Last month, the skylights in my home started leaking and I had to remove them to prevent the recurrence of sieve-like leaking. When I was getting rid of skylights, I had to remove the unit as well as the entire housing to ensure proper repairs. However, I was left with deep a ceiling. So, I called my interior designer friend and asked her what to do with ceiling after removing skylights? She told me a simple way to disguise the ceiling skylight designs hole and keep my ceiling looking beautiful. I will share the same with you.

How to hide skylight flat ceiling hole: Creating a Nailing Surface on the FrameYou can screw a one-by-one wood around the inside of the hole’s frame where you removed the skylight or you can cut the drywall back about half an inch on all sides. This will help create enough surface to nail the sheetrock you’ll be installing.
Measuring the New HoleThese new opening dimensions are the distance between corners after cutting back the drywall. Measure the new hole to make sure you purchase a piece that fits perfectly into the hole.
Adding insulationIf you stay in a cold climate, then you won’t want a heat/AC to leak from inside your rooms. Tuck some fiberglass insulation in the hole to improve energy efficiency.
Patching the New DrywallNail up drywall, mud, tape & sand.
Painting the New DrywallAfter that, stain the patch to match the older colour so that it disappears.
