For small, urgent repairs — a move-out inspection, a listing photo shoot, a hole left by a plumber — call first. Availability depends on the schedule, and the size of the damage decides whether one visit is enough.
Drywall compound needs drying time between coats. Small holes and dents can be filled, sanded and made paint-ready in a single visit using fast-setting compound. Larger patches, ceiling repairs and anything involving moisture usually need a return visit for the final coats.
Nail holes, anchor holes, small dents, door-handle holes up to about the size of a fist, and short seam cracks can usually be filled with setting-type compound, sanded and left ready for paint the same day.
Hot, humid weather, thick fills and textured ceilings all slow drying, so the final timing is confirmed on site.

Larger patches that need backing, sections of replaced board, ceiling repairs and water-damaged areas need several coats with full drying time between them. Water damage must also wait until the leak is fixed and the area is dry; closing it up the same day risks trapping moisture.

Call (613) 319-4768 rather than waiting on a form reply, and have photos ready of each repair with something for scale. Tell us your deadline — a move-out inspection or an open house — and whether painting is needed so we can say honestly whether it is achievable.
