About Our Toronto Ceiling Repair Team
We are a local, specialized crew focused exclusively on ceilings, combining restoration expertise, modern finishing standards, and respectful service. From emergency leaks to popcorn removal, we deliver durable, beautiful results with clear communication, tidy sites, proper insurance, and dependable scheduling across Toronto and the greater GTA.
Emergency Ceiling Water Damage Repair
When burst pipes, roof leaks, or upstairs plumbing failures soak your ceiling, our Toronto rapid‑response team arrives quickly, isolates hazards, records moisture readings, stabilizes the structure, coordinates drying, and prepares your home for a precise, lasting restoration that minimizes demolition and prevents mold or finish failures.
- Leak Containment and Moisture Mapping We immediately shut off sources, protect furnishings, and create containment to control spread. Using pin and pinless meters plus thermal imaging, we map hidden moisture in joists and drywall, guiding targeted drying and ensuring no damp pockets remain to compromise future joint compounds, primers, or topcoats.
- Structural Drying and Dehumidification Commercial air movers and low‑grain dehumidifiers accelerate evaporation while maintaining safe temperatures and dew points. We monitor daily, adjust equipment layout, and document recovery curves to confirm framing, drywall cores, and joint compounds reach acceptable moisture levels before any patching, skim coating, or painting proceeds.
- Seamless Patching, Priming, and Color Match Once dry, we remove delaminated gypsum, install backing, and tape with fiberglass or paper before feathered coats reach Level 4 or 5. Stain‑blocking primers lock tannins and rust, and precise color matching blends repaired areas invisibly, restoring a uniform ceiling under harsh grazing and daylight conditions.
Drywall and Plaster Ceiling Restoration
From hairline cracks to sagging seams, our specialists restore drywall and traditional plaster ceilings using proven substrates, adhesives, and compounds, delivering flat, durable surfaces ready for paint while maintaining architectural character, minimizing disruption, and achieving smooth results that hold up under Toronto’s demanding condo and loft lighting.
Popcorn Ceiling Removal and Modern Finishes
We safely remove dated popcorn texture, test suspect materials where required, and capture dust with HEPA filtration, then prepare, prime, and finish ceilings to contemporary smooth or subtle knockdown looks, brightening spaces, increasing resale value, and eliminating shadowing common with coarse acoustic textures throughout Toronto homes and condos.
Safety‑First Texture Testing and Containment
Before disturbance, we can coordinate lab testing for older textures, then erect poly barriers, negative air, and zipper doors. Floors and fixtures are fully protected, and controlled wet scraping reduces airborne dust, ensuring a cleaner, safer environment for families, pets, electronics, and sensitive finishes during removal.
Premium Smooth or Knockdown Options
After removal, we inspect for imperfections, skim coat as needed, and sand under dust control. Choose mirror‑smooth finishes for modern minimalism or light knockdown for subtle texture, each delivered with consistent sheen and shadow‑free surfaces under raking light, directional lighting, and bright natural daylight.
Priming and Low‑VOC Painting
We apply high‑adhesion primers to seal repaired gypsum and improve uniformity, followed by low‑VOC topcoats suitable for condos and sensitive occupants. Fine‑tip spraying or careful rolling ensures even coverage, crisp transitions, and long‑term washability without yellowing, flashing, or premature burnishing in busy rooms.

Ceiling Painting and Stain Blocking
Ceiling coatings demand meticulous prep, correct primers, and practiced application techniques. Our painters address nicotine, water, and rust stains, correct sheen variations, and deliver uniform color and texture that hold up under strong daylight and grazing light common in Toronto corridors, lofts, and open‑concept living spaces.
Odorless Stain‑Blocking Primers
We use advanced shellac alternatives and waterborne blockers to seal stubborn stains while keeping odors minimal for occupied homes. These primers lock in tannins and residues, preventing bleed‑through and allowing faster return to service without sacrificing adhesion, coverage, durability, or long‑term stain resistance.
Airless Spraying and Fine Rolling
Depending on access and ventilation, we use fine‑finish tips and back‑rolling to achieve tight, consistent film build. This hybrid method levels roller texture, reduces lap marks, and ensures coverage over repaired joints, delivering crisp, uniform ceilings that read flat from every angle and lighting condition.
Color and Sheen Consultation
Small changes in sheen dramatically influence perceived flatness. We help select ceiling whites and matte finishes that manage reflections, coordinate with wall colors, and complement lighting, ensuring the final look hides minor imperfections while enhancing brightness, depth, and architectural features throughout your rooms and hallways.
Photo Reports and Moisture Logs
Our documentation includes timestamped images, meter readings, and drying records that substantiate cause and scope. Insurers appreciate clear evidence, and homeowners benefit from transparency, reducing disputes and ensuring approvals align with actual conditions discovered during inspection, mitigation, and subsequent restoration planning.

Low‑Dust Methods for Occupied Suites
We combine extraction sanding, negative air, and sealed containment to keep dust from migrating through suites. Daily cleanup and HEPA vacuuming maintain livability, allowing many projects to proceed without relocation while safeguarding finishes, electronics, and HVAC systems from harmful particulate contamination.
Mold and Air Quality Considerations
Ceiling leaks can promote mold growth if drying is delayed. We recognize warning signs, isolate affected zones, and collaborate with licensed remediators when necessary, ensuring safe protocols are followed before cosmetic repairs, protecting your family’s health and the durability of finished surfaces over time.

After repairs, we recommend ventilation routines, humidity control, and maintenance tips to prevent recurrence. Proper bathroom fan use, targeted dehumidification, and vigilant leak detection keep ceilings sound, reducing future risks and protecting your investment in high‑quality repair, priming, and painting.
Soundproofing and Insulation Upgrades
Ceiling projects create opportunities to improve comfort. We can add mineral wool, resilient channels, and isolation clips during repairs, reducing footfall noise and enhancing energy performance while meeting fire and building code requirements common across Toronto multi‑family structures and older single‑family homes.
Resilient Channel and Clip Systems
We decouple drywall from framing using tested assemblies that reduce vibration transfer. Proper fastener spacing, perimeter breaks, and acoustical sealants ensure results align with manufacturer data, improving privacy between floors while maintaining a flat ceiling ready for premium finishes and high‑quality paint.
Mineral Wool and Air Sealing
Dense mineral wool improves sound absorption and thermal stability. Combined with strategic air sealing around penetrations and fixtures, ceilings gain comfort, energy savings, and quieter rooms. We integrate these upgrades seamlessly during repairs to control costs and maximize long‑term performance benefits.
Fire‑Rated Assemblies and Code
Where code requires, we install fire‑rated boards, joint treatments, and penetrant firestopping. Coordination with inspectors and property managers ensures documentation is complete, and finished ceilings meet safety expectations without delaying occupancy or compromising aesthetics and durable, washable paint performance.
