Our Calgary Drywall Repair Services

We repair drywall installation in living rooms, basements, bathrooms, kitchens, garages, and stairwells throughout Calgary. If you have damaged drywall anywhere in your home, we can repair it and make it look as good as new.

Types of drywall damage we see all the time:

• Nail pops and screw pops from the house settling

• Tiny hairline cracks near doors, windows, and corners

• Corner bead damage from bumps and impacts

• Door handle holes that've punched right through the wall

• Big holes from furniture, accidents, or general mayhem

• Water stains after a leak has been fixed

• Previous DIY repair attempts that didn't quite work out

• Holes left by electricians, plumbers, and HVAC guys

We work on walls and ceilings, including textured ceilings - you know, the kind that are all popcorny or knocked-down or whatever.

Drywall Ceiling Repair in Calgary Homes and Condos

In Calgary, ceiling issues often stem from upstairs bathroom leaks, winter roof ice dams, or access holes cut for previous plumbing repairs. Water damage on ceilings is a common problem and one of the most visible issues in any room.

We replace damaged ceiling drywall, match the texture where needed, and prepare the surface for priming and painting. Our process ensures the repaired area blends with the rest of the ceiling, so you won't see any obvious patches or mismatched finishes.

When we're working on ceilings, we take care to protect floors and furniture below with poly sheeting and drop cloths. Dust control is super important, especially in condos and occupied homes, where you don't want debris spreading all over the place. We use specialized tools to ensure an efficient cleanup

What ceiling repair usually involves:

• Taking out the water-damaged or sagging drywall bits

• Checking for moisture issues or compromised insulation

• Putting in new drywall and making sure it's securely fixed to the framing

• Taping the seams with mesh tape and applying joint compound

• Matching the existing ceiling texture (you know, the popcorny, knocked-down, smooth stuff)

• Final sanding and priming for a professional finish

• We handle ceiling repairs regularly in Beltline condo units and in single-family homes in Tuscany, Evergreen, and surrounding areas.

Drywall Crack and Hole Repair

All those crazy temperature swings and house settling in Calgary can cause all sorts of cracks near doors, windows, and stair openings, which is why it's essential to call in skilled drywall contractors for repair . At first, they're just tiny little cracks, but before long, they're big enough to ruin a paint job and make your walls look pretty terrible.

Our approach to fixing cracks and holes is to do the job right so they don't come back again:

1. We cut out the loose bit of drywall around the damaged area

2. Add backing if the hole is big enough

3. Put mesh tape over the cracks and seams

4. Build up multiple layers of drywall compound, allowing it time to dry properly

5. Sand it down and feather the edges so it blends in with the surrounding wall

6. Give it a quick spot-prime to make sure it doesn't show through when you paint

We fix all sorts of different hole types - picture hook holes, TV mount holes, giant anchor holes, and holes the size of a doorknob that you might get in a bedroom or hallway. Our goal is to blend the patch in with the rest of the wall so it doesn't stick out under the lighting - especially if you're selling your house or taking photos for a real estate listing.

Having a keen eye for detail is what makes the difference between a repair that blends into the background and one that stands out like a sore thumb.

Water-Damaged Drywall and Leak Repairs

Leaky dishwashers, washing machines, and basement plumbing are common causes of drywall damage in Calgary homes. When water gets into the drywall, it causes all sorts of problems - stains, bubbling, and eventually even structural damage if you don't get it fixed.

We only do drywall repairs after the leak has been fixed by a plumber or roofer. This prevents further damage and ensures your repairs last. If you're not sure whether the leak has been fixed, we can help you arrange the right tradesman before we start.

Our water damage repair process:

• Get rid of all the wet drywall - even if it looks okay, but feels soft to the touch

• Inspect for mold, mildew or compromised insulation in the cavity

• Make sure the cavity is completely dry before closing it up

• Put in new drywall and screw it to the studs or ceiling joists

• Tape the seams, apply the compound, sand it down, and prime it for painting

We do a lot of work in Coventry Hills and other established Calgary neighbourhoods, fixing ceilings in kitchens that are below upstairs bathrooms in 1990s homes. These houses have original plumbing that's starting to age.

Addressing water damage as soon as possible preserves your home's integrity and appearance, which is crucial for timely project completion . Don't let a moisture problem hang around - it only gets worse and more expensive over time.

Our Drywall Repair Process - From Quote to Perfect Finish

We do everything the same way for all our drywall work in Calgary - this means every project is smooth and you know exactly where you're at from start to finish.

