Drywall & Plaster Repair

How we approach drywall & plaster repair in Ottawa

Most drywall calls in Ottawa fall into three buckets, and they need three different fixes. Settling cracks along seams and inside corners are cosmetic — the tape has let go, not the wall — and they get re-taped, mudded in three coats and feathered wide enough that the repair disappears under paint. Impact damage gets a backed patch rather than mesh over a void, because mesh alone telegraphs through within a season. Water-stained board gets cut out entirely; painting over a stain without finding the source just moves the problem six months down the road. Older neighbourhoods add a fourth job — real lath-and-plaster, which cracks in a coarser pattern and needs a bonding agent and a slower build than drywall compound.
