Small & Medium Renovations in Timmins – Finish-Trade Done Right

Paint Rarely Stops at Paint

Almost every renovation we take on starts the same way: a homeowner, landlord or property manager calls about painting, and once we are on-site we find something deeper. Water damage behind a peeling wall. Rotten framing at the base of a window. A soft spot in the subfloor under the flooring. A ceiling that has been patched three times and will never look right without proper drywall replacement.

Most painters stop at the surface, quote around the problem, or tell the client to call someone else. We do not. We treat small and medium renovations as a natural extension of finish work – because the honest answer to "can you paint this?" is often "yes, after we fix what is underneath."

As a Timmins contractor that grew out of finishing trades, we handle the full chain: open the wall or ceiling, remove the damaged material, repair insulation and framing where needed, install new drywall and trim, and finish with paint. You get one crew, one estimate, one point of contact – instead of chasing three separate trades and hoping they line up.

Common Renovation Work We Handle

Water-damaged insulation replacement
Walls or ceilings opened after a leak, overflow or burst pipe. Wet insulation is removed and replaced with new batts or blown-in, then the cavity is closed with new drywall, taped, mudded, primed and painted.

Framing repair after water damage, rot or impact
Studs, sill plates or joists that have been compromised by long-term moisture, hidden leaks, or physical damage. We assess the affected area, reinforce or replace members as needed, and rebuild the wall or ceiling assembly properly.

Subfloor and floor repair
Soft spots, squeaky floors, rot around a toilet flange or under a washing machine, damaged plywood sections, broken transitions between rooms. We replace the compromised subfloor pieces and make the surface ready for new flooring or restore existing flooring where possible.

Full drywall replacement and finishing
When patching no longer makes sense – sections that are too damaged, ceilings that are sagging, walls that have been repaired too many times – we remove and replace the drywall fully, tape to Level 4 or 5 smoothness, and prime.

Ceiling restoration after major damage
Full-ceiling failure after a major leak or long-term moisture. Remove, replace, tape, finish and paint. Detailed in our ceiling repair service.

Trim, baseboard and door replacement
Renovations that touch floors or walls usually also touch trim. We pull old baseboard and casing, install new, caulk, fill nail holes, prime and paint. For whole-unit renovations this is often a substantial part of the work.

Paint as the final layer
Once repairs are complete, priming and painting close out the renovation. Because one crew does both the repair and the paint, nothing looks patched.

Our Renovation Process

1. On-site assessment. We come out, look at the actual condition of the wall, ceiling, floor or room, and identify what is cosmetic vs. structural. If we find something outside our scope, we say so on the spot.

2. Written scope and estimate. Itemized, in writing, with clear notes on what is included, what requires another trade, and any permit flags. No surprise line items.

3. Protection and containment. Floors, furniture and adjacent rooms covered before any demolition or sanding begins.

4. Repair and rebuild. Open what needs to be opened, remove what is damaged, repair or replace insulation, framing and subfloor as scoped, install new drywall, trim and doors.

5. Finish. Primer, paint, stain or sealer as appropriate. The final layer that ties the room together.

6. Clean-up and walk-through. Plastic down, floors vacuumed, walk-through with the client. No leftover mess, no loose ends.
