Drywall Problems in Toronto? Fast Help Available
We've spent 22 years on GTA homes and condos. These are the four issues that drive most calls — and they're the four we specialize in.
Damaged or cracked drywall
Holes, dents, nail pops, hairline cracks, and settling damage — the kind that keeps coming back if you only paint over it.
Pre-1980 popcorn ceilings
Many older GTA homes contain asbestos in the popcorn texture. Removing them safely requires testing, containment, and HEPA filtration.
Water-damaged drywall
Ceiling sag, staining, and mold risk from upstairs leaks, burst pipes, or spring thaw. Insurance wants documentation; you need it fixed fast.
Basement finishing gaps
Unfinished or poorly finished basements that fail inspection — missing Type X separation, wrong drywall type, or substandard finish.

What Toronto Clients Say
“Burst pipe behind the kitchen wall on a Saturday. They came out Monday morning, documented everything for our insurance, removed the wet panels, and had it back to paint-ready by Friday. Honestly the easiest part of the whole insurance claim.”
“We had three contractors quote our basement. Toronto Drywall Pro was the only one who showed up with a tape measure, walked the whole space, and explained the difference between Green Board and Purple Board. Final job came in exactly at quote.”
Old Toronto Drywall Expertise
Old Toronto's pre-1960s housing stock puts our crew on a first-name basis with settling cracks, plaster-on-lath conversions, and asbestos-era popcorn ceilings. Heritage streets in Cabbagetown and Riverdale call for careful dust containment so the home stays liveable throughout the job.
Downtown condo work demands tight building-rule compliance. We handle elevator booking, parking pre-clearance, and after-hours dust containment as standard procedure — whether the building is in King West, Liberty Village, or along the TTC Yonge-University corridor.
For Yorkville custom renovations and Annex Victorian restorations, Level 5 finishing on raked-light walls is the norm rather than the exception.

Toronto Homeowner Questions Answered
Do you handle condo board approvals for downtown Toronto buildings?
Yes. For Toronto condo work we coordinate with property management on elevator booking, parking access, water shut-off windows, dust-containment requirements, and after-hours rules. We've completed water-damage and acoustic retrofits across downtown Toronto, the Annex, and King West condo buildings.
How do you handle plaster-on-lath ceilings in older Toronto homes?
Pre-1960s Toronto homes from the Annex, Cabbagetown, and Riverdale often have plaster-on-lath ceilings that move seasonally. We can patch, skim-coat over, or convert to modern drywall depending on the condition. We'll assess the ceiling first and tell you which approach lasts.
Can you remove a popcorn ceiling in a pre-1980 Toronto home?
Yes — and we test for asbestos first. For any Toronto home built before 1980, we coordinate sampling with a licensed lab before scraping. If positive, we either route to a licensed abatement partner or recommend encapsulation. Our dustless wet-scrape process keeps the rest of the home clean.
What does drywall repair cost in downtown Toronto?
Single-room drywall repair in downtown Toronto starts at $150 for a small patch and typically runs $150-$400 depending on hole size and number of patches. Ceiling water-damage repairs for condo units run $400-$1,500 depending on scope. We provide a fixed quote on-site before starting.
Do you work in Annex and Cabbagetown homes with older walls?
Yes. Pre-1960s Annex Victorians and Cabbagetown row houses are some of our most common residential jobs. These homes often have plaster-on-lath ceilings and seasonal settling cracks. We test for asbestos in any pre-1980 ceiling before touching it and contain dust carefully throughout the job.
