Drywall Repair And Installation
Clean Walls, Smooth Finish — Drywall Done Right the First Time
Whether you’re dealing with a hole in drywall from a doorknob, water damage behind a fixture, or walls that need full installation as part of a renovation, getting the finish right matters. Renossance provides professional drywall repair and installation for homeowners across Trent Hills, Campbellford and the surrounding communities.
Drywall repair looks deceptively simple — until the patch is visible under paint or the repaired area sits proud of the rest of the wall. Our team brings the tools, materials and technique to make every repair blend seamlessly: proper joint compound application, careful sanding and a smooth finish that holds up over time. From a single nail hole to a large section of damaged drywall, we handle each job with the same attention to detail.
We work with homeowners across Campbellford, Hastings, Norwood and throughout the Trent Hills region — whether the work is part of a larger renovation or a standalone drywall repair project. Every job is insured and bonded, with straightforward communication from first call to final cleanup.
Why Trent Hills Homeowners Choose Renossance for Drywall Work
Drywall repair and installation sit at the intersection of trades knowledge and finishing skill. A patch that is structurally sound but poorly feathered will show through every coat of paint. Full drywall installation that isn’t properly fastened and taped will crack at the seams. We understand both sides — the structural fundamentals and the finishing execution — and that’s what separates a drywall job that holds from one that doesn’t.
Finish Quality That Blends In
Every drywall patch or new installation is only as good as how well it disappears into the surrounding wall. We apply joint compound in the proper coats, sand smooth between layers and deliver a surface that matches the rest of the wall.
Local Crew, Fast Response
Based in Trent Hills and serving within a 25–30km radius of Campbellford, we’re accessible when you need work done. Local means we understand the typical construction of homes in the area and can respond quickly to your project.
Insured, Accountable, No Surprises
Renossance is fully insured and bonded on all drywall work. You get a clear scope before we start and no hidden charges added mid-job. The same team that quotes the work completes it.
What Professional Drywall Repair Does for Your Home
Damaged drywall does more than look bad — it affects the feel of a room, raises questions for buyers if you’re selling and can conceal issues behind the wall if the damaged area isn’t properly assessed before patching. Professional drywall repair restores the integrity of your walls and ceilings so the room looks the way it’s supposed to.
A properly executed drywall repair or installation also makes painting more effective — there’s no visible patch outline, no texture mismatch, no raised edge. When the wall surface is consistent, everything that goes over it looks better. That outcome comes from doing the prep and compound work correctly, not from rushing to the primer.
Renossance approaches every drywall job — from a screw hole fill to a ceiling patch after a plumbing repair — with the same process: assess the extent of the damage, prepare the surface properly, apply and sand in stages, and leave it ready to paint. Insured and bonded throughout.
What's Included in Our Drywall Repair & Installation Service
Assessment & Scope
We start by examining the damaged area — not just the visible surface but what may be behind the drywall. Water damage, mold, or structural issues need to be identified before any patching begins. We confirm the full extent of the damage and give you a clear picture of what’s involved before any work starts.
Surface Preparation & Material Selection
Depending on the repair type — a small hole, medium holes, or a large section requiring a new piece of drywall — we select the right materials and prep the existing drywall accordingly. Edges of the hole are cleaned up, backing is secured where needed using drywall screws and the surrounding drywall is assessed to ensure the patch will sit flush with the wall.
Patching, Taping & Compound Work
Smaller repairs use mesh patch or self-adhesive repair kits with joint compound applied in controlled coats. Larger holes get a new piece of drywall cut and fitted, then taped with fiberglass mesh tape or paper tape and finished with layers of drywall compound. Each layer of joint compound is allowed to dry fully before the next is applied — this is where shortcuts cause visible failures.
Sanding & Feathering
Once the compound is fully cured, we sand the patched area and blend the edges of the patch into the rest of the wall. This step requires patience — proper feathering is what makes the repair invisible under paint. We work through the grits methodically to achieve a smooth finish across the entire repaired section.
Prime-Ready Finish & Cleanup
The completed repair is left clean, smooth and ready to prime and paint. Any dust and debris from the drywall repair project is cleaned up before we leave. If painting is included in your project scope, we proceed directly to priming the patched area and matching the finish to the rest of the wall.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Your questions answered. Everything you need to know about drywall repair and installation.
What Types Of Drywall Damage Does Renossance Repair?
We handle the full range — from nail holes and screw holes left after furniture removal, to impact damage, water-damaged sections that need to be cut out and replaced, and larger holes from plumbing or electrical rough-in access. We also repair cracked seams, bubbled tape and drywall that has separated from drywall framing. If the damage is on a ceiling, we handle that too — ceiling patches require the same process as wall repairs with extra care around compound application.
Why Does Drywall Joint Compound Need Multiple Coats?
Joint compound shrinks slightly as it dries, so a single thick coat will crack and pull away from the edges of the patch. The correct approach is to apply a base coat, let it cure fully, sand lightly, then apply one or two finish coats — each one wider and thinner than the last to feather the repair into the surrounding drywall. Skipping coats is the most common reason a drywall patch remains visible under paint, and it’s the step most DIY repairs get wrong.
When Does A Drywall Repair Require Replacing The Whole Section vs. Just Patching?
Small holes and isolated damage can typically be patched using a mesh patch or a fitted piece of drywall backed with a wood cleat — no need to replace the full section. Where water damage is involved, however, we assess whether the surrounding drywall has softened or whether mold has spread behind the wall. In those cases, cutting out a larger section of damaged drywall and installing new drywall is the correct call — patching over compromised material will fail again. We make that assessment during the initial scope review.
Do You Handle Drywall Installation For Full Rooms Or Only Repairs?
Both. We handle standalone drywall repairs — patching a hole, fixing a water-damaged section, re-taping a failing seam — and full drywall installation as part of a basement renovation, room addition or post-framing finish. New drywall installation includes hanging sheets using drywall screws, taping all joints with drywall tape, applying joint compound in coats, sanding to a smooth finish and leaving the surface ready to prime. We work alongside our framing and renovation services when the project calls for it.
Can You Match The Existing Wall Texture After A Drywall Repair?
Yes, and it’s a step we take seriously. A smooth patch on a textured wall is just as noticeable as an unpatched hole. We assess the existing texture — whether it’s a simple flat finish, orange peel, knockdown or something else common in older Trent Hills homes — and replicate it before the area is primed and painted. On walls with heavy or irregular texture, we’ll discuss what level of match is realistic so you know what to expect before we start.
