Holes, cracks, nail pops, failed tape seams and water-damaged board — IntraBuild patches, feathers and sands them flush, so the wall disappears back into the room instead of standing out from across it. Every repair is left primed and paint-ready, whether you finish it yourself or hand it to our painting crew. Small jobs are welcome — a single nail pop gets the same careful patch as a whole ceiling. You get a written price before anything is cut, patched or sanded.
IntraBuild repairs drywall across the GTA and Southern Ontario — from a single nail pop by the front door to a water-stained ceiling needing board cut back and replaced. Every repair is filled, taped, feathered and sanded until the patch disappears into the wall, then left primed and paint-ready. It's the same insured crew that installs our new drywall, so a room that's easier to re-board than patch stays with people who've done both. One written price, agreed before we cut into anything.
Door-knob holes, kicked-in drywall, a moving mishap through the hallway wall — we back the hole with fresh board or mesh, fill in layers, and feather the edges until you can't find where it was.
Hairline cracks over doorways, popped nails working loose, corner bead dinged or bowing — cut back to sound material, re-fastened or re-taped, and finished flush so it doesn't reopen with the next season.
Bubbled or peeling tape, seams that show through paint, joints that separated as the house settled — old tape comes off, new mesh or paper tape goes on, and the seam is buried under fresh compound.
A slow roof leak, an overflowing tub upstairs, an old ice-dam stain — soft or stained board is cut back to dry, sound material, sealed with a stain-blocking primer, and patched or re-boarded overhead.
Every house moves a little as it settles and the seasons change — that's the hairline crack over a doorway or the gap where the ceiling meets the wall. Normal, and easy to patch properly.
A door swung too far, a couch corner on the way up the stairs, a dolly that clipped the hallway — the most common repair call we get, and usually the fastest to fix.
A slow leak behind a shower wall or an ice dam backing water into a ceiling both leave the same soft, stained board — the fix starts with the source, then moves to the drywall.
Access panels an electrician or plumber cut and never patched, old thermostat holes, a wall opened for a since-finished project — we close them properly instead of leaving a picture frame to hide them.
The right price depends on what the repair actually needs — a quick patch, a torn-out section with new backing, or a stained ceiling that has to be cut back and sealed. As a guide, expect $120–650 per repair depending on tier, with a service-call minimum of $200, before HST. Pick the tier closest to your damage; a cost-by-job table sits below.
| Single small patch | $120–200 |
|---|---|
| Door-knob hole with backing | $220–380 |
| Water-stained ceiling section | $350–650 |
| Whole rooms / full skim | quoted on site |
Every repair price covers the patch, tape, sanding and a prime-ready finish, with no separate travel fee. A typical single-repair visit sits around the $200 minimum. These are guide ranges before HST — a free written quote sets the exact price once we've seen photos or visited the site.
A dresser that caught the hallway corner, a mattress that scraped the stairwell — move-in week is our busiest week for patch calls, and most of these are done in a single visit.
A finished basement with an old furnace-inspection cut, a speaker-wire hole that was never closed, a panel an electrician opened last year — leftover openings from someone else's project, closed properly.
A stained ring spreading across the kitchen ceiling almost always traces back to the bathroom overhead — once the source is confirmed fixed, we cut back the wet board and rebuild the ceiling clean.
Older Ontario homes move differently than new builds — plaster and lath crack in their own pattern. We know when to patch in drywall and when to work with the plaster instead of fighting it.
A single patch doesn't sit at the bottom of the list behind bigger renovations — repair calls get their own fast scheduling, because most homeowners want the hole gone this week, not next month.
Sanding drywall compound makes fine dust that travels — we section off the work area with poly and sand with vacuum-attached tools wherever we can, so the rest of the house stays clean.
Every repair is priced and agreed before we start — no surprise add-ons once the wall is open — and carried out by a fully insured crew, the same one that builds our new drywall installs.
Every patch leaves sanded smooth and primed, ready for your painter — or ours. If you'd rather not match paint yourself, our interior painting crew can blend the repair in the same visit.
Send photos or book a visit — for most repairs we can quote from clear photos alone, sized by tier, before we ever pick up a tool.
Floors and furniture get covered, poly seals off the work area, and drop sheets catch dust and debris before the first cut goes in.
Damaged board is cut back to sound material and backed — with a backing board, mesh or new framing — so the patch has something solid to hold onto.
New board or filler goes in, seams are taped with mesh or paper tape, and the first coats of compound go on.
Compound is built up in thin coats and feathered wide, then sanded smooth until the patch is impossible to find by hand or by eye.
A stain-blocking primer goes on where needed, we walk the repair with you, and you're left with a wall that's ready for paint the same day.
Most repairs move through all six stages in a single visit — a water-damaged ceiling may need a short second trip once the compound has cured. Either way, it's the same crew start to finish.
Most repairs run $120 to $650 depending on tier — a small patch at the low end, a water-damaged ceiling section at the top — with a $200 service-call minimum, before HST. A free written quote from photos or a visit sets the exact number.
Most patches, cracks and nail pops are done in a single visit — cut, backed, taped, feathered, sanded and primed the same day. Larger jobs, or anything needing compound to fully cure between coats, may need a short second visit.
Yes — knockdown, orange peel and smooth finishes can all be matched so the patch blends into the surrounding texture rather than standing out as a flat spot once it's painted.
We repair the drywall; the source — a roof, plumbing, an ice dam — needs fixing first, by us or your plumber or roofer, or the stain comes back. We can provide photos and a written scope for your insurance claim, but we don't process claims directly.
Usually, yes — working overhead is slower and often needs bracing or a platform, so ceiling repairs typically run about 20–30% above the same repair on a wall.
The repair itself is left primed and paint-ready, but painting isn't included in the price. If you'd like the patch blended in and the whole room refreshed, our interior painting service can pick it up in the same visit.
For most homeowners, yes — a proper patch, backed, taped and feathered, holds for good and disappears under paint, where hardware-store spackle often shows as a flat spot later. With a $200 minimum either way, it's worth doing once, properly.
If the damage is contained — a few holes, a cracked seam, one stained ceiling — repair is faster and cheaper. Once a room has damage in several spots, old cracked-everywhere plaster, or damage across most of a ceiling, full re-board through our drywall installation service usually costs about the same and leaves a cleaner result.
Send a few photos of the damage, or just tell us what's going on — a hole, a crack, a stained ceiling — and IntraBuild will size it to a tier and send back a written price, usually within 48 hours. Small jobs are genuinely welcome. Free, and no pressure.
