Ceiling repair in Aspen Gardens, Bearspaw, Blue Quill that disappears into the room

Duggan drywall in context

About Duggan

Duggan (a pioneer citizen and former mayor of Edmonton's early rival, the City of Strathcona), Duggan reflects the popular design elements of the 1960s.

What we see in Duggan

In Duggan the drywall work is plaster and lath repair, popcorn and stipple ceiling removal, careful patching into original surfaces. We confirm what your home actually needs on site, in writing, before anything starts.

Nail pops and fastener rows

The dotted line effect

A row of small circular bumps on an Duggan ceiling is fasteners backing out as the framing dries and moves.

Doing it properly

The popped fastener is removed or driven below the surface, a new screw set nearby into solid framing, then both filled in coats. Filling over a proud nail without re-fixing means the same dots return within a year.

Matching ceiling texture in Duggan

The textures we match

Our Duggan ceiling repair process in Edmonton, step by step

We repair causes, not symptoms

Any Aspen Gardens, Bearspaw, Blue Quill crack that reappears was patched, not repaired. In Aspen Gardens, Bearspaw, Blue Quill homes we identify whether a ceiling crack is settling, structural or a failed patch, and address the cause before we finish the surface. Water stains are sealed with a stain-blocking primer so they do not bleed back through your paint.

Repair, re-board and texture-match

We bridge cracks so they do not telegraph back, re-secure or re-board sagging sections, then match the surrounding texture — stipple ceilings and the occasional skim-over of dated texture — and check the ceiling under raking light before we call it done.
