What you are seeing on your walls

When drywall damage keeps catching your eye every time you walk by

Repairs can be small in size but big in frustration. These are the drywall issues homeowners ask us to fix most often.

Cracks that keep coming back

Hairline cracks at corners or along seams show up again and again because movement or framing issues are not addressed.

Holes and patches that still show

Door handle holes, plumbing cuts, or electrical patches stand out because the repair is not flush or the texture does not match.

Ceiling stains and sagging spots

Previous leaks leave stains and soft spots that make you worry the problem is still active or the board is compromised.

Dust and mess from quick fixes

Repairs leave sanding dust on furniture and floors and the walls still do not look ready for paint.

Our fix: Diagnose, stabilize, and then repair with proper backing, taping, and sanding so the patch blends in and has the best chance of staying that way.

We look at what caused the damage first, then plan the repair so it is flush, properly taped, and ready for primer and paint, not just covered with compound.

    Final touch and ready for paint

Working around family life or tenants. We can schedule short windows and work in stages so rooms remain usable between visits when possible.

Repair approach choices

Drywall repair options that affect how invisible and durable the fix will be

We help you choose the right style of repair based on how big the damage is, where it is, and how much light hits it.

Not every repair needs a full board replacement, and sometimes a quick patch is not enough. We explain the difference so you can decide what is right for your room and budget.

  • Minor damage

    Small patch and blend

    When this is best

    Best for small holes and dents in low stress areas.

    Key details

    • Patching and feathering around small nail pops and dents
    • Door handle holes and small cut outs repaired in place
    • Good for walls that will get the same color and sheen of paint
  • Larger or repeated damage

    Cut out and board replacement

    When this is best

    Right when damage is larger, recurring, or around corners and seams.

    Key details

    • Cutting back to solid material and installing new backing
    • Replacing sections of board for more reliable repairs
    • Ideal for ceiling repairs and high visibility walls
  • Blend and appearance

    Texture and sheen matching

    When this is best

    Important when existing walls or ceilings have texture or strong light.

    Key details

    • Matching existing textures as closely as possible
    • Planning for paint sheen so patches do not flash
    • Advice for your painter on priming and top coats over repairs

What drywall repair typically costs in Toronto

Drywall repairs often look small but can vary based on cause, size, and access. These ranges give a general idea before we see the damage in person.

Nail pops and minor holes

Small patch repairs

For a handful of small holes, dents, or nail pops in one or two rooms where we can repair and blend quickly.

$350 - $900
  • On site assessment and protection of the immediate area
  • Patching, sanding, and basic blending on small spots
  • Cleanup so dust and compound do not spread through the home

Painting is not included but can be coordinated in some cases.

Most repairs

Moderate wall or ceiling repairs

For larger sections, multiple repairs, or ceiling work that require cut out, backing, and multi coat finishing.

$900 - $2,500
  • Cut out of damaged sections and installation of backing
  • Multiple coats of mud with proper drying and sanding
  • Coordination around leak fixes or other trades as needed

Heavy texture matching or complex ceilings can add time and cost.

Larger scopes

Extensive or multi room repairs

$2,500+
  • Room by room planning and protection
  • Phased work to keep parts of the home usable
  • Detailed handoff so painters know what has been done where

Work tied to larger renovations can be scoped together with other services.

What every itemized quote includes

  • We price repairs after seeing the damage so you are not guessing around surprises.
  • Protection, basic cleanup, and debris removal are included in our work.
  • If we find an underlying issue, we explain the options before you decide how to proceed.

Quotes are fully itemized with allowances, contingency, and requested add-ons itemized for clarity. No hidden feesever.

What moves pricing

What changes the cost of drywall repair

We walk through these items with you so you understand what is driving the quote and which pieces are optional.

Root cause and severity

Damage from settling or small impacts is usually simpler than damage from ongoing leaks or structural movement.

Location and access

Repairs high on ceilings, over stairs, or behind built ins require more staging and time than simple wall spots.

