Why Fix Your Drywall

We provide reliable service. We offer fair rates. You pay $120 for the first hour. You pay $85 for each additional hour. We work fast. We bring all the tools. You relax.
Repairing Small Nail Holes
You moved your art. You left small holes. These are common in Yaletown condos. You see them in Westside rentals.
Start by cleaning the hole. Remove loose paper. Use a small putty knife. Apply drywall compound. Press the mud into the hole. Wipe away the extra. Let it dry. Sand the spot lightly. Repeat if needed. Paint the area.
This takes little time. It makes a big difference. Your walls look clean. Your landlord stays happy.
Fixing Doorknob Holes
Doors swing hard. Knobs hit the wall. You get a round hole. This happens in East Vancouver family homes. It happens in busy North Vancouver houses.
Buy a mesh patch. Clean the wall around the hole. Stick the patch over the gap. Apply a thin layer of mud. Use a wider knife. Feather the edges. Let it dry completely. Sand the surface. Apply a second coat. Make the layer wider. Sand again.
The hole disappears. The wall feels solid.
Large Hole Repair
Accidents happen. You moved a couch. You tripped. Now you have a large hole. This requires a "California patch" or a backer board.
Cut a square around the damage. Use a drywall saw. Measure a new piece of drywall. Cut the piece to fit. Screw a wood strip behind the hole. Place the new drywall inside. Screw it to the wood. Tape the seams. Apply mud. Sand the area.
We do this often in Burnaby. We do it in Richmond. It takes skill. We have the experience.
Fixing Cracked Drywall Seams
Your house settles. The ground moves. Seams start to crack. You see lines in the corners. You see lines on the ceiling. This is common in South Vancouver. It happens in older homes in Kerrisdale.
Remove the old tape. Scrape away loose mud. Apply new mesh tape. Spread compound over the tape. Smooth it out. Let it dry. Sand it. Apply a finish coat. Sand it very smooth.
Cracks stop growing. Your ceiling looks new.
Texture Matching
Vancouver homes have different walls. Some are smooth. Some have texture. Matching texture is hard.
We analyze your wall. We use spray texture or sponges. We match the pattern. We blend the edges. You won't see the patch. This is important for Main St shops. It is vital for South Main apartments.
Water Damage Repair
Leaks cause bubbles. Drywall gets soft. It turns brown. You might live in Richmond. You might have a leak in UBC.
Stop the leak first. Cut out the wet drywall. Check for mold. Install new drywall. Follow the standard patch steps. Seal the area.
Never ignore wet walls. They get heavy. They can fall. They can smell. Call us to help.
