Will the new wall line up with the old one?

Not automatically. Old plaster is often thicker than modern board, so new work butted to it leaves a step. We either fur the new work out to match or feather the transition wide — knowing which before starting is what keeps it looking deliberate.

What happens if you find something behind the wall?

We stop, photograph it and price the options. The wall is open and that is the cheapest it will ever be to deal with. We will not close something up quietly because it is inconvenient.

Should the new work be a higher finish level than the old?

Usually not. A Level 5 wall beside an aged textured wall can look odd rather than better. We match the finish to the room as a whole unless the whole room is being redone.

Can you blend new drywall into my existing Ekota walls?

Yes — that is the key to a clean Bisset, Crawford Plains, Daly Grove reno. We feather and texture-match so the new work is seamless with the existing Bisset, Crawford Plains, Daly Grove wall once painted.

In Ekota we handle the reno drywall and finish it so the new work blends seamlessly into the existing walls and ceilings. Ekota is an older Mill Woods and Meadows community where settling cracks, aging texture and the occasional plaster repair come up, so renovation drywall here is steady. We cover Ekota, Bisset, Crawford Plains, Daly Grove and Mill Woods and Meadows, 7 days a week.

About Ekota

Matching existing texture across a join

The join is where it shows

New flat board meeting a textured Ekota wall gives away the renovation instantly, however good the taping.

The approach

Match and carry the texture across the new work and feather it well past the join. Where the existing texture is too irregular, re-texturing the whole wall to a natural break usually looks better than fighting the match.

Our Ekota renovation drywall process in Edmonton, step by step

Board, patch and tie in

In Ekota we board new framing and openings, patch where walls came out or fixtures moved, then tape, coat and tie the new work into the old.

Texture-match and finish

We feather joints well past the seam and reproduce the existing texture so a new opening or a closed-up wall looks like it was always there. Protection for finished work, contained dust and trade coordination keep Ekota renos on schedule.

Renovation levels of finish

Matching what is there

Putting a Level 5 wall next to an aged textured Ekota wall can look odd rather than better, because the two surfaces read differently.

What we recommend

Match the finish to the room as a whole rather than to the newest part of it. Where the whole room is being redone, that constraint disappears and the finish level becomes a free choice.

Patching into a ceiling mid-renovation

Harder than a wall

A new section of Ekota ceiling meeting an old one shows at the join under the room's own light, and old ceilings have usually yellowed.

Practical answer

Where the ceiling is textured, matching and blending can work. Where it is flat and aged, skimming and repainting the whole ceiling is usually the only way the repair genuinely disappears.
