Damage Assessment
We inspect all damage areas, identify the root cause (settling, moisture, impact), and determine the right repair approach for each spot. Working near Markham Civic Centre, we've learned that Markham estate homes benefit from a thorough pre-project assessment.
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 1990s-2020s (heritage core from 1800s) construction common in Markham 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. Near Markham Civic Centre, we've refined this part of the process through hundreds of Markham projects.
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. For Markham estate homes, we select products proven to perform against HOA exterior color restrictions in new developments.
Paint Matching & Application
We color-match your existing wall paint and apply seamless coats. The finished repair blends invisibly with the surrounding surface. We've built our reputation along Warden Avenue and across Markham by never skipping this final quality check.

Drywall Repair FAQ for Markham Homeowners
Answers to the questions we hear most often
How much does drywall repair cost in Markham?
Drywall repair in Markham 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. We've handled this across Markham, from Kennedy Road to Main Street Markham, and our approach is proven.
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?
This depends on the specific home, but for 1990s-2020s (heritage core from 1800s) estate homes near Kennedy Road, here is the general answer. 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?
Having worked on estate homes and executive townhouses throughout Markham for 15 years, we can say confidently: 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?
Every Markham project is different, but here is what we typically see with estate homes in this area. Yes. We offer popcorn ceiling removal as a standalone service or combined with drywall repairs. Many Markham homes from the 1970s and 1980s have textured ceilings that benefit from a smooth, modern update.
Can you repair plaster walls in older homes?
Having worked on estate homes and executive townhouses throughout Markham for 15 years, we can say confidently: absolutely. Many Markham homes, especially executive townhouses, have original plaster walls. We patch, skim-coat, and refinish plaster to maintain the character of older homes while fixing cracks and damage.

Great question, and one we hear often from new homeowners, growing families, tech professionals, multicultural households in Markham. 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?
