Drywall Repair & Installation in Toronto, ON

Cabbagetown's pre-1930 Victorians with plaster-on-lath ceilings, Leaside's 1940s brick homes with asbestos-era popcorn, and Liberty Village condo towers with ceiling damage from unit leaks above - each demands a different drywall approach. Toronto Drywall Pro handles repair, installation, and dustless removal matched to Toronto's housing stock.

Drywall Problems in Toronto? Fast Help 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 Cabbagetown Settling Cracks

Heritage Victorian homes built before 1920 in Cabbagetown and Riverdale develop recurring hairline cracks at door corners and ceiling seams as the structure adjusts seasonally. Patching without addressing the cause produces cracks that return within 6 to 12 months.

02

Your King West Condo Ceiling Leak

High-rise condos along King Street West and Liberty Village report water-damage ceiling repairs from unit-above plumbing failures more consistently than any other Toronto neighbourhood. Insurance documentation and quick dry-out verification are part of every repair scope.

03

Your Annex Plaster-on-Lath Conversion

Edwardian homes in the Annex and Seaton Village commonly have original plaster ceilings that are crumbling at lath keys. We assess whether skim-coat stabilisation will hold or whether re-sheeting with modern drywall is the more durable solution.

04

Your Yorkville Level 5 Upgrade

Luxury renovations in Yorkville and Rosedale specify Level 5 skim coat on all walls and ceilings for raked-light and high-gloss paint finishes. A Level 4 finish that looks fine under matte paint telegraphs every joint under satin or gloss.

What Toronto 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.”

Old Toronto Drywall Expertise

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 Toronto, Ontario. Our single in-house crew serves residential homes, condos, and commercial properties across the city with same-week scheduling and no subcontractors.

Toronto is the capital of Ontario and Canada's largest city, with a population of approximately 2.9 million in the city proper and 6.7 million across the Greater Toronto Area. The city covers 630 square kilometres and is home to a major financial district, four teaching hospitals, the University of Toronto, and the headquarters of all five major Canadian banks. Toronto's residential housing stock is highly varied: the core contains a significant inventory of pre-1960 detached and semi-detached homes in older neighbourhoods, while condos account for more than 60 percent of new residential construction citywide since 2000.

We provide drywall services throughout The Annex, Cabbagetown, Riverdale, Leslieville, King West, Liberty Village, Yorkville, and the Downtown Core. Pre-1960 heritage homes in these neighbourhoods typically require asbestos testing before popcorn ceiling removal, plaster-on-lath assessment before skim coating, and HEPA-filtered dust containment to protect heritage floors and millwork during the job.

Local FAQ

Toronto Homeowner Questions Answered

Do you work in occupied downtown Toronto condos?

Yes. Condo work in downtown Toronto requires elevator booking, corridor protection, parking pre-clearance, and compliance with building noise restriction hours. We coordinate all of this with property management before mobilising. HEPA-filtered dustless sanding keeps dust out of the common corridor and adjacent units.

How do you handle asbestos testing for popcorn ceilings in Toronto?

For any Toronto home built before 1980 we coordinate air or bulk sampling with a certified hygienist before any scraping or demo begins. If the sample comes back positive above the regulated threshold, we route to a licensed abatement contractor under Ontario Regulation 278/05 before our scope starts.

Can you match plaster texture when converting a lath-and-plaster ceiling to drywall?

Yes. We assess whether the existing plaster is stable enough for a skim-coat overlay or whether re-sheeting with 1/2-inch drywall is the more durable result. For re-sheet conversions, we feather the transition at the perimeter and match the Level 4 smooth finish. Original skim plaster from the 1920s to 1950s is a different texture from modern compound finish, and we advise on the achievable match quality during the estimate.

What permits are required for drywall work in a Toronto condo unit?

Most interior drywall repairs and cosmetic upgrades in a Toronto condo unit do not require a building permit. Work that creates new walls, changes the fire separation between units, or modifies structural elements requires a permit from the City of Toronto Building Division. Condo board approval is a separate requirement from the city permit and varies by building.

How do you protect hardwood floors and heritage millwork during drywall work?

We install ram board or rosin paper floor protection at all traffic paths before any work starts, and tape plastic sheeting at all doorways to contain the work area. HEPA-filtered dustless sanding eliminates the majority of airborne compound particles. We do not leave compound dust on hardwood, tile, or heritage window sills.

What does drywall repair cost in downtown Toronto?

Small patch repairs (single hole or hairline crack) run $150 to $350 in downtown Toronto. Ceiling water-damage repairs in condo units run $400 to $1,500 depending on the area affected and whether framing replacement is required. Level 5 skim coat on a single wall runs $400 to $900 depending on wall area. Free on-site estimate with same-day pricing.

Do you handle drywall for basement legal suites in Toronto?

Yes. Legal-suite basement finishing in Toronto requires a building permit, which triggers framing, insulation, rough-in mechanical, and fire-separation inspections. We sequence drywall around these inspections and provide inspection-ready Type X fire separation documentation at the stairwell and any garage wall.

How long does drywall installation take for a Toronto downtown renovation?

A single room or condo suite repair typically takes 1 to 3 days. A full floor or whole-unit renovation in a downtown Toronto condo runs 1 to 3 weeks depending on scope, floor count, and elevator access constraints. Whole-home renovations in older Toronto detached homes run 2 to 6 weeks. We provide a project calendar at the estimate.
