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).
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
Is drywall the same as plastering?
No, drywall and plastering are not the same. Drywall involves using large sheets of gypsum board to create walls and ceilings quickly. Plastering, on the other hand, is a more traditional method where a mixture of sand and cement is applied in layers for a smoother and sturdier finish.
Is drywall a concrete or wood?
Drywall is neither concrete nor wood; it’s a building material made from gypsum plaster. It comes in large sheets that are used to create walls and ceilings. Think of it as a sturdy canvas for paint and decoration, making rooms look clean and finished.
What is the difference between drywall and regular wall?
If you want to know if you have drywall or plaster, try poking the wall with a pushpin. If it goes in easily, it’s drywall. Drywall is softer and more common in modern homes. If the pin doesn’t go in, you’ve got a plaster wall that’s much harder.
Is drywall a plywood?
No, drywall is not plywood. Drywall, used in most modern buildings, is great for any design style and costs around $15 for a 4-by-8-foot sheet. Plywood offers a rustic look but is more expensive, costing between $20 and $50 per sheet.
How do I tell if my wall is plaster or drywall?
To tell if your wall is plaster or drywall, gently tap on it. If it feels solid and sounds dense, it’s likely plaster. Drywall, on the other hand, feels hollow and sounds less solid. You can also check by trying to poke a small hole. Drywall is easier to dent or pierce.
Why do we use drywall?
Drywall is used because it’s affordable, easy to install, and perfect for creating smooth walls and ceilings. It also helps with insulation and soundproofing, making rooms more comfortable and quiet. Plus, if damaged, it’s simple to repair, which saves time and money.
What are the dangers of installing drywall?
Installing drywall can pose several dangers, such as inhaling harmful dust, risk of injury from heavy lifting, and potential exposure to mold if it’s damp. Always use protective gear, like masks and gloves, and ensure proper ventilation to minimize these risks.
Does drywall break easily?
Drywall is a sturdy building material, but it can break or get damaged over time, even with good care. While it’s lightweight and easy to handle, it’s important to treat it gently during installation and everyday use to keep it looking its best for years to come.
Is drywall harmful to humans?
Drywall can be harmful if you’re not careful. Cutting it and sanding the dried joint compound creates dust that may irritate your lungs, leading to coughing and breathing issues. If the drywall has silica, long-term exposure could lead to serious health problems like cancer or lung diseases. Always wear a mask when working with drywall!
Is drywall soundproof?
Is drywall soundproof? Not entirely, but it can help reduce noise! Regular drywall isn’t the best at blocking sound, but using thicker sheets, like 5/8-inch instead of the standard 1/2-inch, or adding a double layer, can make a big difference. So, if you’re looking for better sound resistance, this is a great option!
Can you paint over drywall?
Absolutely, you can paint over drywall! Just remember to prime it first. Priming helps the paint adhere better and protects it from temperature changes. Before you apply primer, make sure to clean the drywall by sanding it, vacuuming off the dust, and wiping it down with a damp cloth. This ensures a smooth finish and great results!
Which is better, drywall or paneling?
When choosing between drywall and paneling, it really depends on your needs. Drywall is popular for its affordability, but it might not hold up over time. If you’re looking for a long-lasting solution, vinyl wall paneling is a great choice—even though the price can vary based on quality. It’s worth considering your investment!
What damages drywall?
Drywall can be damaged by water leaks, impacts from furniture, or even pests like termites. Heavy moisture can cause it to sag or develop mold. To prevent damage, always fix leaks promptly and handle furniture carefully when moving it. Regular inspections can help catch problems early!
Is drywall difficult to install?
Installing drywall can be challenging for beginners, but with the right tools and a little practice, it’s definitely manageable! It requires some basic skills like measuring and cutting, but many find it rewarding. Taking your time and following guidelines will help you achieve a smooth finish. Don’t hesitate to ask for help if you need it!
