Renovation additions and wall blending in 1960s and 1970s Bearspaw homes

When an Bearspaw homeowner opens up a wall or adds a room to a home built in the 1960s and 1970s, the new board sits against original plaster or drywall. We tape the seam, feather wide and match the existing finish so there is no visible transition between old and new. Reno additions in Bearspaw homes from this era are a regular part of our work in Bearspaw, Aspen Gardens, Blue Quill, Blue Quill Estates and the surrounding area.

Basement finishing in Bearspaw — taping new board on an older structure

Unfinished or partially finished basements in Bearspaw homes from the 1960s and 1970s often have board up but never taped. We tape everything from scratch to Level 4 and leave every Bearspaw basement finish paint-ready and consistent from floor to ceiling.

What affects the cost of drywall taping and mudding in Bearspaw?

Square footage, finish level and corners in Bearspaw homes

Taping and mudding work we do in Bearspaw

Builder-grade finishing below Level 4 in Bearspaw homes

A consistent number of Bearspaw homeowners call us after possession. The showhome had flawless walls; the home they bought shows joint ridges in raking light. Builder-grade taping in Bearspaw often stops at Level 2 or 3 where Level 4 was expected. We assess the house, prioritize the rooms where it shows most, and bring them to Level 4 — or Level 5 in rooms with large west-facing windows.

Level 5 finishing in Bearspaw rooms with raking light

Bearspaw homes built in the 2000s and 2010s frequently have large west-facing windows in main living areas. Builder-grade Level 4 shows joint ridges in those rooms under flat or semi-gloss paint. We assess which rooms have the worst exposure and skim them to Level 5 — the difference is visible the first time late-afternoon light comes through the window.

Our Edmonton taping and mudding process, step by step

Tape coat, fill coat, finish coat

Every taping job in Edmonton follows the same disciplined sequence: embed the tape in the first coat over every joint and corner, a wider fill coat once it is dry, then a final finish coat feathered out wide so the joint disappears into the board. Each coat must dry before the next — rushing the coats is what causes cracks and shadows later.

Sanding and checking under light

We sand smooth with dust control, then check every wall and ceiling under raking light before we call it done. Light is what reveals a bad finish, so light is what we finish to. The taping is not done until it looks right under the same light your paint will see.
