Damage Assessment
We inspect all damage areas, identify the root cause (settling, moisture, impact), and determine the right repair approach for each spot. The established families, retirees upgrading homes, young professionals in new condos in Don Mills appreciate that we take time to understand their home before quoting.
Material Removal
Loose or damaged drywall material is carefully removed. We cut back to solid material and ensure proper framing support for the patch. The 1950s-1970s construction common in Don Mills means we allocate extra time for proper surface work.
Taping & Mudding
Mesh tape applied to all seams, followed by three coats of joint compound. Each coat is sanded smooth before the next application. The 1950s-1970s homes along The Donway often need particular care at this stage due to their original materials.
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. Don Mills homeowners expect a premium result, and this step is where that quality becomes visible.
Paint Matching & Application
We color-match your existing wall paint and apply seamless coats. The finished repair blends invisibly with the surrounding surface. Don Mills homeowners are particular about their spaces, and our final walkthrough reflects that standard.