For smaller repairs, the work can be completed in a single visit, but sometimes we need to return if additional drying time is required or to apply another coat of compound. We care for the adjacent finishes - floors, trim, furniture - and use the right dust control for the job - whether it's in a condo or a house that's occupied.

Assessment and Estimate

Getting started is pretty simple. You can request a free estimate by phone or email, preferably with photos and a rough estimate of the damaged area size. The more information you provide upfront, the more accurate our initial price will be.

Things that help us get a more accurate quote:

• What sort of room is it (bathroom, basement, etc)

• How high the ceiling is and if it's easy to get to

• If we need to match the texture

• Number of places that are damaged

• If you need some other work done at the same time (trim, painting, etc)

For simple patches, we can often provide a rough cost estimate from the photos. For larger, more complex jobs, we may recommend a quick visit to provide a reliable quote.

We're all about fair prices with no hidden surprises, and we start by offering a free quote for your drywall repair need. The estimate you receive will cover everything we've discussed, and if anything comes up during the work, we'll let you know immediately. Next comes taping and mudding - the final stages of making that hole in the wall disappear. We apply mesh tape over the seams and joints, then build up layers of joint compound. The thing is, most repairs require multiple passes to achieve a silky-smooth finish, which means waiting for the compound to dry between coats. The exact timeline is a bit of a moving target - it all depends on the temperature in the room, how humid it is, and the size of the repair.

We sand and feather the repair with quality craftsmanship so it blends in with the surrounding wall or ceiling - so seamlessly, in fact, you should barely be able to notice where the old wall ends and the new patch starts. That's our goal every time we tackle a job: to make the repair invisible.

The result is a surface that looks as if it were never damaged in the first place. That, for us, is what a flawless finish means.

Priming, Painting, and Clean-Up

If you prefer, we can handle priming and touch-ups, or leave the paint-ready for your painter. Either way, it's essential to prime properly - it keeps the new compound from flashing, and stops it from taking paint in a different way than the old wall.

Why priming really matters:

• Seals off the porous surface of the fresh compound

• Creates a uniform way for paint to soak into old and new surfaces

• Stops the paint from looking dull and uneven after the job is done

• Ensures the paint colour stays consistent across the repair

Once we are done, we clean up all dust and debris, take down the plastic sheeting, and aim to leave your space looking just as tidy as it did when we arrived. We take pride in being considerate of your home throughout the whole process.

Calgary Drywall Repair Costs - What You Can Expect

The cost of drywall repair in Calgary depends on several factors: the size of the damaged area, its location in your house, how accessible it is, the desired texture, and whether painting is included, which we can outline in a detailed estimate .

Small patches - maybe a few holes or a patch about the size of your fist - get priced differently from big stretches of ceiling or whole walls. A single small hole in a bedroom that's easy to reach will be much cheaper than repairing water damage to a vaulted ceiling.

Ceilings with intricate textures, high stairwells, and tight condo spaces all require more of our time and cost more. And if you have repairs in tricky locations (behind toilets, above staircases, in closets) they will take longer and cost more than if you were to just fix a straightforward wall section.

We'd love it if you could send over some photos and approximate measurements so we can provide a more accurate estimate for your Calgary home. Every drywall job is different, and we tailor our pricing to the scope of work.

Factors That Affect Your Drywall Repair Quote

These are the key factors that determine how we price your drywall repair:

Square foot area Larger repairs need more materials and time

Number of patches Multiple repairs add complexity

Wall vs ceiling Ceiling work is trickier, as we have to work overhead

Texture matching Speciality textures take a lot of skill to match

Accessibility Tight spaces, high ceilings and long staircases all add difficulty

Water damage May need to replace insulation, inspect for mould

Backing repair If studs or framing are damaged, we need to do some extra work

Combining several small repairs into a single visit usually costs less than booking multiple separate calls. If you've got a list of drywall jobs throughout your house, let us know - we can bundle them together and save you money compared to dealing with each one at a time.

How Long Does a Typical Drywall Repair Take in Calgary?

Most minor repairs - maybe a single small patch or a handful of holes - can be done in a day, but a larger renovation project may require more time. We may need to return for a follow-up visit to sand or touch up certain areas after the compound has fully set.

For larger jobs involving multiple rooms or long stretches of ceiling, expect the work to take a few days. We schedule things to minimize disruption, especially in busy family homes and rental units with tenants.

Typical timeframes:

• Single small hole: Can be done the same day

• Multiple patches in one room: 1-2 days

• Water damage repair: 2-3 days, depending on how long things take to dry

• Full wall or ceiling replacement: 3-5 days
