I spotted this tiny hole in our wall, and being the DIY fanatic I am, I thought, “Let me take care of this easy plastering project myself.” Well, long story short – that was a bust.
The area looked way worse than when I started, with holes, bubbles, and cracks that were just screaming “botched DIY”.
After that, I decided to leave future plastering jobs to the experts, leading me to compile this list of Toronto’s top plasterers. From filling holes to crafting intricate designs, these pros have the skills to handle any wall-related drama.
Because of my botched effort (thank me later), you can now say goodbye to DIY disasters and hello to seamless plasters with our guide to the best plasterers in the city! You’re welcome!
How much does a plasterer cost in Toronto?
On average, plastering services in Toronto cost $3,922.
Prices vary depending on factors like decorations, type of plaster, location, and repairs needed.
How We Chose the Best Plasterers in Toronto
1. Drywall Pro-Finishing
Drywall Pro-Finishing offers top-notch drywall and plastering services. With over a decade of experience in the GTA, they seamlessly blend expertise with efficiency, from taping and mudding to popcorn ceiling removal.
We like how they mix their plaster with fiber, plasticizer, foaming agent, and various additives to make it mold-resistant, fire-resistant, and water-resistant.
During the initial quotation visit, the plasterer takes the time to understand concerns and provides a reasonable estimate.
They’re able to tackle tricky transitions between new drywall and old plaster with ease, transforming the space beyond recognition.
We also appreciate their consideration for their customers by turning off the furnace during sanding to decrease the amount of dirt — a small detail you won’t usually find other providers doing.
While some may have experienced delays in turnaround times, we found that their punctuality and clear communication make up for any minor inconveniences.
Pros
- Specialized plaster mix
- Over a decade of experience
- Conducts initial quote visit
- Can tackle tricky transitions
- Punctual and communicative
Cons
- Delays in turnaround times
Refreshing to work with a true professional
“Had the pleasure of hiring Slava and his team for our most recent project. It was really refreshing to work with a true professional, who was honest, communicated extremely well and really cared about his work. When issues came up he always talked things through to resolve them. The quality of the work was also outstanding! I would highly recommend them if you ever need Drywall work!”

2. Toronto Popcorn Ceiling Removal
Established in 2010, Toronto Popcorn Ceiling Removal has been a reliable go-to for transforming homes with its expertise in plastering and painting.
Specializing in removing outdated popcorn ceilings, they offer a range of services including installing pot lights, crown molding, plastering, and painting entire homes.
We appreciate their free estimates and guaranteed quotes– no hidden charges here!
Their process is also seamless: we simply filled out their online form, and within 24 hours, we received a quote tailored to our project’s square footage.
Using a dustless method for minimal mess, they start with masking before removing popcorn ceilings and applying plaster for a smooth finish.
We like that they only use quality materials like Benjamin Moore Ultra Spec Latex paint. As a bonus, they offer a 100% satisfaction guarantee.
However, we heard about their lack of responsiveness from some customers, so it’s worth keeping communication channels open throughout the process.
Pros
- Over 14 years of experience
- Free estimates and guaranteed quotes
- Gives a quote within 24 hours
- Uses a dustless method
- Only uses quality materials
- 100% satisfaction guarantee
Cons
- Lack of responsiveness
Excellent work by Tyler
“Excellent work by Tyler. The painting was also a great experience. Home actually smells better from all the stucco removed after 20 years of use. My home looks bigger, brighter and is much cleaner. Tyler keeps good communication and was always easy to approach throughout the entire process. I will be using his services again in near future!”
DC, Google Review
Only took 3 business days to complete
“Tyler and Basil made the process of removing the popcorn ceilings easy, seamless and it only took 3 business days to complete. They were reliable and always easily accessible. Appreciated their quick work and better service, would recommend them to anyone looking to update their home!!”

Mr Stucco is a company led by Jerry Minshull, whose journey began with a two-man operation painting homes in the mid-1980s. Over the years, Jerry has expanded the business, boasting an impressive fleet of twelve trucks and crews.
Specializing in stucco application and plaster repair, Mr Stucco can transform any ceiling with a variety of textured designs. Examples include popcorn, acoustic, California, knockdown, and crowfoot.
We’re happy to learn that they also repair water, smoke, and fire damage to interior walls, as well as fix cracks and apply crown molding for added style.
With over 14,000 completed projects under their belt, Mr. Stucco has built a reputation for quality workmanship.
We’re also impressed with their recognition from magazines, including a feature in the Professional Painter Magazine in the Spring 2004 edition.
The only downside we found was that Mr. Stucco’s premium offerings may come with a higher price tag.
Pros
- Over 40 years of experience
- Stucco application and plaster repair
- Repairs water, smoke, and fire damage
- Fixes cracks and applies crown molding
- Over 14,000 completed projects

The skill level from these three gentlemen are off the charts
“I called Mr. Stucco, and Rob arrived at my house and gave me a quote. The following day Joey, Dave, and Tyler arrived to start the repair. The skill level from these three gentlemen are off the charts. They colour matched the border around the ceiling. They also fixed another water stain I had in one of the upstairs bedrooms and painted the ceiling in my basement. All three jobs were done to perfection. Could not be happier and the entire process was stress free. I will recommend Mr. Stucco to anyone looking for ceiling repair.”

