What changes the price of taping in Burlington
- Level of finish - a smooth, paint-ready 'Level 5' finish takes far more mudding and sanding than a basic taped finish that will be textured or hidden, and costs more per square foot.
- Repair size and whether the whole sheet must go - a coin-sized hole is cheap, but a soaked or badly cracked panel means removing, replacing, taping, sanding, and blending an entire sheet.
- Drywall type - moisture-resistant board for bathrooms, fire-rated board, mould-resistant, or soundproof (double-layer) drywall all cost more per sheet than standard 1/2-inch.
- Texture and paint matching - matching existing popcorn, knockdown, or orange-peel texture and then priming/painting is real added labour homeowners routinely forget to budget.
- Minimum service-call / small-job premium - most pros charge a shop minimum (roughly $100-$300 in big cities), so one small patch costs far more per square foot than a full-room job with $75-$115/hr labour.
- Ceiling height and access - 9-10 ft ceilings, stairwells, and vaulted or cathedral areas need lifts or scaffolding and add roughly 20-40% to the labour.

How much does it cost to drywall a single room in Canada?
For an average 12x12 bedroom, budget roughly $600 to $2,000 to hang and finish the walls (and usually the ceiling), with most jobs landing around $1,000 to $1,500. Ceiling height, the number of corners, and how smooth a finish you want move you within that range.
Why did a tiny drywall patch cost me over $200?
Almost every contractor has a minimum charge just to show up, and even a 'quick' patch still needs taping, two or three coats of mud with drying time between each, sanding, and then texture and paint matching - often across two visits. You're paying for that labour, not the $15 of materials.
Is plaster repair more expensive than drywall repair?
Usually yes. Plaster, common in older Canadian homes, is more labour-intensive to match and repair, so it runs higher per square foot than modern drywall. A minor hairline crack is inexpensive, but larger plaster cracks or ceiling work climb quickly.
