Drywall & Surface Repairs in Edmonton
iPaint Painting provides professional drywall and surface repair services in Edmonton, Alberta, including drywall patching, taping, mudding, skim coating, texture matching, water damage repair, settling crack repair, and plaster restoration. Edmonton's extreme climate — with winter temperatures regularly dropping below −30°C near the North Saskatchewan River valley and dry indoor heating running six months or more — causes persistent nail pops, seam cracks, and corner separation in homes across Windermere, The Hamptons, Heritage Valley, and Summerside. Older character homes in Glenora, Highlands, Strathcona, and Oliver often require specialized plaster restoration. Led by Mourad, a certified tradesperson with over 15 years of experience, our in-house team uses CGC Sheetrock, USG joint compound, and professional-grade setting compounds to deliver invisible, long-lasting repairs backed by a 5-year written workmanship warranty. Every project includes a detailed written estimate with no hidden fees. Call 780-938-9555 for your free assessment or request a quote online.

Why Edmonton Homeowners Choose iPaint for Drywall Repairs
We don't just patch holes. We restore surfaces to factory-smooth condition with invisible repairs that last — done right the first time.
In-House Team, No Subcontractors
Every technician on our crew is a full-time, in-house employee. No rotating strangers, no subcontractors, no middlemen. When you hire iPaint, you get iPaint — the same trained team, the same standards, every project. Drywall finishing is a skill that takes years to master, and our crew has it.
Certified Tradesperson
Mourad holds a Painter and Decorator Certification, plus MPI, WHMIS, Fall Protection, and Lead Safety (RRP) credentials. Proper drywall repair requires the same expertise as professional painting — surface prep is where the quality of any paint job is determined.
Professional-Grade Materials
We use CGC Sheetrock drywall, USG joint compound, fiberglass mesh tape, and hot-mud setting compounds — the same products used in new construction. Cheap filler from the hardware store cracks and shrinks. Professional compounds set hard, sand smooth, and last the life of your home.
Seamless Texture Matching
A drywall repair is only as good as the texture match. We replicate orange peel, knockdown, smooth, and custom textures so repairs blend invisibly with the surrounding surface. Most handymen skip this step — that's why you can always see their patches.
5-Year Written Warranty
Every repair we complete is backed by a 5-year written workmanship warranty. If a repair cracks, bubbles, or fails due to our work — we come back and make it right, no questions asked. That's our promise to every Edmonton homeowner.
Repair + Paint in One Visit
Because we're a full-service painting company, we can handle drywall repairs and painting as a single project. No need to hire a drywaller, wait for them to finish, then hire a painter. We do it all — saving you time, money, and the hassle of coordinating multiple trades.
The Materials Behind Our Repairs
We only use professional-grade drywall compounds and materials from the brands trusted by certified tradespeople across Canada. The material makes the difference — and we never compromise.
CGC Sheetrock
The industry standard in drywall products across Canada. We use CGC Sheetrock for patching, taping, and finishing because it delivers superior bond strength, minimal shrinkage, and a smooth, sandable finish. Trusted on job sites from residential repairs to commercial builds.
USG Joint Compound
Trusted by professional finishers for its exceptional workability and smooth application. USG compounds deliver consistent results, excellent adhesion, and outstanding sandability — essential for achieving Level 5 skim coat finishes and invisible patch repairs.
Mesh Tape & Setting Compounds
Fiberglass mesh tape provides superior crack resistance compared to paper tape, especially on stress-prone areas and corner joints. Our hot-mud setting compounds cure by chemical reaction — not just drying — for rock-hard repairs that won't crack or shrink over time, even in Edmonton's dry winter climate.
During your free damage assessment, we'll explain exactly which materials and repair methods are needed for your specific situation. We never cut corners with cheap filler — every repair uses professional-grade products that last.

