Plaster repair in Drake Landing, blended into the original wall
Plaster repair in Drake Landing, blended into the original wall
Older homes move, and plaster shows it first — hairline cracks, bulging sections where the plaster has pulled away from the lath, and crumbling edges around old repairs. In Drake Landing we repair plaster walls and ceilings and blend the work into the surrounding surface, or skim the whole wall to a flat modern finish. Drake Landing is home to Canada’s first community-scale solar district heating system in southwest Okotoks, now a well-established mix of single-family and townhome builds, so plaster and settling work here runs to settling-crack repair, basement development and renovation work across both the single-family and townhome sections of Drake Landing. We cover Drake Landing and all of Okotoks, 7 days a week.

What affects the cost of plaster repair in Drake Landing?
Crack repair vs bulging plaster
The cost of plaster repair in Drake Landing depends on whether it is a surface crack, bulging plaster that has separated from the lath, or a failed section that needs cutting out. Surface cracks are quick; re-securing or replacing failed plaster takes more time and material. We assess the Drake Landing wall on site and give a fixed price first.
Repair vs skim-over in Drake Landing
Many plaster walls in Drake Landing are best skim-coated over once the damage is stabilised — it brings an old wall back to a flat, modern finish rather than chasing endless cracks. We tell Drake Landing homeowners honestly which makes sense for their home.
Our Drake Landing plaster repair process, step by step
A patch does not hold on unstable plaster
Before any filler goes near a Drake Landing wall, we check whether the plaster underneath is actually sound. Sections that have let go of the lath get re-secured; sections that are crumbling get cut back to something solid to bond to. Patch over either problem in a Drake Landing home without addressing it first and the repair is back within a season.
From there it is patch, skim and blend
We fill with a material suited to plaster, not drywall compound, bring the surrounding Drake Landing area flat with a skim where needed, and feather well past the repaired section before sanding. Painted over, most Drake Landing homeowners could not point to where the damage was.
Plaster or skim-coat? What is right for your Drake Landing home
Keeping the plaster
Where the plaster in your Drake Landing home is largely sound, we repair the damaged areas and blend — the most cost-effective option.
Skimming to a modern finish
Where a Drake Landing wall has widespread cracking or an uneven, wavy surface, we skim-coat it flat for a clean modern finish, or remove failed plaster and re-board with drywall. We match whatever finish your Drake Landing walls and ceilings already have.
