I’m Antonio, one of Quick Sidekick’s drywall and painting technicians. A couple weeks ago, I got called to a home in Burnaby’s Deer Lake area for what was supposed to be a quick drywall patch near a bathtub.
At first glance, it looked like a tiny flaw in the wall – maybe a little bubbling from steam. But once I pressed gently on the area, I could feel it: soft, slightly swollen, and definitely waterlogged.
This wasn’t just cosmetic. It was the start of a bigger problem and one we caught just in time.
Behind the Scenes of the Repair
Once we opened up the wall, the issue became clear. The drywall was soaked. Insulation behind it was damp. And although there wasn’t mold yet, it was heading in that direction.
If this had gone unnoticed for even another month or two, the homeowner would have been looking at a full demo around the tub, potential mold remediation, and a complete reinstallation — easily over $15,000.
Instead, Quick Sidekick came in with a targeted, high-quality drywall repair solution:
- Removed all moisture-damaged drywall
- Installed mold-resistant panels in the affected area
- Seamlessly patched and feathered the seams with a Level 5 finish
- Matched the paint with zero visible transition
The result? A wall that looks like it never had a problem to begin with — and peace of mind for the client.
Why This Matters for Homeowners and Property Managers
Drywall issues rarely start big. They begin with a soft spot near a window, a bubbling paint area near a shower, or a hairline crack along a ceiling.
For homeowners in places like Coquitlam, West Vancouver, and North Van, that small flaw could be hiding major moisture damage — especially in bathrooms and kitchens where steam and plumbing are involved.
And if you’re managing a rental or investment property, a neglected patch like this could become a tenant complaint, a health concern, or a costly renovation project.
That’s why Quick Sidekick offers more than just patchwork repairs. We inspect for deeper issues, communicate clearly, and give every project — large or small — the same level of care.
A $500 repair today can prevent a $15,000 disaster next season. That’s not just good maintenance. That’s smart property ownership.