Why Edmonton Homes Need Expert Drywall Repairs
Edmonton's extreme continental climate is uniquely punishing on drywall and interior surfaces. Winter temperatures along the North Saskatchewan River valley regularly plunge below −30°C, while forced-air heating systems run six months or more — dropping indoor relative humidity to 15–20%. This constant cycle of expansion and contraction causes drywall seam cracks, nail pops, corner bead separation, and tape failure in homes throughout south Edmonton, west Edmonton, and the surrounding communities.
Newer subdivisions like Windermere, Keswick, Heritage Valley, Summerside, and The Hamptons — built on Edmonton's south-side clay soils near Blackmud Creek and Whitemud Creek — experience significant foundation settling during the first 5–7 years. That settling produces diagonal cracks above door frames, stairwell stress cracks, and tape separation along ceiling joints. A quick spackle job from a handyman cracks again within months because it doesn't address the underlying movement. Our repairs use mesh tape, setting compounds, and multiple coats sanded smooth between applications — building the flexibility needed for Edmonton's dramatic ground movement and temperature swings.
Older character homes in Glenora (near Government House), Highlands (overlooking the river valley trails), Strathcona (along Whyte Avenue), Ritchie, Bonnie Doon, and Oliver often feature original plaster-and-lath walls that require specialized restoration techniques. Mid-century bungalows in Riverbend, Millwoods, and Capilano near Rundle Park frequently need full-wall skim coats after decades of minor patching have created an uneven surface. Post-war homes near Kingsway Avenue and the NAIT campus often have textured ceilings containing asbestos — after professional abatement, our team provides the complete drywall finishing and ceiling texture replacement to restore those rooms.
Because drywall repair is the foundation of any quality paint job, getting it right matters. A flawless topcoat on poorly repaired drywall still looks bad. That's why many Edmonton homeowners trust iPaint to handle both the repair and the interior painting — one team, one standard, seamless results from prep to finish coat. Contact us to schedule your free on-site drywall assessment.

Drywall Repair FAQs
Straight answers to the questions Edmonton homeowners ask most about drywall and surface repair projects.
How much do drywall repairs cost in Edmonton?
Drywall repair costs in Edmonton depend on the size and type of damage. Small patch repairs (nail pops, screw holes, small holes under 4″) typically range from $150–$400. Larger repairs involving big holes, water damage, or extensive cracking range from $400–$1,500. A full room skim coat for a flawless smooth finish runs $800–$2,500. Water damage repairs in areas like basements in Millwoods or upper floors in Heritage Valley typically range from $600–$3,000 depending on extent. We provide detailed written estimates with no hidden fees — request your free estimate.
Can you match my existing wall texture after a drywall repair?
Yes. Texture matching is one of our specialities. Whether your walls have an orange peel texture common in 2000s-era Windermere and Summerside builds, a knockdown finish typical of Terwillegar Towne homes, or the smooth finish found in newer Keswick and Glenridding developments, our certified team replicates the existing texture so the repair blends seamlessly. We use the same application techniques and materials to ensure an invisible repair every time.
Do you repair water-damaged drywall?
Absolutely — once the source of water has been fixed by a licensed plumber. We remove all damaged drywall, inspect for mould, install new drywall where needed, tape, mud, and finish the surface to match your existing walls. Water damage is common in Edmonton homes after spring snowmelt, ice dam leaks, and burst pipes during cold snaps. We handle everything from the drywall repair forward and can also prime and paint the repaired area as part of the same project.
Can you repair plaster walls in older Edmonton homes?
Yes. Many pre-war and mid-century homes in Edmonton neighbourhoods like Highlands, Glenora, Strathcona along Whyte Avenue, Oliver, and Bonnie Doon have original plaster-and-lath walls. We repair cracked, crumbling, and damaged plaster using proper restoration techniques and compatible materials. When plaster is beyond repair, we can overlay with new drywall and finish to match the rest of the room — preserving the character of your home while providing a modern, paintable surface.
Do I need to paint after drywall repairs?
Repaired areas will need to be primed and painted to match the surrounding wall. We leave every repair surface primed and paint-ready with quality primer. Since iPaint is also a full-service interior painting company, we can handle the painting as part of the same project — saving you time, avoiding a second crew in your home, and ensuring a seamless colour match with premium colour-matched paint from repair to finish coat.
