From drywall repair and crack fixes to popcorn removal, knockdown ceilings, ceiling painting, and renovation drywall work, Big Al’s handles the wall and ceiling work that makes a home look finished again.
A patch is only part of the job. The surface still has to sit right, blend properly, and make sense with the rest of the room once the work is done.
Serving Calgary homeowners with dedication and expertise for over three decades.
Providing in-person estimates across Calgary and all nearby surrounding communities.
We believe in our work. No upfront payments required before we start your project.
Peace of mind guaranteed with our comprehensive 6-month workmanship warranty.
Fully certified professionals carrying complete liability insurance for your protection.
Specialized safety protocols and awareness for ceiling processes in older homes.
A stained ceiling after a leak. Cracks that keep coming back. Holes left open after plumbing work. A popcorn ceiling that dates the whole house. A patch that still shows after paint. A basement project that needs drywall, taping, and finishing before anything else can move forward.
Who can actually handle this properly?
Big Al’s works on the wall and ceiling issues Calgary homeowners deal with most:
Leaks, staining, softened drywall, sagging areas, and damaged material that needs to be cut out, rebuilt, and finished properly.
Cracks along seams, corners, and ceilings caused by movement, seasonal shifts, and settling in Calgary homes.
Older ceiling finishes that make a home feel older, harder to repair, and harder to update cleanly.
Full ceiling rework for homeowners moving from popcorn to knockdown, flat, or another updated finish.
New drywall, taping, mudding, sanding, and prep work for spaces being rebuilt or upgraded.
Repairs that still stand out because the surface was rushed, poorly blended, or finished without enough control.
Walls and ceilings opened in multiple areas that need more than a quick patch to look right again.
Big Al’s is positioned as a drywall-first contractor, but the scope goes well beyond patch-only work. The company handles the wall and ceiling side of interior projects across repair, upgrade, refinishing, and installation scenarios, while still avoiding general contractor positioning. Our work includes:
Every project starts on site. That allows the actual surface condition, visibility, texture, access points, and scope to be assessed properly.
Before work begins, you get a clear outline of the work involved and what the finished result should realistically look like.
Floors, nearby surfaces, and work areas are protected so the job stays controlled and your home is respected.
The work is completed based on what the surface actually needs. That may include drywall removal, new board, taping, mudding in stages, sanding, texture application, refinishing, painting, or full ceiling upgrade work.
Before the project is closed out, the finished work is reviewed with you so the result lines up with the approved scope.
A lot of wall and ceiling work looks fine until the light hits it, the paint goes on, or you step back and see the whole room. These projects show the kind of work Big Al’s handles across repairs, refinishing, upgrades, and installation.
Witness the transformation. From the initial damage assessment to the final flawless finish, see our commitment to quality craftsmanship.
The initial state reveals significant water damage and structural cracking. Our team carefully evaluated the extent of the underlying issues to prepare a comprehensive repair plan.
Stage 1: Initial
Damaged sections were removed and replaced. Here, multiple layers of joint compound are applied and meticulously sanded to ensure a perfectly smooth surface before texturing.
Stage 2: In Progress
The completed repair. New texture is seamlessly blended with the existing surface, followed by a fresh coat of premium paint, leaving no trace of the previous damage.
Stage 3: Final Result
For homes built before 1991, some ceiling materials may need asbestos testing before they are disturbed.
That matters most with popcorn ceiling removal, scraping, and certain ceiling refinishing projects.
Big Al’s takes an asbestos-aware approach by identifying when testing should happen before work moves forward. If asbestos is found, Big Al’s does not perform licensed abatement removal. In some cases, encapsulation through drywall overlay may be an appropriate path. In other cases, the homeowner may choose to work with a licensed abatement contractor first.
The important part is that the process is handled clearly and properly.
