Drywall Ceiling Repairs
From small patches to full panel replacement, we restore damaged gypsum ceilings with proper framing, taping, feathered mudding, sanding, priming, and paint blending, delivering flat, blemish‑free finishes that disappear under natural or directional lighting throughout your home or condo.
Small Holes and Recessed Light Patches
We repair cutouts from recessed lights, minor impacts, and wiring access points using backer support, precise circular or square patches, taped seams, and multi‑coat compound. After controlled sanding, we prime with a high‑build primer and blend the paint sheen to match surrounding areas, ensuring the patch truly disappears under spotlights.
Seam and Joint Failures
Ceiling seams that crack or telegraph are stabilized with proper tape selection, joint compound layering, and feathering beyond the failure zone. We address framing movement, humidity cycles, and previous repair issues, then prime and paint for a durable, smooth finish that resists seasonal shifts and harsh lighting angles common in condos.
Water‑Damaged Gypsum Replacement
After confirming the leak is resolved, we remove compromised drywall, treat exposed framing appropriately, and replace with new moisture‑rated panels where applicable. Taped and sanded to a level suitable for low‑angle lighting, the repaired area is primed with stain blocker and finished with colour and sheen matched to adjacent surfaces.
Plaster Ceiling Restoration
We stabilize traditional lath and plaster ceilings, stitch cracks, resecure delaminated sections, and apply controlled skim coats to achieve uniform, long‑lasting surfaces that respect heritage details while blending seamlessly with modern finishes in Toronto’s character homes and renovated spaces.
Traditional Lath Stabilization
Where plaster has separated from lath, we evaluate delamination, secure loose areas using appropriate bonding methods, and rebuild the surface with compatible materials. Our approach preserves the ceiling’s structural integrity and texture fidelity, preventing recurring cracks while preparing the surface for a refined skim coat and a durable, uniform appearance.
Crack Stitching and Skim Coating
We open and clean cracks, reinforce them with suitable tape or stitching compounds, and apply multiple controlled skim coats to merge repaired zones with surrounding plaster. Sanding and priming ensure a cohesive plane that resists telegraphing, delivering a crisp finish ready for paint in rooms with challenging directional lighting.
Dust‑Controlled Scrape and Skim
Our team erects containment, uses HEPA air filtration, and methodically softens and scrapes texture where safe, minimizing dust and debris. We then skim coat to flatten residual profiles, sand under extraction, and prime for a smooth, refined surface that looks excellent under raking light and modern LED fixtures common in condos.
Asbestos Awareness and Testing Coordination
For homes built before the 1990s, we discuss asbestos risk and, if suspected, pause work until third‑party testing confirms safety. When needed, we coordinate licensed partners for testing and remediation. Only after clearance do we proceed, ensuring compliance, homeowner peace of mind, and a safe, properly documented popcorn removal process.
Level‑5 Finish and Painting
After removal, we perform a level‑5 skim coat where necessary, addressing lighting angles and surface uniformity. We apply high‑build primer and paint systems with the correct sheen to avoid flashing, delivering a flawless, modern ceiling that enhances brightness and complements contemporary interior design choices throughout your living spaces.
Water Damage and Stain Treatment
We identify moisture sources, replace compromised materials, and apply proven stain‑blocking primers with odour control, restoring ceilings to a clean, uniform appearance while coordinating with plumbers or roofers as needed to prevent recurring problems and protect your investment.
Leak Source Coordination
Ceiling repairs last when sources are fixed, so we help coordinate with plumbers, roofers, or building management to confirm resolution. We use moisture meters during inspection, document affected zones, and schedule work after drying thresholds are met, preventing trapped moisture, future blistering, and premature coating failure in repaired ceilings.
Stain Blocking and Odour Control
Water marks, tannins, and smoke residues are sealed with specialized primers designed to block persistent stains and odours before finishing coats are applied. This ensures uniform colour, consistent sheen, and long‑term durability, especially in kitchens and bathrooms where humidity fluctuations often magnify visual imperfections on ceiling surfaces.
Targeted Replacement and Blending
Instead of replacing entire ceilings, we surgically remove damaged sections, resecure surrounding materials, and blend transitions with careful feathering. This approach minimizes cost, shortens downtime, and preserves unaffected areas while still achieving a continuous, visually seamless result once primed and painted under consistent lighting conditions.
Texture and Paint Matching
We replicate existing textures, match colour and sheen precisely, and calibrate finish levels to perform under spotlights and daylight, ensuring patched areas blend invisibly with surrounding ceilings in both single‑family homes and high‑rise units.
Insurance, WSIB, and COI
We supply up‑to‑date liability insurance, WSIB clearance certificates, and customized Certificates of Insurance naming your condominium corporation as required. Documentation is prepared promptly to avoid scheduling delays, reassuring property managers that work will be performed responsibly, safely, and in full compliance with building and legal standards.
