Drywall Repair in Old Strathcona, Edmonton
A hole in the wall, a cracked ceiling or a whole basement to board, Tabmatch sends your drywall request to approved local specialists and shows you who can take it.
Old Strathcona is the historic heart of the south side, centred on Whyte Avenue's shops, theatres and the farmers' market.
Drywall for homes in Old Strathcona
Homes include heritage houses from the early 1900s, walk-ups and newer condos near the avenue.
Older homes are usually lath and plaster, which cracks as the house settles. Repairs need a different approach than drywall, and some owners skim-coat or re-board whole rooms.
Houses near the valley edge can settle more, so cracks that keep coming back are worth having looked at.
Boarding the inside of a detached garage makes it easier to heat and keeps dust down.
Walls and ceilings between a basement suite and the main house need fire-rated drywall.
