1970s and 1980s Bungalows and Side Splits
Much of Amherstview was built in the 1970s and 1980s, and those homes almost all have stipple ceilings. Many now show settling cracks over door headers and original tape joints starting to ridge.

Drywall Installation and Repair in Amherstview, Ontario
Kingston Drywall Pros repairs and installs drywall in Amherstview homes every month. We work for homeowners, landlords and builders across the community, from original bungalows near the lake to newer builds on its edge.
Amherstview is the largest community in Loyalist Township and sits about 15 minutes west of our Kingston base along Bath Road and the Loyalist Parkway. That short drive makes even a single-room repair practical here.
Most of the houses here were built in the same few decades, so we see the same problems over and over: stipple ceilings, ridging tape joints and unfinished basements.

Local rules
Who Issues Building Permits in Amherstview?
Amherstview is part of Loyalist Township, so building permits come from the township's building department at the municipal office in Odessa, not from the City of Kingston. Basement finishes, new walls and garage conversions generally need one.
The township inspects framing and then insulation and vapour barrier before board goes on. We schedule around those inspections so nothing gets closed in early.
Housing
The Two Kinds of Amherstview House We Work In
Amherstview housing splits into two eras, and each produces a different kind of drywall work.
Newer Builds on the Edge of the Community
Newer homes bring nail pops in years two and three as framing dries, and many come with unfinished basements. We fix the pops properly and board those basements when owners are ready.

Drywall Services Amherstview Homeowners Ask For Most
Four services make up most of our Amherstview work.
Stipple Ceiling Removal
The volume job in this housing stock. Ceilings from before 1990 are tested first, then scraped and skimmed smooth.
Basement Finishing
Framing, insulation, board and finish for basements the builder left unfinished.
Patching and Nail Pops
Nail pops re-fastened, cracks reinforced and holes patched so they vanish under paint.
Garage Fire Separation
Many Amherstview homes have attached garages. We board the shared wall and ceiling gas-tight with 5/8 in. Type X.
Local conditions
How the Lakeshore Affects Amherstview Drywall
Homes near the Lake Ontario shoreline see higher humidity in summer and strong wind off the water in winter. That swing is why cracks over doors and windows reopen in Amherstview every spring.
We repair those cracks with paper tape in setting compound rather than caulk, and use moisture resistant board in basements, where the cool foundation and lake air meet.
