What to know about Minor drywall repair
Minor drywall repair is the small end of wall work: the hole a door handle punched behind a door, dents from moving furniture, anchor holes left when a TV or shelf comes down, a few nail pops, a hairline crack along an outside corner, or a faded water mark on the ceiling. None of it is structural and most of it fits into one visit, but every patch has to vanish under paint, or it becomes a new eyesore.

Our British Columbia guide has no rule written for this trade, so there is none below. That is not the same as nothing applying: ask for proof of insurance, and for anything that touches gas, wiring or drains, ask who is certified to do it.

How to choose handymen in Victoria
- Describe all the small jobs up front so the handyman can bring the right tools and give you a realistic estimate.
- Ask whether they charge by the hour, by the job or with a minimum visit fee.
- For anything involving wiring, gas or new plumbing, use a licensed trade instead of a general handyman.
- Check that they carry liability insurance, especially for work on ladders or on the exterior.
- Ask whether they supply materials or whether you should buy them ahead of time.
Questions to ask handymen before you hire
- Do you charge by the hour or by the job, and is there a minimum?
- Can you do all of the jobs on my list, or will some need a licensed trade?
- Will you bring the materials, or should I buy them?
- Are you insured if something is damaged while you're working?
- How do you handle it if a job takes longer than expected?
Drywall patch permits in Victoria
Some drywall patch work needs a permit or has to meet local bylaws. Rules vary by municipality, so ask your pro whether a permit is needed and who will apply for it — and check with your city or town if you’re unsure.
