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.

Kensington drywall in context

About Kensington

Kensington was annexed to the City in 1913 during a real estate boom but most development didn't occur until the 1950s.

What we see in Kensington

In Kensington the drywall work is plaster and lath repair, popcorn and stipple ceiling removal, careful patching into original surfaces. We confirm what your home actually needs on site, in writing, before anything starts.

Our Kensington taping and mudding process, step by step

Tape every seam

In Kensington 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.

What affects the cost of taping and mudding in Kensington?

Area and finish level

The cost in Albany, Athlone, Baranow depends on the square footage and the finish level — a Level 5 skim is more coats and sanding than a standard Level 4. We price off the area and the finish you need.

Drywall Taping & Mudding work we do in Kensington

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

When an Kensington 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 Kensington homes from this era are a regular part of our work in Kensington, Albany, Athlone, Baranow and the surrounding area.

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

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