Ceiling Crack and Hole Repair

From settlement cracks to accidental holes, our repair process restores structural integrity and blends patched areas seamlessly so previous damage disappears under normal lighting, matching surrounding texture or delivering a continuous smooth finish as needed.

Assessment and Moisture Screening

Before repairing any crack or opening, we assess for movement, water intrusion, and framing issues using moisture meters and visual inspection. Addressing the root cause prevents repeat failures, ensuring our repairs last and your ceiling remains stable through seasonal temperature and humidity changes.

Reinforcement and Seamless Patching

We reinforce stress points with tape, mesh, or fiberglass mat as appropriate, then apply layered compound to rebuild planes without ridges. Our feathering technique extends beyond the repair to hide transitions, delivering a finish that remains invisible after priming and final paint application.

Texture Matching or Smoothing

If matching existing texture is required, we blend carefully to replicate pattern size, density, and randomness. Where a smooth look is desired, we skim wider, sand with dust extraction, and prime uniformly so light does not reveal patch edges or unevenness across the ceiling.

Water Damage and Stain Restoration

We remediate water-damaged ceilings by verifying dryness, preventing mold, rebuilding weakened areas, and sealing stains so they do not bleed through, restoring a clean, durable surface ready for painting and long-term reliability.

Leak Source Coordination

Successful remediation begins with stopping the source, so we coordinate with plumbers, roofers, or building maintenance to ensure leaks are resolved. Only when the area is confirmed dry do we begin repairs, protecting your investment and preventing expensive callbacks or recurring ceiling discoloration.

Drying and Mold Prevention

We promote rapid drying using airflow and dehumidification where needed, removing compromised materials and treating stains with appropriate primers. This approach minimizes odors and microbial risks, sets a stable base for compound, and maximizes adhesion so repaired sections cure evenly and finish smoothly.

Stain Sealing and Rebuild

After stabilizing the area, we replace damaged board if necessary, tape seams, and skim coat to restore flatness. Specialized stain-blocking primers lock in tannins, rust, and smoke marks, ensuring the final paint film covers uniformly without shadows, blotches, or persistent yellowing.

Smooth Ceiling Finishing and Skim Coating

Achieve magazine-level smoothness with multi-coat skim applications, precise leveling, and controlled sanding that eliminate waves, joints, and pinholes, culminating in a consistent, light-friendly ceiling that upgrades any interior instantly.

Multi-Coat Build for Flatness

We apply successive coats of high-quality compound, expanding the work area strategically to hide plane changes. Each coat is inspected under raking light to identify highs and lows, resulting in exceptional flatness that reads perfectly after primer and highlights architectural details without visual distractions.

Dust-Managed Sanding

Our sanding uses HEPA extraction to capture fine dust at source, protecting air quality and reducing cleanup. By monitoring profiles with straightedges and lights, we achieve crisp transitions and eliminate edge burn-through, creating a surface that accepts paint evenly in challenging residential lighting conditions.

Level 5 Finish Option

For the most demanding interiors, we offer a Level 5 finish that includes a full-surface skim and primer surfacer. This minimizes telegraphing of seams and substrate texture under critical lighting, ideal for open-concept spaces, large windows, and premium decorative lighting installations across Toronto homes and condos.

Asbestos Testing and Safety Protocols

When ceilings predate the 1990s, we coordinate certified asbestos testing and follow strict safety measures to protect occupants, workers, and buildings before any popcorn removal or disturbance of materials proceeds.

Certified Sampling and Lab Analysis

We arrange sampling through licensed professionals who collect materials safely and send them to accredited laboratories for polarized light microscopy analysis. Results guide next steps, ensuring regulatory compliance and informing whether specialized abatement is required before cosmetic work continues in your property.

Containment, PPE, and Air Management

When risks are identified, we utilize appropriate containment, negative air machines, and approved personal protective equipment. These measures reduce airborne contaminants, protect adjacent suites, and align with industry best practices so projects proceed responsibly without compromising health or building operations.

Clearance and Next Steps

Following abatement by licensed partners where required, we await proper clearance documentation before resuming finishing work. This disciplined workflow maintains compliance, reduces liability, and assures homeowners, property managers, and condo boards that all safety and documentation requirements were fully respected.

Dust Control and Site Protection

We prioritize containment, air filtration, and meticulous cleanup to preserve indoor air quality and keep homes livable during ceiling work, minimizing disruption for families, pets, and neighbors.

Ceiling Priming and Painting

Professional priming and painting complete the transformation, ensuring consistent color, sheen, and stain resistance while maximizing durability and light distribution across newly smoothed ceilings.

Primer Selection and Adhesion

We select primers based on substrate condition, stain concerns, and paint system compatibility. Bonding primers improve adhesion on previously painted or fragile surfaces, while stain blockers prevent bleed-through, ensuring your chosen finish coat delivers uniform color and sheen without surprises after drying.

Spray or Roll Application

Depending on access, ventilation, and building rules, we apply coatings by airless spray for flawless laydown or by roller to control overspray in condos. Both methods yield consistent coverage when combined with proper thinning, tip selection, and attention to open time and environmental conditions.

Low-Odor, Low-VOC Options

For occupied homes and sensitive spaces, we specify low-VOC, low-odor products that cure reliably without lingering smells. These coatings are safer for families and pets, reduce disruption, and still deliver excellent durability and washability under normal residential conditions across Toronto’s varied housing stock.

Condo and HOA Compliance

We navigate condo regulations, booking requirements, and noise windows to complete ceiling work efficiently while respecting building policies, neighbors, and property management expectations.

Elevator and Access Coordination

We schedule service elevator bookings, protect floors and walls in common areas, and share insurance certificates on request. Our crew arrives with compact, condo-friendly equipment and adheres to sign-in procedures, ensuring a smooth path from loading bay to suite without delays or complaints.

Work Hours and Noise Limits

We follow posted construction hours and minimize noise by using modern, quieter tools, coordinating loud operations within permitted windows. Transparent communication with management helps avoid conflicts, keeping projects on track while maintaining good standing with neighbors and the condominium board.

Documentation and Insurance

From WSIB clearance to liability insurance and safety plans, we provide documentation requested by property managers. This readiness streamlines approvals, reduces project friction, and gives residents confidence that ceiling work will proceed professionally and responsibly from start to finish.

Will there be dust or mess during the project?
We control dust using full-room containment, sealed vents, and HEPA air filtration combined with dust-managed sanding. Daily cleanup, bagged debris, and careful staging keep hallways and common areas tidy. Clients consistently report a far cleaner experience than expected for ceiling work in occupied homes.
Do you test for asbestos before scraping popcorn ceilings?
