Drywall Repairs & Installation in Markham

You can spot an amateur patch from across the room, and it is almost never the hole that gives it away. It is the halo - a subtle raised disc catching the light, because the compound was piled on and sanded flat instead of feathered out wide across the surrounding wall. The rest of the tells are just as consistent. Texture that does not match the wall it sits in. A patch that was painted straight over unprimed compound, so it soaks up the paint differently and reads as a dull patch under any raking light. Tape that was skipped on a butt joint, which then telegraphs a crack through the paint within a year. And plenty of drywall damage is a symptom rather than the problem. Nail pops usually mean framing moved or dried. Corner cracks that keep returning after every repair usually mean settlement or seasonal movement, and the wall is going to keep telling you that no matter how many times it gets filled. Water-stained board means something upstream is leaking, and cutting it out without finding the source guarantees a repeat. Fixing the board is not hard. Fixing it so nobody can find it afterwards is the actual skill.
