Etobicoke Drywall Contractor for Homes, Condos & Offices

Yes. Toronto Drywall Pro covers all of Etobicoke, from Rexdale and Thistletown in the north to Long Branch, New Toronto, and Mimico on the Lake Ontario waterfront, including The Kingsway, Humber Valley Village, Islington Village, Markland Wood, Alderwood, and the Humber Bay Shores condo towers. Most Etobicoke jobs get same-week scheduling, and every project starts with a free on-site estimate.

Our 2026 rate for hanging, taping, and finishing new drywall in Etobicoke is $2.50 to $5.00 per square foot of board, labour and materials included, with a Level 4 finish. Finish-only work (taping and mudding board that is already hung) runs $1.50 to $3.50 per square foot. Ceiling height, Type X or moisture-resistant panels, and a Level 5 upgrade move a job toward the top of the range, and if you supply your own board we price the labour separately.

Drywall is priced per square foot of board, not floor area, and walls plus ceilings add up to several times a home's floor space, so the total depends on room count, ceiling height, and finish level. As of 2026, a typical 800 to 1,200 sq ft Etobicoke basement runs $4,500 to $9,500 for full drywall installation including steel-stud framing and moisture-resistant panels. Whole-house and multi-floor jobs are measured room by room during a free on-site estimate and quoted with a line-item breakdown.

For Etobicoke basements we use moisture-resistant Green Board on all below-grade exterior walls and Purple Board in bathroom wet areas. Steel-stud framing is set away from the foundation wall with a drainage gap, and a 6-mil poly vapour barrier is installed across the interior face before drywall goes up. Standard 1/2-inch panels are used on interior partitions above the slab.

Yes, for any Etobicoke home built before 1980 we test before drywall demo or popcorn ceiling scraping. Post-war bungalows in Mimico, Long Branch, and Rexdale built between 1945 and 1965 often have acoustic spray texture or joint compound formulations that may contain asbestos. Testing costs $80 to $150 per sample (2026 pricing), and we coordinate sampling and any licensed abatement before starting the demo scope.

Humber Bay condo repairs require elevator booking, corridor protection, and compliance with building work-hour restrictions. We coordinate all of this with property management before mobilising. Screw pop and hairline crack repairs in newer Humber Bay towers are treated with feathering compound matched to the existing Level 4 finish rather than panel replacement.

The City of Toronto requires a building permit for Etobicoke basement finishing that includes new walls, electrical, plumbing, or creation of a secondary suite. The permit process triggers framing, insulation, rough-in mechanical, fire-separation, and final occupancy inspections. We coordinate the permit inspection timing with our installation schedule.

Often, yes. Level 5 skim coat is standard on custom renovation projects in The Kingsway and Humber Valley Village where satin and semi-gloss paints and raking window light are specified, and it adds $0.75 to $1.50 per square foot on top of standard taping. We apply a full skim coat over the entire panel surface after the standard three-coat Level 4 base, sand to a mirror-flat finish, and do a raked-light walk-through before handover.

A typical Etobicoke water damage repair (ceiling section from a roof or plumbing leak) runs 2 to 4 working days: one day for demo and dry-out assessment, one to two days for new panel installation and tape, one day for finish coats and sanding. Larger multi-room water damage runs 5 to 10 working days depending on scope.

Yes. Most Etobicoke residential drywall projects are done in occupied homes. We use HEPA-filtered dustless sanding, floor protection at all traffic paths, and plastic containment at doorways to keep the rest of the home liveable during the project. We give you a daily schedule so you know which rooms are active each day.
