What do published prices say crack repair runs per crack near Nepean?

Published prices for crack repair in Ontario run about $150 to $900 per crack or area, based on published GTA and Ontario contractor prices read October 1, 2026. These are not Ottawa prices and not a quote.

What moves the price within that range:

• The size and length of the crack
• How many cracks are being done in the same visit
• The finish level the repaired area needs to match the surrounding wall, as described in the Gypsum Association's GA-214 guide (an industry recommendation, not a Building Code requirement)
• Whether texture matching is needed after the repair is done
• Whether primer and paint are included in the quote or billed separately

A fair written quote for crack repair should name the cracks covered, the number of coats of compound, the finish level by number, whether sanding is included, whether primer or paint is in scope, and whether texture matching is part of the price.

The most useful question to ask before signing: ask the contractor to write down exactly which finish level the repaired area will reach and whether that level is enough to hold the same paint sheen as the wall around it.
