Repairing damaged corners in drywall?

Repairing damaged corners in drywall can be done in several steps:

1. Cut away any loose or damaged paper on the drywall corner with a utility knife or scissors. Make sure to remove all loose debris and smooth out the edges.
   
2. Apply a layer of joint compound to the damaged area using a putty knife. Smooth the compound out to cover the damaged area and feather the edges to blend with the surrounding wall.
   
3. Apply a strip of paper drywall tape over the joint compound, making sure to center it over the damaged area. Use the putty knife to press the tape firmly into the compound, smoothing out any wrinkles or bubbles.
   
4. Apply a second layer of joint compound over the drywall tape, covering it completely and feathering the edges again.
   
5. Let the compound dry completely, following the manufacturer's instructions.
   
6. Sand the repaired area lightly with fine-grit sandpaper, making sure to feather the edges of the repair so that it blends seamlessly with the surrounding wall.
   
7. Prime the repaired area with a drywall primer, and then paint over it to match the surrounding wall.
   

By following these steps, you should be able to repair damaged corners in your drywall and restore your wall to its original condition.  Call Alberta Drywall if you have any questions
