Yes. Many downtown buildings require WSIB clearance and $5M general liability for trade access — we carry both. We coordinate freight-elevator booking, after-hours material delivery, and security card access through your building management.

We match to the closest current Armstrong, USG, or Rockfon product and show you a sample before installing. For multi-decade old systems Armstrong has often discontinued the original SKU — visual difference is honest disclosure, not a surprise after install.

All of Etobicoke proper plus former municipalities: East York, Leaside, Riverdale, Cabbagetown, Beach, Leslieville, Bloor West, Yorkville, Annex, Junction, High Park, Etobicoke, Scarborough, North York, Willowdale, Rexdale, Davisville, Forest Hill, Lawrence Park, and adjacent.

Standalone drop ceiling work usually does not require a permit in Etobicoke. If the install is part of a basement finishing project that also includes new electrical circuits, plumbing relocation, or fire-rated assembly changes, the basement-finish permit covers the ceiling within its scope. Commercial fire-rated assemblies must follow the architect's UL/ULC-listed spec.

Typical 800-1,200 sqft Etobicoke basement install is one full day with a 2-person crew. Commercial offices of 2,000-3,000 sqft are 2-3 days. Tile-only replacement is 25-40 tiles per hour, so a 1,000 sqft tile swap is roughly 5-8 hours.

We quote any drop-ceiling job from a single damaged-tile swap upward. Minimum service call $180 for a single tile replacement; volume pricing kicks in at 25+ tiles or 400+ sqft of new install.

Popcorn ceilings applied before 1990 may contain asbestos fibers. We recommend professional testing before any removal work. If asbestos is found, we follow Ontario Ministry of Labour guidelines for safe removal, containment, and disposal — protecting your family's health throughout the process.

A typical room takes 1–2 days including scraping, skim-coating, sanding, and priming. A full home (4–6 rooms) usually takes 3–5 days. The result is a smooth, modern ceiling that instantly updates the look of your home.

Minor cracking can be repaired with mesh tape and joint compound, followed by skim-coating. Severely damaged plaster ceilings are better replaced with new drywall — this also lets us add modern insulation and address any hidden moisture or structural issues above the ceiling.
