Due to the weather over 2023, a leak had exposed itself on a 15' high ceiling.
The leak may have been around for years, which had lead to some mold growth. But the heavy weather, had forced the water to stain the drywall.
Removing the sheetrock, as well as the insulation, allows the wooden structure to air out and dry. During this time, a roofing company had come by to perform a repair on the flat roof above.

Due to the height of the ceiling, walkboards were used to perform work.
The walkboards allow me to work free of the ladders, but also get closer during the sanding to ensure that a smooth application is being performed.
Finished product. The final received a coat of PVA primer, followed by a coat of ceiling paint.
Drywall repair for a commercial restaurant.
Was called in due to peeling paint. The cause of this is usually due to moisture trapped behind from leaks.
After inspecting the ceiling, it was the determined that this was an old issue that has been resolved, without repairing the cosmetics of the interior.
To correct, this involved scraping back the failing paint and any paper on the sheetrock that was also failing. If in the instance, the paper had continued to remove until the gypsum was exposed, a new drywall patch would have been inserted.
Following steps involved a coat of BIN Shellac primer on the exposed drywall paper, followed by coats of compound, until the damaged area was built up enough for sanding.
The surface is then sanded back to blend in with the existing surface.
Followed by a coat of PVA primer, a single spot paint of the repaired area, and a full coat of the entire wall to prevent flashing, since paint is a satin finish.
