Ontario Drywall Repair Costs (2026)

Texture matching is the hardest part of drywall repair — improperly matched texture stands out under certain lighting. Common Ontario textures include orange peel (most common in GTA homes), knockdown (Mississauga, Brampton), and smooth skim coat (older Toronto homes and condos). Professional drywall finishers have spray equipment for exact matches; DIY attempts with a brush or roller rarely match accurately.

Drywall repair vs replacement — which is better?

For isolated holes and cracks, patching is always more cost-effective. For water-damaged drywall that shows mould (black/green staining or musty smell), the damaged drywall must be removed and replaced — patching over mould is not code-compliant in Ontario and creates health risks. Always address the water source before repairing.
