Do you cover all of Calgary?

Yes — we cover every quadrant of Calgary and the surrounding communities including Cochrane and Airdrie. The only jobs we skip are downtown high-rise units where building access rules out our workflow.

How much does drywall repair cost in Calgary?

Small Calgary drywall repairs — nail pops, holes and small patches — are usually a flat call-out plus a bit of material. Bigger water-damage jobs or full-sheet replacements we price after a free on-site look. You know the number before we start and it does not change.

How long does drywall repair in Calgary take?

Most Calgary drywall repair jobs — cracks, holes and nail pops — are completed in one visit, usually the same week you call. Larger water-damage jobs or multi-room work take a bit longer. We give you the timeline at the quote.

Will the drywall repair match my existing Calgary wall texture?

Yes. We match knockdown, stipple, orange peel and smooth Level 5 finish. We feather the edges past the repair so there is no ridge or hard line when it is painted. Most Calgary homeowners say they cannot find where we worked.

Do you guarantee your drywall repair work?

Yes. We stand behind every drywall repair job in Calgary and we walk every job with you before we pack up. If something is not right, we come back and fix it.

What affects the cost of a drywall repair in Calgary?

Small drywall repair patches vs. bigger jobs

The price of drywall repair in Calgary comes down to four factors: how big the damaged area is, whether the texture needs matching, access (a stairwell or vaulted ceiling in a Calgary home takes more time than a flat wall), and how many coats of mud the finish needs. Small patches — a nail pop, a doorknob hole, a screw repair — are a flat call-out plus a bit of material. Most Calgary homeowners are surprised at how affordable these are.

Texture and access affect the Calgary drywall repair price

Bigger jobs — water damage, full-sheet replacements, renovation tearouts — we price after a free on-site assessment. Homes in older Calgary communities like Edgemont, Hawkwood and Crowfoot often have textures that take extra care to match. Newer Calgary builds in communities like Tuscany, Evanston and Carrington are generally straightforward boarding and tape work. Every quote is free — you know the price before we start and it does not change.

Our drywall repair process in Calgary, step by step

Water damage drywall repair — confirm it is dry first

Every drywall repair in Calgary starts with a proper assessment before we touch anything. If water was involved, we confirm the source has been fixed and the board is fully dry — wet drywall behind a fresh patch is a future problem. Once the area is confirmed dry, we cut back to clean, solid edges. We patch using the right board and screws for the substrate, tape the seams, and apply the first coat of mud.

Mud coats and drying time

Drying time between coats matters — skipping it is the most common reason drywall repair patches crack or show through paint. We apply as many coats as the finish needs, sand it flat and feathered so there is no ridge, and leave the wall paint-ready. We clean up before we go and walk the work with you before we pack out.

Matching texture so the Calgary drywall repair disappears

The four textures we match in Calgary homes

A drywall repair in Calgary only looks right if the texture matches what is already on the wall or ceiling. We match the four textures we see most in Calgary homes: knockdown and orange peel on walls, stipple on older ceilings (common in 1980s and 1990s builds in NW Calgary communities like Edgemont, Ranchlands and Crowfoot), and smooth Level 5 finish in rooms where the light is critical.

Feathering the edges so there is no hard line

We feather the edges well past the repair so there is no hard line once it is primed and painted. In most cases, once the paint goes on, you will not find where we worked.

Drywall repair work we do in Calgary

Settling cracks in 1990s Calgary builds

The most common drywall repair call we get in Calgary is nail pops and hairline settling cracks — especially in homes built in the 1990s and early 2000s in communities like Edgemont, Citadel, Hawkwood, Crowfoot, Arbour Lake and Silver Springs. These appear as the home moves with Alberta freeze-thaw each spring.

Water damage and Poly-B aftermath drywall repair

Water damage is the second biggest category: a slow roof leak, a window not sealed properly, or a plumbing issue in the ceiling. We confirm the source is addressed first, then cut out the damaged board and replace it. We also do significant Poly-B aftermath drywall repair across older Calgary homes — where the poly-B pipes have been replaced and the walls and ceilings need to be closed up cleanly.
