Holes in your drywall that are larger than a golf ball require a full patch job. With the correct tools in hand, you'll need to cut out the damaged area of the sheetrock and install a fresh patch of sheetrock, then use mesh tape and joint compound to cover/seal the patch. In this video, professional drywaller and painter Jerry Vargo shares his tips for a perfect patch job.
