Can you repair drywall before painting?

Yes — drywall repair is one of our core services. We patch, tape, mud, and sand damaged areas smooth, prime them, then paint so the repair disappears completely.

Do you install new drywall, or just patch?

Both. We handle full-board installation, taping, and finishing — from a single new wall to a full basement — then prime and paint for a seamless result.

Can you match existing wall texture?

In most cases, yes. We match knockdown, orange peel, and smooth finishes so the repaired area blends with the surrounding wall. We'll confirm what's achievable at your quote.

Will water stains bleed through?

No. We apply stain-blocking primer over water stains and smoke damage before topcoating so they won't bleed through the new paint.

Is the warranty the same for drywall work?

Yes. Drywall repairs carry the same written warranty as our painting work, covering both the repair and the finish.

What It Is

What drywall & repairs solves

A flawless paint job starts with a flawless surface. Ayre Coat handles drywall repair and installation — from small nail-hole patches to full-board installation and Level 5 finishes. Because we do the repair and the painting, the fix disappears completely under a seamless finish, with one team accountable from bare studs to the final coat.

Common problems we fix

Cracked, dented, or water-damaged drywall that needs real repair, not just paint over it
Nail pops and settling cracks that keep coming back
Holes from removed fixtures, shelves, or old hardware
New drywall from a renovation or addition that needs taping, mudding, and finishing
Textured or damaged walls that paint alone won't hide

Our Process

How we approach drywall & repairs

A clear, repeatable process tailored to this service — so you know what's happening at every step.

Assess & Quote

We assess the damage, identify the underlying cause, and give you an itemized complimentary quote — repair scope, materials, and finish level — before any work starts.

Patch & Tape

Holes are patched, cracks are taped, and joints are mudded in successive coats. We match the repair technique to the damage — from small patches to full-board work.

Sand & Prime

We sand smooth, feather the edges into the surrounding wall, and prime the repaired area so the topcoat adheres evenly and the fix blends invisibly.

Finish & Warranty

We apply the final paint, do a walk-through with you, and hand over your written warranty. The repair and the finish are backed by one team.

Materials & Options

The right products for this work

We choose materials for the specific demands of this service — not a one-size-fits-all approach.

Tape, Mud & Drywall

We use joint compound and taping techniques matched to the repair — from small patch jobs to full-board installation and Level 4 and Level 5 finishes for a seamless wall.

Repair Compounds

From setting-type mud for deep fills to lightweight all-purpose for finish coats, we choose the right compound for each repair so it's stable, smooth, and crack-resistant.

Sealing Primers

Water stains, smoke, and odours get stain-blocking primers so they don't bleed through the topcoat — the detail that keeps a repair looking clean for years.

Pricing Honesty

How pricing works

No fake fixed numbers — just a transparent explanation of how your quote is built.

How drywall pricing works

Drywall repairs are priced by area and damage level — small patches, full-sheet replacement, or new installation — with a clear line-item breakdown. You get an itemized complimentary quote before anything starts.

Bundled with painting

Because we do the repair and the painting, bundling drywall work with a repaint saves you coordinating two contractors — and the finish is guaranteed consistent across the whole wall.

Included at no extra cost

Custom interior design planning, complimentary colour analysis, and your written warranty apply to drywall repairs just as they do to painting. The quote you approve is the price you pay.
