How long does the drywall part take?

Longer than people expect, because it cannot start until the plumbing is signed off and compound cannot be rushed. Board, coats with drying between, sand, prime, paint. Anyone promising all of it in two days is quoting a schedule they will not keep.

How many wall and ceiling openings does a full poly-B re-pipe leave in a Kensington home?

In Kensington it comes down to the house layout and where the plumber ran the replacement lines. A typical full re-pipe in a Edmonton-area home leaves 15 to 40 cut-outs. Every Kensington opening is counted at the assessment and rolled into a single fixed price and invoice.

How many wall and ceiling openings does a full poly-B re-pipe leave in an Kensington home?

The Kensington scope varies with the floor plan and the plumber’s new line routing. A typical full re-pipe in a Edmonton-area home leaves 15 to 40 cut-outs. The Kensington assessment tallies each opening and sets a single fixed price — one invoice for the whole repipe patch.

What about the insulation the plumber disturbed?

Batts get refitted and the vapour barrier repaired and sealed before board goes back on. Boarding over a torn barrier hides a problem inside the wall that nobody sees until it stains the finish.

We follow the plumber, we are not the plumber

Clear lanes

Your plumber opens what they need to reach the lines and does the repipe. We close it back up and make the Kensington room look as though nothing happened.

Why saying so helps

Homeowners are often quoted a repipe with the drywall left as an open question. Knowing who owns the closing-up, and what it costs, before the walls are opened is what keeps the project from stalling half finished.

About Kensington

Kensington was annexed to the City in 1913 during a real estate boom but most development didn't occur until the 1950s.

What affects the cost of poly-B re-pipe drywall repair in Kensington?

How many cut-outs and which textures in Kensington homes

The cost of poly-B re-pipe drywall repair in an Kensington home is driven by how many cut-outs the plumber left, whether they are in walls or ceilings (ceilings require more setup), and how many different textures need to be matched throughout the home. The Kensington on-site assessment prices the whole job — every cut-out — on one fixed number. In Kensington homes with higher poly-B density, a full re-pipe can leave 15 to 40 cut-outs across multiple rooms, closets and utility spaces.

Coordinating the drywall work with your plumber in Kensington

Re-pipe jobs in Kensington go smoothest when the drywall work follows the plumbing directly. We coordinate with the plumber and schedule to follow inspections — your Kensington home is not sitting with open walls any longer than necessary. If an Kensington repipe is coming, ring us before the plumber begins and we set the patch-back schedule from day one.

Ceilings after an overhead repipe

The harder half

Ceiling access strips run long and land in the worst possible light, so a ceiling repair shows up far more readily than the same work on a wall.

How we handle it

Butt joints backed and floated wide, the texture matched if there is one, and the Kensington ceiling primed and painted in full spans rather than patched, because a ceiling almost never hides a spot repaint.
