Drywall Repair in Toronto — Holes, Cracks and Water Damage Fixed
We patch, skim-coat, and texture-match drywall damage of every size — from nail pops to water-damaged sections — leaving your walls paint-ready and seamless.
Most Toronto homes develop drywall damage over time — nail pops from seasonal movement, stress cracks along door frames, holes left by plumbers or electricians, or soft patches from an old leak. Whatever the cause, the fix requires more than spackling. A professional drywall repair job in Toronto means cutting back to stable material, backing the patch properly, and building up compound in thin coats so the repair bonds and stays flat.
The finish is where most DIY repairs fail. Once the patch is solid, we skim-coat the surrounding area and feather the edges so there's no visible seam. If your walls or ceiling have a texture — orange-peel, knockdown, stucco, or anything in between — we replicate it by hand before prime. Texture matching is a craft skill; getting it wrong means the repair reads under raking light even after paint.
Every repair we do is taken through to a primed, paint-ready surface. That means you can schedule your interior house painting immediately after without waiting on additional prep. Whether it's one nail pop or a large water-damaged section that needs re-boarding, we scope the work honestly, finish it cleanly, and leave nothing for you to deal with afterward.

Our process
- 1
Assess and scope
We inspect the damage, probe for soft or wet material, and confirm the scope before quoting so there are no surprises mid-job.
- 2
Cut back and prepare
Damaged or unstable drywall is cut back to a clean edge, backing is fitted, and the replacement board or mesh patch is secured.
- 3
Tape, mud, and build up coats
We tape all seams and apply joint compound in multiple thin coats, sanding between each pass until the surface is flat and feathered.
- 4
Skim coat and texture match
A final skim coat brings the repair flush with the surrounding wall, then we replicate your existing texture by hand before it fully sets.
- 5
Prime and hand off
The repaired area is primed and left paint-ready — you can proceed directly to painting with no additional prep required.

- How much does drywall repair in Toronto typically cost?
- Small repairs like nail pops and minor holes run $150 – $350. A medium patch with skim coat and texture matching is typically $350 – $700. Large sections or water-damage repairs that require re-boarding, taping, and full finishing range from $700 – $1,500. We assess every job on-site before quoting.
- Can you match the existing texture on my walls or ceiling?
- Yes — texture matching is a standard part of every drywall repair job we do. Whether your walls have a smooth skim, orange-peel, knockdown, or a stippled stucco ceiling, we replicate the pattern by hand before the repair is primed.
- Do you take the repair all the way to paint-ready, or do I need a painter separately?
- We take every repair through to a primed surface so the wall is ready for paint immediately. If you're also refreshing the room, drywall repair pairs naturally with our interior house painting service and can be scheduled back to back.
- How do you handle water-damaged drywall?
- We first confirm the source of moisture is resolved, then cut out the compromised material back to solid board. Replacement panels are fitted, taped, mudded, and finished to match — leaving no soft or stained drywall behind.
- How long does a typical drywall repair take?
- Most small-to-medium repairs are completed in half a day. Larger water-damage jobs that require re-boarding and multiple compound coats typically take one to two days, depending on drying time between coats.
