Interior wall repair
From nail holes and doorknob dents to larger patches and water-damaged sections — clean prep, smooth finish and ready for primer when we leave.
Calgary's freeze-thaw cycles and dry winters put constant stress on drywall. Seasonal humidity swings cause the framing behind the wall to expand and contract, which pops screws, opens seams and forms hairline cracks at corners and around window frames. Most of these repairs look minor but spread quickly if ignored — a small crack in October becomes a jagged gap by March.
A proper drywall repair isn't just filling the hole — it's feathering the compound over a wide enough area, letting each coat dry fully, sanding smooth without damaging the paper face, and priming so the patch doesn't flash through paint. Rushed repairs show up the moment the light hits the wall at an angle.
We check the damage, confirm the scope, cut back any loose or damaged material and apply backing if needed for a solid repair.
Joint compound is applied in stages — each coat feathered wider than the last to blend with the surrounding wall. Texture is matched where practical.
Dried compound is sanded smooth, dust is cleaned up and the surface is ready for primer. Paint can be quoted separately for the same visit.
A single small hole takes 30 minutes. Six holes across three rooms takes half a day. Grouping repairs in one visit is always more cost-effective.
Smooth walls are the easiest to blend. Heavy knockdown or custom textures take more time and may not match perfectly on older surfaces.
Compound needs to dry between coats. For larger patches, a second visit may be needed to sand and finish after the first coat cures — this is quoted upfront.
Send photos for an accurate quote. Common small repairs can be flat-rated; larger projects are quoted by scope after seeing the damage.
Painting can be added to the quote. For larger patches, the compound needs to dry and cure fully before paint — we'll let you know if a second visit makes more sense.
We can match many common textures closely — orange peel, knockdown and light skip trowel. Older or heavily layered finishes may not be a perfect match, but blending minimizes the difference.
Yes, but only after the moisture source is fixed. We'll assess whether the area is dry enough to repair safely. Active moisture or mold needs a remediation professional first.
Small holes (1–3 patches) take 1–2 hours including setup and cleanup. Larger or water-damaged sections may require two visits to allow drying between coats.
A minimum trip charge applies for very small one-hole repairs. It often makes sense to batch a few small repairs together to get more value from the visit.
Clear the area within a metre or two of the repair. We cover floors and nearby surfaces during work. A bit of light dust is normal — we clean up before leaving.
