Drywall and Painting in Markham, ON

Markham's building code compliance and rental property obligations shape every drywall and painting project. Properties governed by the Residential Tenancies Act 2006 must meet repair timelines when tenants report defects, and landlords rely on documented scope-of-work records to satisfy Landlord and Tenant Board orders. The city's newer construction stock uses lightweight drywall and factory-primed trim that require different prep methods than older plaster walls found in Markham Village. Ice damming along rooflines forces water behind stucco and siding, creating interior drywall damage that shows up as brown staining and soft spots below windows. Freeze-thaw movement also cracks exterior paint on aluminum siding and wood trim. Cathedraltown and Berczy Village properties often need repainting on north-facing walls where moisture lingers longer. We document every repair stage and provide written reports suitable for regulatory review or tenant disclosure.

Our drywall and painting service starts with moisture testing and substrate inspection to confirm the surface is dry and structurally sound. We remove damaged drywall sections, frame backing where studs are compromised by water exposure, and install new gypsum board cut to match existing thickness. Texture matching uses spray, hand, or roller techniques to replicate knockdown, orange peel, or smooth finishes common in Unionville executive homes. We prime all patches with stain-blocking primer to prevent bleed-through, then apply two coats of finish paint matched by spectrophotometer to existing wall color. Exterior work includes scraping loose paint, caulking trim joints, priming bare wood or fiber-cement, and applying acrylic latex topcoats rated for Canadian weather. We address common Markham failure modes including drywall corner bead separation from foundation settlement, nail pops in truss uplift zones, and efflorescence staining on basement walls. Each project includes a written summary, photos, and material data sheets. We serve residential landlords, condominium corporations, and property managers across Markham and the broader GTA.
