In Canossa we board, tape and finish the basement, then prime and paint it — the trusted local professionals, start to finish. Canossa is an older Northwest community where settling cracks, aging texture and the occasional plaster repair come up, so basement projects here are common. We cover Canossa, Albany, Athlone, Baranow and Northwest, 7 days a week.
