What to know about Ceiling repair
Ceiling repair fixes the damage that ends up overhead: brown rings from a leak, cracks along joints or across a room, fasteners pushing through the paint, patches that don't match the surrounding texture and, most urgently, ceilings that have started to sag. Ceilings suffer differently from walls. Water collects on top of them, gravity works against every loose panel or piece of plaster, and light from windows and fixtures grazes the surface and exposes every flaw.

How to choose drywall contractors in Burlington
- Ask how the painter will prepare the surfaces, since patching, sanding and priming matter as much as the paint.
- Get a written quote that lists which rooms or surfaces are included, the number of coats and who supplies the paint.
- Ask how they'll protect floors, furniture, landscaping and anything they can't move.
- In older homes, ask how they handle old paint that may contain lead.
- Look at recent work, paying attention to clean lines at ceilings and trim.
Questions to ask drywall contractors before you hire
- What prep work is included, such as patching, sanding, caulking and priming?
- How many coats are included, and what paint will you use?
- Are ceilings, trim, doors and closets part of the price?
- How will you protect my floors, furniture and plants?
- Can you show me proof of liability insurance?
- What happens if I notice touch-ups needed after you finish?
Ceiling repair permits in Ontario
Some ceiling repair 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.
Licensing in Ontario
General contracting and renovation
Renovating an existing home generally doesn’t require an HCRA builder licence: HCRA says renovations or upgrades typically don’t make a home “new”. Ontario advises checking references, WSIB coverage and trade certificates before you hire.
