A proven approach that delivers consistent, beautiful results
Damage Assessment
We inspect all damage areas, identify the root cause (settling, moisture, impact), and determine the right repair approach for each spot.
Material Removal
Loose or damaged drywall material is carefully removed. We cut back to solid material and ensure proper framing support for the patch.
Taping & Mudding
Mesh tape applied to all seams, followed by three coats of joint compound. Each coat is sanded smooth before the next application.
Finish Sanding & Priming
The repair area is sanded to a Level 5 finish, indistinguishable from the surrounding wall. PVA primer seals the repair for even paint absorption.
Paint Matching & Application
We color-match your existing wall paint and apply seamless coats. The finished repair blends invisibly with the surrounding surface.

Drywall Repair FAQ for Leslieville Homeowners
Answers to the questions we hear most often
How much does drywall repair cost in Leslieville?
Drywall repair in Leslieville ranges from $150 for small patches to $1,500 or more for large areas or water damage. We price based on the scope of damage, not by the hour. Free estimates so you know the cost upfront.
Can you fix water-damaged drywall?
Yes, but we first verify the water source is fixed. We remove all moisture-damaged material, treat for mold if needed, replace with moisture-resistant drywall where appropriate, and finish to match the surrounding wall perfectly.
How long does drywall repair take?
Small repairs take a day. Larger projects may take 2 to 4 days because joint compound needs drying time between coats. Rushing this step leads to visible seams. We take the time to do it right.
Will the repair be visible after painting?
No. Our Level 5 finish makes the repair completely invisible. We sand smooth, prime to seal, and color-match your existing paint. When we are done, you will not be able to tell where the repair was.
Do you handle popcorn ceiling removal too?
Yes. We offer popcorn ceiling removal as a standalone service or combined with drywall repairs. Many Leslieville homes from the 1970s and 1980s have textured ceilings that benefit from a smooth, modern update.
Can you repair plaster walls in older homes?
Absolutely. Many Leslieville homes, especially converted industrial lofts, have original plaster walls. We patch, skim-coat, and refinish plaster to maintain the character of older homes while fixing cracks and damage.
Are you insured for drywall work?
Yes. Full liability insurance and WSIB coverage for all drywall repair projects. We are professionals who take responsibility for our work and your home's protection.
Do you also paint after the repair?
Yes. We recommend combining drywall repair with painting for the most seamless result. We color-match your existing walls and paint the repaired area plus surrounding wall for a perfect blend.
