Our Aspen Gardens, Bearspaw, Blue Quill Estates taping and mudding process, step by step

Tape every seam

In Aspen Gardens, Bearspaw, Blue Quill Estates we tape all seams and corners first, bedding the tape so it does not bubble or crack later.

Coats, drying time and sanding

We apply mud in coats with full drying time between each, sanding flat and feathering the edges well past the seam, then check under raking light before we call it done.

Post-possession Level 4 upgrades in Blue Quill

Blue Quill is one of the newer communities in the area and homeowners call us within the first year of possession regularly. Builder specification calls for Level 4 but the delivery is often Level 2 or 3. We confirm what was delivered, scope the rooms that matter most and bring the finish to what Level 4 actually looks like — joints invisible under paint, no ridges in raking light.

Basement partitions and flex room additions in Blue Quill

Even in newer Blue Quill homes, homeowners are already adding partitions, finishing basement spaces and converting flex rooms. We finish new-board additions to Level 4 and make sure corners, joints and ceiling perimeter tape match the finish level in the rest of the home.

Level 4 vs. Level 5 — which does your Blue Quill home need?

Level 4 is the right choice for most Blue Quill walls

Level 4 — taped joints, three coats, sanded smooth — is the standard for most interior walls painted in eggshell or satin. It is what your Blue Quill home should have been delivered at possession. If you are painting in a standard sheen and your lighting is normal, Level 4 is what you need.

When Level 5 is worth the upgrade in Blue Quill

Level 5 adds a full skim coat over the entire wall surface — not just the joints — so the wall is one uniform texture. Large-window Blue Quill rooms, open-concept spaces and flat or semi-gloss paint are where it matters. When we walk an Blue Quill job site and see that kind of window exposure, we will tell you honestly which rooms are worth the upgrade.

When Level 5 is worth the upgrade in Blue Quill

Level 5 adds a full skim coat over the entire wall surface — not just the joints — so the wall is one uniform texture. It shows most in Blue Quill rooms with raking light, open layouts, or flat and semi-gloss finishes. When we walk an Blue Quill job site and see that kind of window exposure, we will tell you honestly which rooms are worth the upgrade.

Why Edmonton homeowners trust Emplastrum for taping and mudding

The finish is our specialty, not an add-on

Most crews treat finishing as the fast last step. We built the company on it. Every wall is feathered, sanded and checked under light, because the finish is the part you see for the next twenty years. The boarding can be perfect and a rushed finish still ruins the look — so we do not rush it.
