How long does taping and mudding take?

Most rooms take several days because each coat of compound must dry before the next — typically a tape coat, a fill coat and a finish coat, then sanding. A single room is usually a few days; a full basement or home is longer. We give a specific schedule on the on-site quote.

Do you cover all of Edmonton for taping and mudding?

Yes — we cover all four Edmonton quadrants, Edmonton, Charlesworth, Decoteau, Ellerslie, Summerside, The Orchards At Ellerslie, Walker, Edmonton and surrounding communities, 7 days a week. The only exception is downtown high-rise towers, which require working-at-heights permits and building access we do not carry.

What is the difference between Level 4 and Level 5 finish on a Ellerslie Edmonton wall?

Level 4 is the standard for most Ellerslie Edmonton walls painted in eggshell or satin — taped joints, three coats, sanded smooth. Level 5 adds a full skim coat over the entire Ellerslie Edmonton wall for rooms with large windows, raking light, flat paint or open-concept spaces where every imperfection shows. We walk the Ellerslie Edmonton space and tell you honestly which rooms need the upgrade.

Is the Ellerslie Edmonton finish paint-ready when you leave?

Yes. We sand flat, clean the dust and walk every Ellerslie Edmonton job with you before we pack out. Your painter can start the next day. We make an Ellerslie Edmonton job right if it is not — on us.

How long does drywall taping & mudding take in an Ellerslie Edmonton home?

What finish level do most walls need?

Level 4 is correct for most Ellerslie Edmonton walls under flat paint. Level 5 is worth it in Ellerslie Edmonton for feature walls, critical light or gloss paint.
