Can you guys please advise what's the best way to repair these cracks on my master & guest bathroom ceilings? There were some hints of mold & I went over the affected areas with vinegar. Cracks were formed likely due to certain bad spots on the previous 20+ yrs old roof. Had a new asphalt shingles roof installed a couple of weeks ago.
Thanks in advance!

Comments on pic-

Repair is just a matter of scraping/sanding, primer/sealer, sand painting. The nail-pop may require a dab of drywall to fill.

In your second pic- it would appear that there is no primer/sealer on the drywall- which would answer a lot of those issues.

I had lots of these on my bathroom ceiling, and the scraping, sanding, etc. was a lot of time and effort. I ended up using PVC tiles.

Be sure to check the other side of the ceiling. If you saw mold on the bathroom side there's probably a lot more on the other (attic?) side. Deal with that before patching the nail pops; you might end up replacing some of it if the mold is bad on top.

Wow. I never knew something like that existed, thanks. I have the same issue with the bathroom ceiling in my house I bought 2 years ago. It's the only ceiling in the house that is sheetrock and it looks awful. I've been wondering what to do with it, when I get to it on the list. That looks great and I can do it myself. I'm even thinking...I've got a little bit of wall in an alcove that needs something ..I bet these would look nice there, too!

I think I'll start with that wall, for practice.
