The manifesto

Done right.
Beautifully.
The first time.

GNARLYWALL is a wall company out of London, Ontario that does premium repair and painting. We do the job right and beautifully the first time, and we do not leave until you love the final product.

Because that's what it's about, right?

01 / Excellent communication

You get photographic records as we go. No mystery. No radio silence. Project managers actually like working with us.

02 / Top quality, no excuses

Scrape, fill, skim, brush, roll, and spray — whatever it takes. If the wall is gnarly, that's our favourite kind.

03 / Clean sites. No flashing.

No spills. No tracking. Organized rooms you can still live in. We leave the place looking like we were never a problem.

The toolkit

What we do

01

Framing

Straight walls start with honest bones. We frame so the finish has somewhere true to live.

02

Drywall

Hang, tape, and finish that disappears. No ridges. No telegraphing. Just a wall that looks like a wall.

03

Plaster

The gnarly stuff. Flood damage, blown paper, cratered corners — scrape, fill, skim, repeat until it's glass.

04

Sanding

The unglamorous hour that makes the glamorous hour possible. Dust contained. Surfaces actually flat.

05

Painting

Brush, roll, and spray with premium coatings. Colour help included. This is not colouring inside the lines.

06

Cladding

Feature walls, slat, panel, and wrap that change the whole room without pretending paint can do it alone.

How a wall gets honest

Scrape. Skim. Sand. Coat.

01

Walk it

We look at the real wall, not the hopeful photo. Honest scope, honest timeline.

02

Scrape

Failed paint, bubbling paper, rusty flashing — gone. You cannot paint over a lie.

03

Fill & skim

Plaster until the plane is true. Corners, ceilings, water scars, the works.

04

Sand

The make-or-break pass. Smooth enough that light does not snitch on us.

05

Coat

Prime, then premium paint — brush, roll, or spray. Cut-ins that look lasered.

06

Proof

Walkthrough, photos, and a wall you actually love. That's the whole point.

Need a second opinion?

Colour. Repair. "Can this even be saved?"

Not sure which paint or sheen. Not sure these walls can be repaired. Have an idea and need to know if it will work. That is literally the fun part. Call us.
