Our Drywall Repair Process
Great results come from dust control, proper substrate repair, and careful blending. We begin with a site review to confirm the scope, access, and schedule, then set up clean containment so your space keeps functioning. Repairs are matched to the substrate and finish level, and everything is sanded, primed, and inspected before paint.
Assessment and quote
We identify cracks, dents, nail pops, corner bead damage, water damage, and failed joints. We confirm finish level and paint plan.
Protection and containment
Floor and furniture protection, plastic sheeting, zipper doors, negative air where needed, and HEPA sanding to control dust.
Repairs
Patching, taping, and mudding with setting compounds or joint compound as appropriate. Replacement of sections and backing where the board is compromised.
Surface blending
Skim coating and feathering to lose edges. Texture matching for orange peel, knockdown, or custom finishes.
Priming
PVA or stain-blocking primers for uniform porosity and adhesion, with special attention to repaired areas and new drywall.
Quality control and turnover
Light-rake inspection, touch-ups, and a smooth handoff to our painting crew or your own.

FAQs
Do you handle small holes and touch-ups?
Yes. We repair everything from picture-hook holes and corner bead dents to large cut-outs.
Can you work after hours so we stay open?
Yes. We schedule nights or weekends, isolate work areas with clean containment, and post clear wayfinding so people can move safely.
What about water damage or stains?
We replace compromised drywall as needed and use stain-blocking primers before paint. If moisture is ongoing, we recommend addressing the source before finishing.
Will the repair be visible once painted?
We feather edges, match texture, and prime to equalize porosity. With correct sheen and colour, repairs blend into surrounding surfaces.
Do you coordinate with other trades?
Absolutely. We often follow electricians, plumbers, and HVAC contractors to close walls cleanly before final paint.
