Drywall Repair in Burnaby: Holes, Cracks & Ceilings
From a doorknob hole to a cracked ceiling, we patch, sand and paint so the repair disappears.
Drywall repair in Burnaby, Done Properly
Drywall takes a beating. A door swings too hard and leaves a round hole. A TV comes off the wall and leaves anchor holes. The house settles and a crack runs up from the corner of a doorway. A small leak upstairs leaves a brown ring on the ceiling. None of it is a big job, but all of it is the kind of thing that sits on the list for months.
We repair drywall in condos, townhouses and houses across Burnaby. Small dings get filled and sanded. Bigger holes get a proper patch with backing, tape and several thin coats of compound. Then we prime and paint the repair so it matches the wall around it, which is the step most quick fixes skip.
What’s included
Jobs We Handle
Cracks at doors and windows
Settling cracks opened up, taped and feathered out, not just filled and painted over.
Nail pops and screw pops
Fastener reset, the spot re-coated and sanded so the bumps stop showing through the paint.
Water-stained ceilings
Once the leak is fixed, we cut out soft board, patch, seal the stain and repaint.
Old anchor and TV holes
Holes from moving out or re-hanging, filled and blended into the wall.
Patch and paint
The repair primed and painted, or the whole wall repainted if a spot won’t blend.
How We Make a Drywall Repair Disappear
Good drywall repair is mostly patience. We cut the damage back to solid board, add backing where the hole needs it, and set the patch flush with the wall. Joints get paper or mesh tape, then two or three thin coats of compound, each one wider than the last, with drying time between.
We sand with a light hand and check the patch with a work light held flat to the wall, because that’s how you see a ridge before the paint does. Then the spot gets primer, so it doesn’t flash through the finish coat, and paint to match.
What Kind of Repair Does Your Wall Need?
The fix depends on the size of the damage. Here’s how we approach the most common ones.
- Nail holes and small dents
- Filled, sanded and touched up. Usually a quick job on a longer list.
- Holes up to a doorknob
- A backed patch with tape and feathered compound so it stays flat.
- Larger holes and damaged sections
- Damaged board cut out to the studs and a new piece fitted, taped and finished.
- Long cracks
- Opened up, taped across and feathered wide, so the crack doesn’t telegraph back.
- Water-stained ceiling
- Soft board replaced, the stain sealed with a stain-blocking primer, then repainted.
Drywall Repair in Burnaby Condos and Older Houses
In Metrotown and Brentwood towers, many walls between suites and corridors are concrete, but the interior partitions are drywall, and they take the knocks from move-ins and furniture. We work quietly, keep the dust contained with drop cloths and a vacuum, and follow the building’s rules for working hours.
In older houses around Burnaby Heights, Capitol Hill and South Slope, you’ll often find cracks where the house has settled over decades. Some of those walls are older plaster or a mix of plaster and drywall from past repairs. We look first, tell you what we see, and repair it to match.

FAQ
Drywall Repair & Ceilings: Questions
Can you match the texture and paint on my wall?
Most Burnaby condo and house walls are smooth with an eggshell or matte finish, and those blend well. If you have the leftover paint, we’ll use it. If not, we can match the colour from a chip, or repaint the full wall so there’s no visible edge.
How long does a drywall patch take?
Compound needs drying time between coats, so a proper patch takes more than one quick pass. On a longer to-do list we work on other tasks while each coat dries, which makes the visit go further.
Do you fix the leak that stained my ceiling?
No. We don’t do electrical, gas or plumbing work. Those trades need a licensed specialist, and we’re happy to tell you when a job on your list needs one. Once the leak is fixed, we repair and repaint the ceiling.
Can you repair plaster walls in an older house?
Often, yes. Small cracks and holes in plaster can be repaired and blended. If a section is loose or crumbling, we’ll explain the options before starting.
