When my master bath was re dry walled they didn’t install a power vent.
I cut out the cieling and installed it and the duct leaving a cieling in need of repair. Green board was not used. Should I have the whole cieling replaced with green board, have someone patch the missing area and try to match the texture or gut the bath and have the whole room redone in green board? The house had toxic mold and was stripped down to the slab and sticks. Looking to sell the house once it’s put back together but I want to do it at least semi-right.

Podcast: Play in new window
Tom: Green Board is not approved for ceiling applications.
Charlie: Really?
Tom: He needs to calm down…
Charlie: Take a deep, cleansing breath…
Tom: Call Rudy, have him patch it, have him match the texture and paint the ceiling with an interior bathroom pain. It is not…even though it’s used sometimes, the actual manufacturer does not recommend it to be used on ceilings. We do use it behind cabinets and areas where you have plumbing penetrations. Not in showers, that we go into the Hardie backerboards. You can do bathrooms in Green Rock, but it’s not meant for the ceiling. No worries.