They also offer a wide range of services, from regular flat drywall and plaster repairs to more specialized tasks like stipple or popcorn ceiling repairs.
If you have holes left behind by electrical work or leaks, we recommend giving them a call. Customers rave about their clean workmanship, with no drywall dust left behind, and seamless paint matching that leaves walls looking as good as new.

Quick, stress-free wall repair service!
“I don’t think I could have asked for a better experience from these guys. I needed to get a hole repaired in my wall, and even while they were off for the holidays, I was still able to communicate with their secretary and arrange an appointment. The repair itself took only one afternoon, and it looks flawless! Contact PatchBoyz if you’re looking for quick, stress-free wall repair service!”

They offer free no-obligation consultations, so you can discuss your project with their team thoroughly. And, unlike other plasterers, they conduct thorough inspections post-installation to make sure they provide top-notch results.
Seamless drywall finishes are also offered.

7. Homeview Reno Toronto
Homeview Reno Toronto has more than ten years under its belt in general construction — doing plastering, drywall, and painting.
We love the fact that they leave everything squeaky clean, safe, and healthy once they’re done. They get that it’s super important for clients to be able to kick back and enjoy their homes without any hassle from construction stuff.
They’re also pros at sprucing up decks, blasting away dirt with pressure washing, laying down flooring, tiling, putting in doors, and a bunch of other stuff too.
We noticed that their clients can’t stop singing their praises, saying they’re always on time, super organized, and get the job done fast without sacrificing quality.
Now and then, there’ve been a couple of small slip-ups, like forgetting to seal up a can of paint, which ended up drying out. But hey, nobody’s perfect, right?
Pros
- Over a decade of experience
- Specializes in general construction
- Leaves everything squeaky clean
- Punctual and organized
- Handles other construction and renovation projects
Cons
- Some minor slip-ups
Excellent job patching up the holes and blending the repairs

8. Kris’s Painting
Kris’s Painting has a whopping 30 years of experience. They specialize in all things residential, from painting to plastering. They also cover a wide 50-kilometer radius.
We learned that they use the fancy Festool dust extractor system to keep the dust to a minimum while they work. This is super handy, especially if you’re living in the space they’re renovating.
Oh, and get this—they throw in a free color consultation when you book your project.
Customers who were in need of plaster repair told us that they knocked it out of the park. Kris kept them in the loop, from what he was doing to timelines and even potential concerns about painting and plastering.
Plus, they offer other services like popcorn ceiling removal, staining, water damage and mold removal, caulking, and power washing.
The only downside is that they’re pretty popular, so getting a slot on their calendar might take a bit of finagling.
Pros
- 30 years of experience
- Covers a 50-kilometer radius
- Festool dust extractor system
- Free color consultation
- Solid communication skills
- Water damage and mold removal
Cons
- Might be hard to book

He did a fantastic job, looks amazing. People keep commenting on how good the room looks. He’s very knowledgeable about his craft. 5 stars.”
Dana McCabe, Google Review
Worked around our timeline and did an amazing job

He worked around our timeline and did an amazing job. Incredibly professional and worth working with!”

If you’re on the hunt for top-notch plastering services, you gotta check out Weston Stucco – these guys have been at it since ’94. They cover all bases when it comes to plastering, using traditional cement stucco, EIFS, and synthetic stucco.
Speaking of EIFS or Exterior Insulation Finish Systems, they can make your wall look like just about anything, from limestone to brick.
We love that they give you options. You can see samples of different plaster surface textures in tons of colors and styles, so you can really customize your space.
They’re also not messing around when it comes to quality. They’re approved by top stucco suppliers like Durabond and Durock, so you know you’re getting the good stuff.

10. Venetian Plaster Toronto
Venetian Plaster Toronto or VPT’s goal is to create spaces that not only look amazing but also function like a dream.
They specialize in Venetian plaster, lime wash, and micro cement, and we think their work is next level. Venetian plaster, in particular, is super eco-friendly — it’s all-natural and contains no harmful stuff or pesky volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
Their process kicks off with a consultation, where they really zone in on what you want for your space.
Once they’ve got your vision locked in, they bust out the big guns—cutting-edge 3D tech to create a virtual tour of your revamped digs. And when it comes to bringing that vision to life, we believe they’ve got it down to an art.
But fair warning, this level of expertise does come with a price tag. So, if you’re looking to splurge a bit on your plastering project, VPT might just be the ticket.
Pros
- Specializes in Venetian plaster
- Also works with lime wash and micro cement
- Eco-friendly solution
- Begins with a consultation
- Creates a virtual tour of your desired outcome
Cons
- Pricey

Highly recommend!”
