Taping, mudding and sanding new drywall to the level your project needs: from Level 3 for textured walls to a Level 5 skim coat for smooth walls under strong light.
The finish is what you look at every day
Great framing and hanging can still look bad with a rushed finish. We apply thin coats, let them dry, and sand with dust control so your house doesn’t end up covered in white powder.
Levels 3 to 5

How we do it

Checked under light, not in the dark
We inspect every wall with a work light held at an angle, the same way the afternoon sun will hit it. Ridges and edges get fixed before we call it done. Get a free estimate.
Questions we get about taping and finishing
What drywall finish level do I need?
Most homes use Level 4. Rooms with big windows, glossy paint or smooth ceilings look better with Level 5.
How many coats of mud do you apply?
Usually three: tape coat, fill coat and finish coat, plus a skim coat on Level 5 jobs.
How long does mud take to dry?
About 24 hours per coat, depending on humidity and temperature.
Do you finish drywall someone else hung?
Yes. We check it first and tell you if anything needs fixing before we tape.
