Common Drywall Repairs We Fix in Scarborough
Scarborough’s housing stock — post-war bungalows, back-splits, semis, and newer townhomes — generates predictable drywall damage. Here’s what we see most:
- Doorknob impact holes in hallways and bedrooms
- Nail holes and picture hanger clusters on painted walls
- Curtain rod, towel bar, and shelf anchor pullouts
- Trade access cutouts after plumbing or electrical work
- Hairline cracks near doors, windows, and settlement points
- Water-damaged sections after a leak is fixed
- Screw pops and surface blemishes in older drywall
How We Repair Drywall
The method depends on the size and condition of the damage:
Small holes (under 2cm): Lightweight spackle, smooth flush with a putty knife, sand with 220 grit once dry, prime and touch up.
Medium holes (2–15cm): Self-adhesive mesh patch or California Patch method. Two to three thin coats of joint compound, feathered wide, sanded between coats. Prime before paint.
Large holes and cutouts (over 15cm): New drywall panel screwed to backing or studs. Mesh tape over seams, multi-coat compound, sanded to paint-ready. May require two visits due to drying time.
Water-damaged drywall: Source must be fixed first. We assess the affected area, remove compromised material, rebuild the section, and finish to paint-ready.
