ANSWERS TO FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS about drywall

We definitely think so! A good portion of our painting projects require drywall installation and repairs prior to beginning the painting process anyway. Rather than hiring a totally separate crew for installing drywall, it’s way more convenient and cost efficient to have our in-house professionals come in and start with the drywall installation and repair. We’re practically a 2-in-1 service provider!

My drywall is in need of repair. Can you help me with that?

Yes, absolutely. Home Painters has a team of trained professionals who specialize in drywall repair. Whether there’s water damage or holes to patch or you need new drywall installation altogether, our seasoned team of drywall installers and tapers possess the patience and skills to help make your home look brand new again!

Important to notice, although we will provide a breakdown of the costs, drywall installation and repair at Home Painters Toronto starts at $1,795 + HST for a minimum job size. So what can you do if you have a smaller project? Well, consider bundling other painting, carpentry or handyman services to grow your project and get a better price.

Approximate prices for drywall repair

  • Small to medium job size: $1,800 to $2,500 + HST
  • Medium to large job size: $2,500 to $4,000 + HST
  • Large to XL job size: $4,000 to $10,000+ + HST

Yes, we include up to 5 colours of paint, also all the materials to protect and prepare the walls as well as labour are included.

Usually yes, painters can do it for you but that will add on the hours of your project and it will increase your overall estimate. But!, if there’s any oversized furniture that you cannot move on your own, it’s normally ok to ask them to give you a hand to move it a bit to allow them to paint.

Approximate completion times for drywall repair

  • Small to medium job size: 3 to 5 business days
  • Medium to large job size: 4 to 6 business days
  • Large to XL job size: 6 to 8 business days

 

Most jobs will take 2 and 5 days. But if your in a rush, inquire about our 1 or 2 day painting services.

We can suggest some of the most popular colours to get you started from Benjamin Moore and Sherwin Williams. If you really need help, one of our experts can come to help you pick colours.

The project will be completed by our in-house painters, who are all experienced and professionally trained (and not subcontractors).

***Or if you are in a rush, inquire about our one or two-day services.***

What could affect the price of drywall repair and installation?

• Difficulty to reach (unusual edges and corners that require special machinery to get to).

• How soon you want it done, and how fast you need it done. Consider that if you’re in a rush and your painting company has a busy week they might need to pay for extra hours or even move or cancel a job, and that could increase the price.

• Tied to the previous point, if you have a flexible schedule you can take advantage of a low season like the end of winter or the end of summer to get it done probably at a better rate.

• The size of the job. The more work you give to your painting company, the lower the per-unit cost. How does this make sense? Well, some materials are cheaper by volume but also, moving around less or spending more time at one job decreases all the logistics and prep work.

• Number of colours: if you can keep it to 5 colours or under, you will not see a price increase. The reason? there’s less difficulty to do the job and less paint or stain waste.

• Different types of paint can increase the cost. We use high-quality Sherwin Williams or Benjamin Moore paint so you can rest assured you’re well covered. Nevertheless, if you want something very specific or ultra-premium that can potentially increase the price.

• Payment terms (i.e. Visa vs e-transfer). A lot of clients like to use their credit cards for many reasons, however, these payments come with a  fee that increases the overall price.

• The amount of preparation involved. (i.e. isolating to avoid painting undesired areas, removing plants, covering and taping). We normally don’t move your furniture and personal belongings so if you need help with that we can do it but it will add more time to the process and will increase the bill. (TIP: we can help on the spot to move some really large furniture, so don’t get hurt trying to do that and as long as it’s a fast move we’ll just do it for you!)

• Heights: we need to bring scaffolding and assembling and disassembling will add time, thus increasing the price

MORE FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

While plaster and drywall are both materials used to finish walls in residential and commercial buildings, they aren’t exactly the same thing. Plaster is a stronger material with better soundproofing capabilities. Drywall is thinner but tends to provide better insulation options.

Drywall, also known as gypsum board or sheetrock, is composed of gypsum plaster enclosed by paper and is lightweight and cost-effective to be used for interior walls and ceilings

If the pin pokes into the wall easily, that’s drywall. If it doesn’t, then that’s plaster. A pushpin can penetrate drywalls easily because they’re softer compared to plaster. Meanwhile, lath and plaster walls won’t even budge with a thumbtack unless you use a hammer.

Drywall is a wall covering used in the vast majority of modern buildings. Plywood creates a simple, rustic appearance on walls. While plywood may appeal to a particular aesthetic, drywall is more adaptable to any design style. For a 4-by-8-foot sheet, drywall costs about $15, while plywood can cost between $20 and $50.

Knock lightly on your wall. If it sounds and feels hollow, you’re knocking on drywall. If it doesn’t really make much of a sound, but feels harder and solid, it’s probably plaster.

It is known for its convenience and efficiency in creating interior walls and ceilings. This material has revolutionized the way buildings are constructed and finished, offering advantages over traditional mortar or plaster methods.

Installing dry- wall can cause overexertion injuries, usually to the back, because drywall sheets are heavy and bulky. Injuries include strains, sprains, or tears and can range from minor to severe.

Drywall is a sturdy building material, but it can incur damage over time, no matter how diligently maintenance best practices are followed.

Cutting drywall and sanding dried joint compound can expose you to harmful chemicals in the dust. The dust can irritate your respiratory system and cause persistent coughing or difficulty breathing. If the drywall contains silica, long-term exposure can cause cancer or lung diseases.

Regular drywall, only thick sheets or double-layers: While it does not bring the most soundproofing, it is possible to use sheets of typical building drywall to create better sound resistance. This can either be a thicker piece (such as 5/8” instead of 1/2”) or a double layer of drywall, such as two 5/8” sheets.

Drywall must be primed before it can be painted to ensure that the paint stays on and isn’t affected by temperature changes in the room or environment. To prime your drywall, you need to clean it first by sanding it, vacuuming it, and rubbing it down with a black cloth to ensure that all dust is gone.

While a lot of people go for drywall for being affordable, it won’t guarantee long-lasting results. When it comes to having a long-term investment solution, vinyl wall paneling is an ideal choice. The price of wall paneling usually depends on the quality.

Water damage is the primary culprit behind most drywall damages. Whether it’s from a leaky roof, a plumbing mishap, or even high humidity levels, water can be highly destructive to your walls. When drywall absorbs water, it may swell, crumble, or develop unsightly stains.

With patience, the right tools and a friend to help you, hanging drywall is not very difficult. Tip: When installing drywall, place plastic sheeting at each door leading to other rooms to trap dust. Also, shut off the air conditioner to avoid getting dust particles in the ductwork and spreading it throughout the house.
