Ritchie drywall in context

About Ritchie

Ritchie is a residential neighbourhood in south east Edmonton, developed during the immediate post-war period.

What we see in Ritchie

In Ritchie 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.

Dust control in an occupied renovation

The family is still there

Most Ritchie renovation drywall happens around people living in the house. Containment goes up before anything opens, not after the first mess.

What we commit to

Sealed openings, covered furnace returns, protected routes and a tidy site at the end of each day. And an honest statement of which days the space is unusable rather than an optimistic one.

Deciding where to stop

Natural breaks

A renovation that stops in the middle of a wall will always show. Doorways, internal corners, beams and changes of level are where a new surface can end invisibly.

Why we raise it early

Extending to the next corner is often a small addition to the scope and the difference between a room that looks renovated and one that looks repaired. It is a decision, not an upsell — we just want it made deliberately.

Surprises behind the old wall

What renovations reveal

Opening an older Ritchie wall turns up old wiring, redundant plumbing, missing insulation, and occasionally structure that is not what the drawings suggest.

How we handle it

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

Patching into a ceiling mid-renovation

Harder than a wall

A new section of Ritchie 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.

Matching existing texture across a join

The join is where it shows

New flat board meeting a textured Ritchie 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.
