Drywall & Interior Finishing in Peterborough
Peterborough homes include older brick homes, established neighbourhoods and newer subdivisions, and we frame, drywall and finish everything from a single bedroom to an open-concept main floor across Downtown, East City and Ashburnham.
Our Peterborough drywall and finishing crews frame, hang, tape and finish to a paint-ready standard, handle trim and doors, and keep dust contained with daily clean-up. If a wall coming out is load-bearing, we plan the beam and the permit before anything is cut.

What drywall & interior finishing involves in Peterborough's houses
Century and heritage homes in Peterborough
Older Peterborough homes have plaster and lath walls that crack and bulge over time. We repair plaster where it is sound and replace it with drywall where it is not, test for asbestos in plaster and textured finishes before cutting, and add fire blocking in balloon-framed walls when they are opened.
Post-war bungalows and back-splits in Peterborough
Post-war Peterborough houses often have plaster or early gypsum lath. Open-concept conversions are the most common project, and patching the ceiling and floor where a wall came out so the room reads as one space is where careful finishing shows.
1970s to 1990s family homes in Peterborough
Peterborough homes from the 1970s to the 1990s often have stippled or popcorn ceilings and textured walls. Removing or skim-coating them to a smooth finish, after testing older textures for asbestos, is a common part of updating these houses.
Rules in Peterborough
Permits and approvals for drywall & interior finishing in Peterborough
Building permits
Building permits in Peterborough are issued by the City of Peterborough. Electrical work anywhere in Ontario is done by a licensed electrical contractor under an Electrical Safety Authority (ESA) permit. We confirm what your project needs before you sign and book every inspection.
Testing before demolition
Homes built before the 1990s can contain asbestos in plaster, textured ceilings, floor tile, vermiculite insulation and pipe wrap, and homes from before the 1960s often have lead paint. In Peterborough's older houses we test suspect materials before demolition and handle them by the regulations if they are found.
The service
Framing, Drywall and Finishing Done Cleanly
Drywall and interior finishing are the parts of a renovation everyone notices. Straight walls, flat ceilings, crisp corners and invisible seams make a room look finished; wavy walls and visible joints make even expensive finishes look tired.
We frame new walls and rooms, hang and finish drywall, repair damaged walls and ceilings, and handle trim, doors and paint. That includes open-concept conversions, where a wall comes out and the ceiling and floor need to be patched so no one can tell it was ever there.

Questions
Drywall & Interior Finishing in Peterborough: FAQs
How do I get a drywall & interior finishing quote in Peterborough?+
Call (647) 424-1511, use the form on this page or email info@ontariorenovationcompany.com. Tell us what you want to change and send a few photos, and we will book a visit and send a written quote for your Peterborough project.
What kinds of Peterborough homes do you work on?+
All of them. Housing in Peterborough includes century and heritage homes, post-war bungalows and back-splits and 1970s to 1990s family homes, and each comes with its own considerations, from older wiring and foundations to builder warranties, septic systems and shoreline rules. We plan the work around the house you actually have.
Can you repair drywall instead of replacing it?+
Usually. Holes, cracks, water stains and nail pops can be repaired and blended so the patch disappears once painted. Large water-damaged areas are replaced after the source of the water is fixed.
How do I know if a wall is load-bearing?+
It depends on the framing, the joists above and what the wall supports. We check during the visit. A load-bearing wall can still come out, but it needs a beam, proper support and a building permit.
Do you do the painting too?+
Yes. Finishing and painting are part of our interior work, so the walls are primed and painted after the drywall is finished, without a second contractor.
Do you offer drywall & interior finishing across Peterborough?+
Yes. We work throughout Peterborough, including Downtown, East City, Ashburnham, Westmount, Kawartha Heights, Northcrest and Otonabee, and in nearby Lindsay, Port Hope, Cobourg, Newcastle and Bowmanville.
