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.

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.

Eco & Low-VOC Options

We offer low-odor primers and topcoats, HEPA filtration, and responsible material disposal, helping reduce indoor air impact while maintaining performance and durability for families, pets, and sensitive condo environments with limited natural ventilation.

Low-Odor Paint Systems

Choose modern low-VOC paints and primers that cure reliably without heavy odors. These systems are ideal for condos, nurseries, and home offices, allowing you to return to normal activities sooner while maintaining excellent coverage, stain blocking, and durable, wipeable finishes.

HEPA Filtration Practices

Our HEPA vacuums and air scrubbers capture fine dust generated during sanding and popcorn removal. By controlling particle spread, we protect electronics, reduce cleanup time, and improve indoor air quality, especially important during extended projects in tightly sealed, energy-efficient buildings.

Small patch repairs often finish within a day, while popcorn removal with skim coating and primer may take two to three days depending on drying times and room count. Multi-room or water-damaged ceilings require phased schedules to protect quality and minimize disruptions to household routines.
What warranties and insurance coverage do you provide?
All work is performed by licensed, WSIB-covered professionals with active liability insurance. You receive written warranty terms covering adhesion failures and major finish irregularities, plus clear claim steps. Insurance certificates are available for condo boards, property managers, and personal documentation upon request.
