Ceiling Repair Services
From minor cracks to extensive water damage and drywall failure, our repair specialists restore structural integrity, texture or smoothness, and paint readiness using moisture-tested materials, sound patching techniques, and careful blending that disappears under finish coats for durable, consistent results across rooms.
Crack & Hole Patching
We diagnose root causes, reinforce weakened seams, install proper backing where needed, and apply multi-layer compounds with mesh or tape to prevent future telegraphing. After sanding and priming, we blend sheen and texture so patched areas vanish, even under critical lighting and shallow viewing angles.
Water Damage Restoration
Our teams locate moisture sources, remove compromised drywall, treat stains, and install mold-resistant boards where appropriate. We seal tannins with specialized primers, restore joints, and ensure proper drying times so paint adheres flawlessly, preventing yellowing, bubbling, or peeling that often returns after rushed repairs.
Drywall Replacement
For sagging or severely damaged ceilings, we safely remove affected panels, re-secure framing, and install new drywall with correct fastener spacing and joint treatment. Precision sanding and priming prepare surfaces for smooth paint, while careful cleanup keeps surrounding rooms safe, tidy, and fully accessible.
Popcorn Ceiling Removal
We carefully remove acoustic texture, manage dust with containment systems, and deliver smooth, modern ceilings ready for primer and paint, meeting condo regulations, elevator booking windows, and building quiet hours while protecting floors, vents, and fixtures throughout the entire process.
Asbestos-Safe Assessment
Older textures can contain asbestos, so we review age, sample as required, and coordinate accredited lab testing before any disturbance. When needed, we provide compliant abatement referrals, ensuring legality, safety, and proper documentation demanded by many Toronto property managers and insurance providers.
Dust Control & Containment
We create sealed work zones with zipper doors, negative air filtration, and covered vents, minimizing dust migration. Fixtures and floors are wrapped, while daily vacuuming with HEPA equipment keeps lived-in spaces cleaner, protecting electronics, allergies, and young families during multi-day popcorn removal or repair projects.
Smooth Finish & Painting
After removal, we skim coat in progressive passes, sand methodically, and prime with the correct build for uniform porosity. Final paint achieves crisp lines and consistent sheen, preventing flashing under natural light, and transforming dated ceilings into clean, contemporary surfaces that elevate every room.
Toronto & GTA Coverage
We serve downtown condos, midtown houses, and GTA suburbs with crews familiar with traffic patterns, parking rules, and building standards, coordinating elevator bookings, protection policies, and site access to keep projects efficient, respectful, and aligned with neighborhood expectations and timelines.
Downtown Condos Compliance
Our teams follow condo bylaws, quiet hours, and protection mandates. We provide insurance certificates, load-in plans, and elevator bookings, and we stage tools compactly to respect corridors and lobbies, ensuring building staff remain informed and supportive from initial arrival to final walkthrough and cleanup.
Suburban Homes Expertise
Detached and semi-detached homes can involve varied drywall thicknesses, attic access challenges, and older ventilation systems. We tailor containment, ladder setups, and staging to protect flooring, furniture, and HVAC, enabling safe movement, family routines, and secure pet areas during active repair or removal work.
High-Rise Logistics
We coordinate loading docks, service elevators, and parking validations to avoid delays. Material deliveries are timed to building schedules, and our crews carry compact, efficient tools to minimize trips, reducing disruption while maintaining precision and cleanliness inside smaller urban spaces with limited ventilation.
Quality Standards
Our standardized methods prioritize surface preparation, moisture assessment, correct compounds, and meticulous sanding, followed by priming and paint systems matched to lighting conditions, ensuring consistent finishes that pass close inspection and remain stable through seasonal humidity and temperature swings.
Learn MorePricing & Estimates
Our free estimates outline labor stages, materials, prep, containment, and expected timelines, with clear assumptions and optional upgrades, so you can compare value confidently and approve only the work you need without hidden fees or mid-project surprises.
Photo-Based Estimates
Submit clear photos with room dimensions and lighting conditions, and we will identify texture type, water staining, or structural concerns. You receive an itemized estimate detailing prep, disposal, and finishing, enabling reliable budget planning before committing to any onsite visit or intrusive exploratory work.
On-Site Confirmation
For complex ceilings, we verify access, moisture levels, and substrate stability in person. The estimator confirms scope and updates pricing only if conditions differ materially, documenting reasons transparently so you understand changes and remain fully in control before any tools leave their cases.
No-Surprise Invoices
Invoices match approved estimates, including taxes and optional add-ons chosen by you. We never slip in unexpected line items, and we document any approved variations in writing, preserving trust, budget alignment, and accurate records needed for condo boards or insurance reimbursement submissions.
Customer Experience
From first message to final cleanup, you receive proactive updates, protective coverings, courteous crews, reliable timing, and meticulous results, with a dedicated contact who manages details, answers questions, and ensures your day-to-day routines remain respected throughout the project.
Timeline & Scheduling
We plan projects around drying times, elevator bookings, and building quiet hours to maintain momentum without sacrificing quality, offering same-week starts for smaller jobs and coordinated, phased schedules for larger, multi-room remodels.
Same-Week Availability
For minor patches and small-room popcorn removal, we offer rapid starts, often within a few days. Our scheduling engine balances crew capacity and travel routes, enabling efficient arrivals and dependable completion targets that respect your calendar and building access constraints.
Multi-Room Projects
We phase work carefully, completing prep, removal, skim coats, and priming in logical sequences that minimize downtime and dust migration. Strategic staging and containment allow families to maintain routines while larger renovations progress methodically without compromising finish quality or safety.
Evening & Weekend Options
When buildings allow, we accommodate off-peak hours to reduce disruption. This flexibility helps meet condo quiet hours, hallway traffic patterns, and household schedules, ensuring productivity remains high while common areas stay orderly and neighbors experience minimal inconvenience throughout the project timeline.
Popcorn Ceiling Removal – Per Room
Ideal for bedrooms or living rooms up to typical condo sizes, this service includes texture removal, containment, skim coats for smoothness, sanding, and primer, with optional finishing paint. We coordinate access requirements and maintain thorough cleanup, leaving modern, bright ceilings ready for décor.

Preparation Guide
Follow these steps to protect belongings, streamline access, and help crews work efficiently, reducing project time and dust while ensuring a smoother path to flawless, paint-ready ceilings.
-
Clear small items and wall décor, move lightweight furniture, and identify fragile pieces needing special handling. Inform us about alarms, sensors, or smart devices near work zones. We will protect remaining items, but early decluttering speeds setup and reduces the risk of accidental bumps or delays.
-
Plan temporary zones for pets and quiet areas for children during noisy or dusty phases. We can segment work and schedule breaks to accommodate naps or remote work, ensuring routines remain intact while our crews progress safely behind sealed, clearly marked containment barriers.
-
Reserve a loading spot when possible, confirm elevator bookings, and notify concierge teams of our arrival. Share buzzer codes and service entrance instructions. These simple steps reduce waiting time, keep timelines accurate, and prevent unnecessary overages related to access constraints or building security protocols.
Warranty Coverage
Our warranty addresses adhesion failure, joint cracking, and major finish irregularities under normal conditions. You receive written terms with claim steps, timelines, and exclusions, providing confidence that post-project care remains available and straightforward if anything needs attention after completion.
