What finish level do most walls need?

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

How many mud coats does an Lago Lindo wall get?

Typically three coats — tape coat, fill coat and finish coat — with full drying time between each, more for a Level 5 skim in your Lago Lindo home.

Do you finish drywall I boarded myself in Lago Lindo?

All the time. We finish DIY board jobs across Lago Lindo and the surrounding area regularly — basements, home offices, garage conversions, room additions. We assess what is there and give you a straight price to bring the Lago Lindo walls to a paint-ready finish. We do not reboard an Lago Lindo wall unless there is no other way.

What is the difference between a Level 4 and Level 5 finish?

A Level 4 finish is three coats over taped joints and fasteners, sanded smooth — right for most walls in standard paint sheens. A Level 5 finish adds a full skim coat over the entire surface for a flawless look under glossy paint, raking light and on flat ceilings. We recommend the level your job actually needs.

Will the Lago Lindo walls be paint-ready when you are done?

Yes. We sand flat, clean the dust and walk every Lago Lindo job with you before we pack out. Your painter can start the next day. If anything is off on an Lago Lindo job, we return and fix it.

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.

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.
