Typical Price for Small Drywall Repairs in Toronto

For most small drywall or sheetrock repairs that can be done in a single visit, our typical price is:

$199 + HST for drywall repair only (no final paint)

This price is designed for small drywall repairs such as:

Fist-sized holes
Damage from door handles hitting the wall
Holes left behind by plumbers or electricians after they cut access panels
Small sections of damaged drywall that just need to be made “paint ready”

This service focuses on getting the wall or ceiling properly repaired, taped, and puttied, ready for you or your painter to apply the final paint.

Final repainting can be time-consuming (especially when colour-matching), so it is not included in the $199 price.

Why Some Drywall Repairs Cost More Than $199

Not every drywall repair fits neatly into a single visit.
Some jobs in Toronto homes and condos need drying time between coats of compound (putty), or involve a longer cut in the ceiling.
In those cases, the price increases mainly because:

We need more than one trip to your home

The repair area is larger or more complex

There may be water damage or mould issues to assess before we can close up the wall

As a simple rule:

Single-visit, small hole repair: around $199
Larger, multi-visit repair: often $250–$400+, depending on size and number of trips
Water damage or potential mould: can be higher, depending on what we find behind the wall

Long Ceiling Cut Open for New Electrical Run

One recent drywall repair in the Toronto area involved a 6 inch by 15 foot hole cut in a basement ceiling so an electrician could run new wiring from the electrical panel to a new dishwasher.

Baseball-Sized Hole from a Door Handle

Another common call we get, especially in Scarborough, East York, and North York homes, is a hole from a door handle hitting the wall.

Where We Work in Toronto and the GTA

We focus on neighbourhoods where small drywall damage is common due to busy families, condos, and older homes:

Scarborough: Lots of detached homes and townhouses where kids, pets, and daily life can be hard on walls and ceilings.
The Beaches: Older character homes and renovated spaces where clean, careful repairs matter.
East York: Many bungalows and semis have older drywall and plaster that need tidy patching after upgrades.
North York: High-rise condos and newer builds often need small cut-and-patch work after plumbing and electrical service.
Toronto GTA: We cover a wide range of homes and rental properties across the Greater Toronto Area.

What Actually Affects the Cost of Drywall Repair?

If Numerous Visits Required to Complete

Drywall compound needs time to dry. If we can do all the coats in one visit, the price stays lower.

Finish and Wall Coverings

Simple, flat painted walls are faster and less expensive to repair.

Water Damage and Possible Mould

If there is water staining, bubbling paint, or a musty smell, we may need to open a larger area and check for mould.
