What we do
Thirteen drywall services, one trade
We are a drywall specialist, not a general renovation company that fits drywall between kitchens and decks. Everything below is work we do every week.
Installation & Finishing
Hanging board and finishing it to a paint-ready surface, for homes, additions, basements and commercial builds.
Commercial Drywall Installation
Steel stud partitions, retail and office fit-outs, fire-rated and acoustic assemblies, worked around your trades and your schedule.
Commercial Drywall Installation ›
Drywall Taping & Finishing
Taping, mudding and sanding to Level 3, 4 or 5. The half of the job everyone can see once the paint is on.
Drywall Taping & Finishing ›Repair & Restoration
Holes, cracks, water damage and century-old lath and plaster, made good and blended so the repair disappears.
Drywall Repair
Doorknob holes, cracked seams, nail pops and impact damage patched and blended so you cannot find the repair afterward.
Drywall Repair ›
Water Damage Drywall Repair
Stained ceilings, sagging board and flooded basements. Wet material out, cavity dried, new board in and finished.
Water Damage Drywall Repair ›
Plaster Repair
Lath and plaster in century homes fails differently than drywall. We repair it as plaster, not by patching it like board.
Plaster Repair ›
Plaster Crown Moulding Repair
Original cornices and decorative plaster run, cast and matched to the existing profile rather than boxed over.
Plaster Crown Moulding Repair ›Ceilings & Texture
Popcorn and stipple removal, texture matching, and the ceiling holes left behind by light fixtures.
Popcorn Ceiling Removal
Stipple and popcorn texture removed, ceilings skimmed flat and left paint-ready. Asbestos testing first on pre-1990 texture.
Popcorn Ceiling Removal ›
Textured Ceiling & Wall Repairs
Knockdown, orange peel, swirl and stipple matched across a patch so the repaired area reads as original.
Textured Ceiling & Wall Repairs ›
Pot Light Hole Repair
Recessed light holes plugged, mudded and textured out, including the ones left behind when a fixture layout changes.
Pot Light Hole Repair ›Specialty Work
Soundproofing assemblies, insulation and vapour barrier, and exterior stucco patching.
Drywall Soundproofing
Resilient channel, dense board, acoustic sealant and decoupled assemblies for shared walls, home offices and media rooms.
Drywall Soundproofing ›
Drywall Insulation
Batt and blown insulation with vapour barrier detailed properly before the board goes on and hides it for good.
Drywall Insulation ›
Stucco Repair
Cracked, chipped and crumbling stucco patched back to the surrounding texture, with the lath behind it put right first.
Stucco Repair › Why a specialist
Doing one thing for twenty years produces a different result
Hanging board is fast. Finishing it well is slow, and it is the only part anyone can see once the paint goes on. That is the part general renovators rush and the part we have spent two decades getting right.
Before we call a job finished we run work lights across every wall at a low angle. Raking light shows every ridge, every missed screw and every seam that needs one more pass. It is the difference between a wall that looks fine at handover and one that still looks fine in June when the afternoon sun comes through the window.

What happens next
How a job runs with us
-
Site check and written quote
We measure, look at access and confirm what is already done. Usually about an hour on site, and the quote states the scope and the finish level.
-
Board, hang and bead
Material delivered and distributed, layout planned to keep joints out of awkward spots, then everything hung and fastened to pattern.
-
Tape, coat and sand
Three coats with a full day of drying between each. This is the slow half, and rushing it is what causes cracked seams a year later.
-
Raking-light inspection
Work lights across every wall at a low angle, last sanding pass, touch-ups, then we hand over a surface your painter can prime the same day.

Do you only do drywall, or general renovations too?
Drywall is the only trade we do. We hang board, tape and finish it, repair it, remove texture and restore plaster. We do not frame and we do not paint, and we work alongside the trades that do.
How quickly can you quote a job?
Usually within a day or two anywhere in Niagara, often sooner in St. Catharines and Thorold. Quotes are free and written, with the scope and finish level stated.
Are you insured and WSIB covered?
Yes. $2M liability insurance and full WSIB coverage, and our crews hold WHMIS and Working at Heights certification. Ask any contractor for proof of both before they start, including us.
Do you work with builders and property managers as well as homeowners?
Regularly. Roughly half our work comes from general contractors, builders, landlords and property managers who need a consistent standard and consistent pricing across multiple jobs.
