Cottage and Seasonal Property Renovations
We schedule renovations for when the cottage is empty, handle key handoffs with absent owners and keep you updated with photos.
Kingston Drywall installs and repairs drywall in Gananoque, the Thousand Islands and the villages along the St. Lawrence. We work for year-round homeowners, cottage owners, short-term rental hosts and local businesses.
Gananoque is about 30 minutes east of our Kingston base on Highway 401. Our crew has more than 20 years of drywall and plaster experience, including plenty of seasonal and waterfront properties.
We are licensed, insured and WSIB covered. For absent owners, we can coordinate access and send photo updates so you do not need to be on site.
Properties on the river face conditions a Kingston subdivision never sees. Humidity swings off the water, long unheated shoulder seasons and freeze-thaw cycles all put stress on drywall.
An unheated cottage expands and contracts all winter, which is why taped joints crack and nail pops appear by spring. Many owners find new damage on their first spring visit.
We use mould resistant board in damp areas, set-type compounds that hold up to movement, and fastening schedules that keep board tight through the seasons.
We schedule renovations for when the cottage is empty, handle key handoffs with absent owners and keep you updated with photos.
Insulation, vapour barrier and drywall as one package, so the cottage is warm and inspection ready. See insulation and drywall.
Ice dams and roof leaks after a Thousand Islands winter leave stained, sagging ceilings. Our ceiling repair service rebuilds them once the roof is sorted.
Many homes around King Street and the older town streets were built before 1920 with lath and plaster. See plaster repair.
Hosts need damage fixed between bookings, not six weeks later. We work around your calendar for patches and drywall repair.
Booking work in Gananoque? Ask about our next visit.
Summer in Gananoque means traffic, busy rentals and full parking along the waterfront. Most owners prefer drywall work in the shoulder seasons, from April to early June and from September into November.
We recommend booking shoulder-season work early, because that window fills up. Urgent repairs, like water damage, are handled whenever they happen.
Road-access properties, including Howe Island via its ferry, are part of our regular area. Island properties that can only be reached by boat need material barged in and a crew transported daily.
We assess water-access jobs case by case. Tell us early how the property is reached, and we will give you a clear yes or no before any quote.
We work in Gananoque, Lansdowne, Ivy Lea, Rockport, Seeley's Bay and on Howe Island, along with the cottage roads in between.
Further east, see our Brockville page for heritage homes in Leeds and Grenville.
Tell us where the property is, whether it is year-round or seasonal, and when it will be empty. Photos of the damage help us plan the visit.
