Adair and Hailey replaced the drywall in the living room ceiling after making sure the plumbing did not leak.
But we then had the issue of trying to match the stucco on the ceiling. We had many suggestions for the ceiling. From just adding another layer of drywall, as it was a tall ceiling, to scraping off the existing stucco. All of them were very labour intensive. We even got a quote from a ceiling repair place that does this for a living. But we were quoted $680.00! We decided to do the best we could ourselves.
I purchased some stucco for ceilings and I sponged it over the area, I then painted the whole ceiling with a large stucco roller. It took two coats. I didn't realize how yellow the ceiling was, until I started painting with ceiling paint. It is not a perfect repair, but it look better, and the whole room looks brighter for the ceiling paint.