Number of patches and rooms

Grouping multiple repairs in one visit is more efficient than spreading them out, but it also affects time on site.

Texture and paint considerations

Matching texture and planning for paint sheen can add steps compared to flat walls with forgiving lighting.

Occupied home and schedule needs

Working around furniture, pets, and family schedules adds time for protection, setup, and cleanup.

Before work starts, we will show you how each of these factors applies to your repair so you can choose the right approach.

Guarantees that keep drywall repair from making a bigger mess

You want the damage gone, not dust everywhere and new marks around the repair. Our guarantees focus on that.

Protection on floors and nearby furniture

We protect floors, nearby furniture, and access paths before sanding or cutting so dust and compound stay contained.

Focus on root cause, not just covering

We look for movement, leaks, or other issues first so the repair has the best chance of lasting.

Clear expectations about blending and paint

We explain what we can do with texture and compound and what your painter will handle so you know what the finished wall will look like.

Respect for your schedule and home

We schedule short windows where possible, keep the work zone tidy, and clean up at the end of each visit.

Warranty on our repair work

If a repair we performed fails under normal conditions, we will investigate and address it within the warranty period.

The goal is not only patched drywall, but a repair that blends in, holds up, and does not make you regret getting it done.

Preparation

How to prep for drywall repair

A little preparation makes it easier for us to diagnose and repair quickly and lets you get back to normal sooner.

  • Show us where damage has happened, when it started, and if you have seen it before.
  • Move small items, decor, and loose furniture away from the damaged areas.
  • Share any information you have about past leaks, cracks, or previous repairs in the same spot.
  • Plan for pets and children to be in other rooms while we are cutting, taping, or sanding.
  • Confirm who will approve repair options and any pricing changes if we find underlying issues.

When drywall repair should wait

Sometimes patching now only hides a bigger problem. In those cases we will recommend waiting or addressing other work first.

Active leaks or moisture

What usually happens

If water is still present, new repairs can trap moisture and lead to mold or further damage.
Our fix
We suggest resolving leaks and allowing the area to dry fully before we repair, and we can coordinate timing with your plumber or roofer.

Structural movement not yet addressed

What usually happens

If a wall or ceiling is moving due to framing or foundation issues, repairs may crack again quickly.
Our fix
We may recommend an assessment by a structural specialist or contractor first so your repairs are not working against a moving structure.

Uncertain plans for future renovation

What usually happens

If you plan to remodel the area soon, extensive repairs now may not be the best use of your budget.
Our fix
We can provide a temporary cosmetic fix or suggest waiting until renovation plans are clearer so repairs and new work align.

Drywall repair questions we hear most often

Quick answers about timing, paint, and what to expect from a repair visit.

1
Can most drywall repairs be done in one visit
Small patches can often be completed in a single visit, but many repairs need at least two visits so compound can dry between coats and sanding.
2
Do you paint after repairs
In most cases we focus on repair and leave final painting to you or your painter. We can often prime the repair or coordinate painting if it is part of a larger project.
3
Will the repair be completely invisible
Our goal is for repairs to blend in as much as possible. Factors like lighting, existing texture, and paint sheen all play a role, and we will explain what to expect in your specific case.
4
How much dust should I expect
Drywall work always produces some dust, but we protect nearby areas, use vacuum attached tools where it makes sense, and clean up between visits.
5
Do you warranty drywall repairs
Yes. We warranty our repair work for a defined period, and if a repair fails under normal conditions, we will assess and address it.

I have used Mike not once but twice. It is not very often that you get commitment, quality, hard work, professionalism, and cost effectiveness in one package. He has done two bathrooms, pantry closet, and backyard shed and his perfection is commendable. He is my go to guy for any kind of work.

I contacted Mike with a long list of things I needed done in my home. He responded quickly, replaced fixtures, removed baseboards, replaced silicone caulking in shower and kitchen window, cleaned dryer vent and several other tasks. He was professional and completed all the jobs to my complete satisfaction.
