Project details

City: Kentwood, MI
Property type: Single-family ranch home
Service: Ceiling repair
Finish / texture: Orange peel ceiling texture
Timeframe: Two visits over four days

Materials used

1/2-inch lightweight drywall

Problem

A Kentwood ranch home had a brown water stain and cracked ceiling texture in the main-floor hallway directly below an upstairs bathroom.

Cause of damage

An slow supply line leak at the upstairs vanity soaked ceiling drywall over several weeks before the homeowner noticed the stain spreading on the first floor.

Repair process

Confirmed the plumber had replaced the failed supply line and no active moisture remained.
Cut out softened drywall in a controlled rectangle around the stain.
Allowed the cavity to dry with airflow; verified framing was below moisture threshold.
Installed new 1/2-inch ceiling board, taped seams, and applied three mud coats.
Spray-matched existing orange peel ceiling texture and feathered into undamaged areas.
Applied stain-blocking primer and left the ceiling ready for the homeowner's painter.

Final result

The hallway ceiling was structurally sound, stain-free, and texture-matched. The homeowner's painter completed the job within days.
