Drywalling in Northdale
Drywall in Northdale and the streets between the two universities, where the calendar is set by lease dates.
Northdale is the densest concentration of rental housing in Waterloo, from the older converted houses on the side streets to the purpose-built low-rises and the towers along Columbia and King. The drywall work is turnovers: a unit back in late April or late August, a list of holes and a soft bathroom ceiling, and a new lease starting in days. The job is triaged on the first visit and finished over two or three more, because compound dries on its own schedule. The City's long-term rental licence sits in the background of every one of these houses — units in low-rise buildings under three storeys on a lease need one, with a floor plan and bedroom count matching the class — so a request to add a partition and a bedroom is a permit and licence conversation first and a drywall job after. Repairs inside units in the towers are done with building management's approval and inside their working hours; rated corridor walls and anything the corporation owns are left to the corporation.

Frequently asked questions
Do you work in the university-area apartment towers?
Repairs inside individual units, yes, with the building management's approval and within their working hours. Work to corridors, rated walls or anything the corporation or landlord owns is theirs to commission, and we say so.
Is there a different rate for Laurelwood than for Northdale?
No. What changes the price is the job — a bare basement versus a dozen patches in an occupied unit — not the postal code. Both get the same site visit and the same written quote.
Do the permit and licence rules differ outside the City of Waterloo?
Yes. The rental licence is a City of Waterloo by-law and does not apply in Kitchener, Woolwich or Wilmot. The Building Code is provincial, but each municipality runs its own permits. The guidance on this site is Waterloo's; a property across the boundary is checked against the right rules before quoting.
