$150-$300
A typical patch-and-finish visit. Final price is set in your free written quote.
The price mostly comes down to how many spots need patching and how large each one is – a single small hole costs far less than a wall with several scattered marks, and texture-matching on textured walls can add a bit more time than a smooth finish.
We feather the compound out past the damaged area and match the existing texture, whether orange-peel, knockdown or smooth, so the patch disappears once it’s painted. For anything larger than a small patch, we find the cause first (settling, moisture or impact) so the repair holds.
Most Ottawa drywall calls start with something small – a nail pop or hairline crack that shows up after a season change, a dent or hole from moving furniture or a doorknob strike, or a water-stained, slightly bulging patch near a past leak. Any one of those, or a few scattered across a wall, is enough to book a visit.
Ottawa's freeze-thaw winters flex a house's frame as the ground and lumber expand and contract, which is the most common cause of the nail pops and hairline cracks we get called out for.
Century homes in the older core often still have lath-and-plaster walls under paint, which patch differently than the drywall in a 1990s-or-newer build – we bring the right materials for either.
A patch is only good if you can't find it after. We feather the compound, match the existing texture, and leave the area ready for your painter or our own touch-up.

Pick a time that works. We confirm the scope and materials before we arrive.
Tidy, on time, and protecting your floors and furniture as we go.
We walk the finished job with you before we call it done.
In most cases, yes. We match orange-peel, knockdown, and smooth finishes so the repair blends in rather than standing out.
We leave the patch ready for paint. If you'd like us to paint the repaired area or the whole wall, let us know when you request your quote.
Once primed and painted to match, a properly feathered patch is generally not visible – that's the standard we hold every repair to.
