Toronto Drywall Contractor for Condos & Heritage Homes

Yes. Condo work in downtown Toronto, from CityPlace and King West to Yorkville, requires elevator booking, corridor protection, parking pre-clearance, and compliance with building noise restriction hours. We coordinate all of this with the property manager or condo corporation before mobilising. HEPA-filtered dustless sanding keeps dust out of the common corridor and adjacent units.

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.

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.

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.

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.

At 2026 rates, small patch repairs (a single hole or hairline crack) run $150 to $350 in Toronto. Ceiling water-damage repairs in condo units run $400 to $1,500 depending on the area affected and whether framing needs replacing. A Level 5 skim coat on a single wall runs $400 to $900 depending on wall area. Every job starts with a free on-site estimate and line-item pricing.

As of 2026, Toronto Drywall Pro charges $2.50 to $5.00 per square foot of board to hang, tape, and finish drywall in Toronto, labour and materials included. Finish-only work (taping and mudding over board someone else hung) runs $1.50 to $3.50 per square foot. Type X fire-rated and moisture-resistant panels add $0.50 to $1.50 per square foot.

A 12x12 room with 8-foot ceilings has roughly 530 square feet of board once you count four walls and the ceiling. At $2.50 to $5.00 per square foot installed and finished, that works out to about $1,300 to $2,600 in Toronto. Walls only, without the ceiling, come in closer to $950 to $1,900.

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.

A single room or condo suite repair 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 and elevator access. Whole-home renovations in older Toronto detached and semi-detached homes run 2 to 6 weeks. You get a project calendar with the estimate.
