Fast Help Is Available We've spent 22 years on GTA homes and condos. These are the four issues that drive most calls - and they're the four we specialise in. 01 ### Your Birchcliff Popcorn Removal Post-war bungalows in Birchcliff and Cliffside from the 1950s and 60s carry acoustic spray texture with confirmed asbestos content at among the highest rates we test across the GTA. We test, contain, and abate before any ceiling work begins. 02 ### Your Agincourt Legal Suite 1970s and 80s detached homes in Agincourt and Bendale represent the highest volume of legal-suite basement conversions in east Toronto. Type X fire separation at the stairwell, egress windows in sleeping areas, and moisture-resistant panel in the bathroom are all required under Ontario Building Code. 03 ### Your Malvern Water Damage 1980s townhomes and stacked condos in Malvern and Lawrence East report ceiling water damage from ageing membrane roofs and failing plumbing supply lines on a consistent basis. We coordinate dry-out verification with your plumber before opening walls. 04 ### Your Wexford Nail Pop and Crack Post-war semis and detached bungalows in Wexford and Clairlea show impact damage, nail pops, and settling cracks from ageing framing. A screw pop that reappears after patching indicates the fastener was never properly set - we re-drive and fill rather than just compound over the bump.

Real Results ## What Scarborough Clients Say 4.9 based on 127+ reviews “The popcorn ceiling removal was unbelievable. They told us their dustless process was the real deal and they weren't kidding - we lived in the house through the whole job and not a speck of plaster on the floor. Smooth ceiling, paint-ready, done in two days.” Sarah Miller Etobicoke - dustless popcorn ceiling removal “Burst pipe behind the kitchen wall on a Saturday. They came out Monday morning, documented everything for our insurance, removed the wet panels, and had it back to paint-ready by Friday. Honestly the easiest part of the whole insurance claim.” James Davidson Oakville - water damage ceiling and wall repair “We had three contractors quote our basement. Toronto Drywall Pro was the only one who showed up with a tape measure, walked the whole space, and explained the difference between Green Board and Purple Board. Final job came in exactly at quote.” Priya Sharma Mississauga - full basement drywall finishing Local Expertise ## Local Knowledge of Scarborough Properties Toronto Drywall Pro [/ →](/) provides drywall installation, drywall repair, popcorn ceiling removal, basement finishing, taping and finishing, metal framing, partition walls, fire-resistant drywall, acoustic drywall, commercial drywall, and water damage drywall repair in Scarborough, Ontario. Our crew covers all of Scarborough from Birchcliff on the west to West Hill on the east, handling pre-1980 popcorn removals, legal-suite finishes, and water damage repairs with a single licensed in-house team. Scarborough is the eastern district of the amalgamated City of Toronto, covering approximately 188 square kilometres with a population of around 625,000. The area runs east of Victoria Park Avenue to the Durham Region boundary and from Lake Ontario north to Steeles. Major employers include Scarborough Health Network (three hospital campuses at Birchmount, General, and Centenary), the University of Toronto Scarborough campus, Centennial College, and a significant manufacturing and distribution base along the Highway 401 corridor. The housing stock is dominated by 1960s to 1980s suburban bungalows and semi-detached homes, giving Scarborough the highest concentration of pre-1980 popcorn ceilings of any GTA district. We provide drywall services in **Birchcliff**, **Agincourt**, **Bendale**, **Malvern**, **West Hill**, **Guildwood**, and **Wexford**. Agincourt and Bendale are the highest-volume areas for basement legal-suite conversions in eastern Toronto: 1970s and 80s detached homes with large unfinished basements that require Type X fire separation, egress windows, and moisture-resistant panel to meet Ontario Building Code for secondary suite registration.

Yes. We cover all of Scarborough from Birchcliff and Cliffside in the west to West Hill and Rouge in the east, including Agincourt, Bendale, Malvern, Guildwood, Wexford, and Lawrence East. Most Scarborough jobs get same-week scheduling. ### How do you test for asbestos in Scarborough popcorn ceilings? For any Scarborough home built before 1980, we coordinate certified air or bulk sampling with a licensed hygienist before any scraping begins. Scarborough has a high concentration of pre-1980 bungalows with acoustic spray texture that frequently tests positive. Where the result is positive above the regulated threshold, we route to a licensed abatement contractor under Ontario Regulation 278/05 before our scope starts. ### What does basement legal-suite drywall cost in Scarborough? Basement legal-suite drywall in Scarborough typically runs $5,000 to $14,000 for a full package including steel-stud framing, vapour barrier, moisture-resistant Green Board, standard partitions, Type X fire separation at the stairwell, taping, and Level 4 finish. Bathroom tile backer and electrical coordination are separate trades. Free on-site estimate with line-item pricing. ### Can you do drywall repairs in occupied Scarborough rental properties? Yes. We work in occupied rental units in Scarborough regularly. We provide advance notice scheduling, use HEPA-filtered dustless sanding to minimise impact on the tenant, and leave the unit clean at the end of each workday. For landlords managing multiple units, we can coordinate a multi-unit repair visit to reduce mobilisation cost. ### What Type X assembly is required for a Scarborough basement legal suite? Ontario Building Code Part 9 requires a minimum 30-minute fire separation between the legal suite and the main dwelling, typically achieved with one layer of 5/8-inch Type X gypsum on the stairwell walls and ceiling. The garage-to-house wall also requires Type X where the garage is attached. We confirm the required assembly against the permit drawings during the estimate. ### How long does a typical Scarborough basement drywall project take? A full Scarborough basement (600 to 1,000 sq ft of finished space) with steel-stud framing, vapour barrier, hang, tape, and Level 4 finish typically runs 10 to 20 working days from start to paint-ready handover, depending on partition count and bathroom inclusion. We provide a project calendar at the estimate. ### Do you handle drywall repairs in Scarborough condos after water damage? Yes. Condo water damage repairs in Scarborough require elevator booking, common area protection, and coordination with building management. We take moisture readings before installing new panels to confirm the substrate is fully dry, and we provide insurance-ready scope documentation and before-and-after photos for the adjuster. ### What is the permit process for a Scarborough basement renovation? Basement renovations in Scarborough that include new walls, electrical, plumbing, or secondary suite creation require a building permit from the City of Toronto. The permit triggers framing, insulation, rough-in mechanical, fire-separation, and final occupancy inspections. Applications are submitted online through Toronto's e-permit system and typically take 4 to 10 weeks for residential review.
