewalt one amzn.to/2W9xm1S
So, why was this ceiling removed?
water damaged beyond repair
No insulation? Crazy. Should have foam blown in while it's open.
You lucked out no insulation i have do this tomorrow and deal with wool insulation i hate that stuff
I bet they didn’t back block the ceiling...lol
Anything over 3 sheets needs to be back blocked! Australian standards..
What is back blocked? Any videos?
Did I really need to watch the entire process of cutting the perimeter?
Yes
same 🙂

Where are your safety glasses?
They're in his Dumb Arse Cabinet
He is rocking the safety squints
To easy not all lids come down that way
Not so easy for me. I have all 6mm vapour barrier up there I have to deal with.
Some nitwit lowered my 12 foot ceilings to 8. I want to rip out the second ceiling….
But you didn't show how to install it back
No hard hat. No gloves?
The ceiling joist and trusses look thin asf 😳
What is that, 24" centers? Yikes!
That's the easy way? I don't stand on anything.Any time I can work from the floor it's easier. I use a hoe or a shovel and sometimes a galf hook. That way I'm not near it.Ni need to cut that edge if it's gonna rip the tape off.I know it's fun.44 years of drywall I imagine I have done hundreds of jobs like that. Right now I'm tearing out the ceilings in a big house with 8',10' and 12' ceilings with twice blown insulation on top of it with crown molding so it has to be cut away from the molding. Yeah,lotsa fun.
Why put an ad 4 seconds into the video
Sorry CZcams did that
"easy"
No insulation?
