Lath and Plaster Repair, Drywall Replacement, Staircase Painting
Riverdale
Project Overview:
Peter’s home in Riverdale had a serious issue with one of its walls. The existing lath and plaster structure was bowing out, weak, and filled with cracks. This not only affected the visual appeal of the space but also raised concerns about the wall’s durability.
The repair required a delicate approach to ensure stability while maintaining a seamless finish. Additionally, the paint needed to be matched exactly to blend in with the existing walls.

Scope of Work:
Determined to bring his wall back to life, Peter turned to Home Painters Toronto. We took a step-by-step approach to restore the wall efficiently and effectively:
Step 1: Careful Assessment and Demolition
The team conducted a thorough assessment and determined that a 6-foot by 6-foot section of the wall was beyond repair. We carefully removed the damaged portion, ensuring minimal disruption to the surrounding area. Precision was key—this wasn’t just about removing old material, but about setting the stage for a seamless restoration.
Step 2: Rebuilding with Drywall and Plaster
With the damaged section removed, new drywall was installed and securely fastened. The team then applied multiple coats of plaster, expertly blending the new surface with the existing wall. Every step was executed with care to ensure a smooth and flawless finish.
Step 3: The Perfect Paint Match
Once the plaster had set, it was time for priming and painting. Finding the exact colour match to blend the new wall with the rest of the room was a challenge, but Home Painters Toronto was up for it. By working with Sherwin-Williams and using a precise paint chip analysis, we achieved a perfect colour match, making the repaired section completely indistinguishable from the original wall.
Additional Work
Peter was so impressed with the team’s efficiency and quality of work that he decided to add another service—his staircase needed painting as well. The team quickly accommodated this request, providing a professional and polished look for the staircase.
