So who sent the cigars?

Just kidding bro, for a minute I thought you were going to say someone bombed the hell out of you.

I would get an estimate first to see how much it would cost. It won't be cheap even though it's a small area.

You could DIY for less than a $100 depending on what tools you have. As stated before, the biggest pain will be matching the texture of the ceiling. You can get aerosol cans of ceiling texture at the hardware store. Just a heads-up though, these usually only cover about 2 or 3 square feet with each can. They also make a hell of a mess. I've used them on a couple of occasions with pretty good results. I could tell where the work had been done, but only because I knew about it (plus I'm a perfectionist). If you have smooth ceilings it should be a piece of cake.


If you DIY and dont have any drywall tools let me know. I have some that I could lend you.
