Drywall & Plaster Repair in Nepean

$180–$360 per patch

What this looks like in Nepean

Nepean covers a much wider age range than the newer suburbs, and the drywall work reflects that. Around Merivale and City View there is a lot of sixties and seventies stock where the board is thinner than modern spec and the joints were done by hand, so repairs need feathering wider to disappear. Newer Centrepointe and Craig Henry infill behaves like Kanata. The common thread across all of it is finished basements, which is where most of the water-damage calls in this part of the city come from.

What we get called for here

  • Basement walls with tide-line staining after spring melt or a failed sump
  • Thinner original board in older stock that dents rather than holes
  • Hand-taped joints from the original build showing through under side light
  • Textured ceilings in split-levels that need matching after a repair

Nepean pricing

$180–$360 per patch. Water-damaged basement sections where board has to be cut out and replaced run $420–$840 depending on the run.

Nepean questions

My basement drywall is stained — can you just patch it?

Not until the water source is dealt with. We will check with a moisture meter first, and if the board is still damp or the cause has not been found, we will tell you to sort that first rather than seal a problem behind a nice finish.

Can you match the texture on my older ceiling?

Usually close enough that the repair is invisible from standing height. Older hand-applied textures vary more than sprayed ones, so we test the match on a scrap before committing to the ceiling.
