Service
Drywall repair that looks finished—not patched.
Acutera repairs holes, cracks, cut-outs and damaged drywall in homes, condos and commercial spaces across Metro Vancouver. We handle the practical work around the repair—protection, backing, board, tape, finishing, texture where required, primer and painting—so you are not left coordinating separate trades.
What we repair / build
- Doorknob and impact holes
- Plumber, electrician and HVAC openings
- Flood cuts and water-loss openings after drying
- Cracks, damaged corners and failed previous patches
- Wall and ceiling repairs around renovations
- Large irregular or scattered patch programs
Our process
- 1Describe or show the damage
Upload photos or tell us what happened. We confirm whether a repair-only scope or repair-through-paint makes sense.
- 2Protect the space
We cover floors and nearby finishes and set dust control appropriate to the occupied space.
- 3Repair and finish
Backing, board, tape and finishing coats as needed, with texture where the surrounding surface requires it.
- 4Prime and paint when included
Primer and paint at the repair or across the agreed plane so the finish is usable—not left as raw compound.
Limitations and safety
- Texture and paint matching are closest-practical, not guaranteed identical under every light.
- Concealed framing, moisture or failed previous work may expand scope once opened.
- If hazardous materials are suspected, work pauses and we coordinate testing or refer to a qualified specialist before continuing.
- We do not replace unrelated trades (plumbing, electrical, roofing); we restore the drywall after those trades are complete.
What changes the price

Answers before you book
FAQs
Can you repair and paint in the same project?
Yes. Many repairs are scoped through primer and paint so you are not left finding a separate painter. Spot painting is used when it will blend; we recommend a full wall or ceiling plane when flashing would show.
Will the patch be invisible?
We aim for a clean, paint-ready finish and the closest practical blend with the surrounding surface. Lighting, texture age and prior paint layers affect how a repair reads—we set honest expectations before work starts rather than promising a perfect match.
How many visits will the repair take?
Small repairs can finish in one visit when drying time allows. Larger or multi-coat finishing, texture and paint often need staged visits. We confirm the likely sequence after we see photos or visit the site.
Can you fix holes left by a plumber or electrician?
Yes. Trade cut-outs are a common repair type. We close the opening with proper backing when needed, finish the drywall and can carry the work through paint so the wall or ceiling reads as one surface again.
Do you repair both walls and ceilings?
Yes. Wall and ceiling repairs are both in scope, including work around renovations and scattered patch programs. Ceiling height, texture and access change the approach—we explain that up front.
Do you guarantee the repair forever?
One-year limited workmanship warranty.
