Taping and mudding work we do in Larkspur

Main-floor updates and wall changes in Larkspur homes

The most common taping call from Larkspur is around a main-floor update — opening the kitchen to the living room, boxing a beam, or changing an entryway. New board goes up and needs to be taped and feathered into the surrounding Larkspur walls at the same Level 4 standard. We match the finish and texture so there is no visible seam between old and new.

25-year-old joints showing through fresh paint in Larkspur — Level 5 skim

Larkspur homes from the late 1980s and 1990s were finished to Level 4 at build. After 25-plus years and a coat of fresh paint, raking light sometimes reveals joint ridges that were always there but invisible under old paint. A Level 5 skim over the affected rooms solves it permanently and holds up under any finish going forward.

Builder-grade finishing below Level 4 in Larkspur homes

A consistent number of Larkspur homeowners call us after possession. The showhome had flawless walls; the home they bought shows joint ridges in raking light. Builder-grade taping in Larkspur 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.

DIY board additions in Larkspur homes — finishing to blend with the rest

Many Larkspur homeowners have boarded a flex room, bonus room or basement section themselves. When the boarding is solid but the taping looks uneven, we come in and finish it to a consistent Level 4 that matches the rest of the house. We do not reboard unless we have to.

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

Level 4 is the right choice for most Larkspur 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 Larkspur 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 Larkspur

Level 5 adds a full skim coat over the entire wall surface — not just the joints — so the wall is one uniform texture. It matters in Larkspur rooms with large windows where light rakes across the surface, open-concept main floors, and rooms taking flat or semi-gloss paint. When we walk a Larkspur job site and see that kind of window exposure, we will tell you honestly which rooms are worth the upgrade.
