Drywall Repair
Drywall Repair in Calgary
Holes, cracks, water stains, or damaged corners — drywall damage happens in every Calgary home. Whether it's from a doorknob, a plumbing leak, renovation work, or Calgary's dramatic temperature swings that crack joints and cause nail pops — DryBuild repairs it cleanly and efficiently so you'd never know it was there.
We handle repairs of all sizes across Calgary, Airdrie, Okotoks, Cochrane, and Chestermere — from a single nail hole to full panel replacements after water damage.
Why Calgary Homes Need More Drywall Repairs
Calgary's temperature swings — from -30°C in January to +25°C in June — cause framing lumber to expand and contract significantly. Drywall joints take that stress. You'll see cracks running along seams, above doorframes, and at corners where walls meet ceilings. Foundation settling in newer builds causes them too.
This is normal — but it needs to be repaired properly or it comes back.
Common Repairs We Handle
Holes & Punctures Doorknob holes are the most common repair call we get in Calgary. Also furniture damage, shelf brackets pulled from walls, and the occasional hockey stick. We patch, mud, sand, and texture-match so the repair blends seamlessly with the surrounding wall.
Cracks & Settling Hairline cracks from house settling or Calgary's temperature changes. We tape, mud, and feather the repair properly — so it won't reappear next season.
Water Damage Leaking pipes, ice dams, sump pump failures, bathroom condensation. Water-damaged drywall needs to be cut out and replaced before mold sets in. We remove damaged sections, install new drywall, and finish to match the existing surface.
Corner Bead Damage Damaged or dented corner beads on walls and archways. We replace the bead and refinish the corner cleanly.
Nail Pops Common in newer Calgary builds as the structure settles. We reset fasteners, mud, and finish so nail pops disappear completely.
Texture Matching We match existing textures — knockdown, orange peel, smooth, or custom — so the repaired area is invisible after painting.
Why Texture Matching Matters
A patch is only as good as the texture match. Anyone can fill a hole — the skill is in making the repair invisible. Our crew has years of experience matching Calgary's most common wall and ceiling textures.
What Does Drywall Repair Cost in Calgary?
Repair costs depend on the size and type of damage:
- Single hole repair (doorknob, anchor) — $100–$175 including texture matching
- Multiple repairs on the same visit — per-repair cost comes down significantly
- Water damage repair — quoted after on-site assessment depending on scope
- Hourly rate for small repairs — $75–$150 per hour
We provide free on-site estimates — no charge to come look at the damage and tell you exactly what's involved.
Fast Turnaround
Most repairs require two visits — one to patch and apply first coats, one to sand, final coat, texture match, and prime. Total time in your home is usually 2–3 hours spread across those visits. Larger water damage repairs take longer — we'll give you a timeline upfront.
