Our Matt Berry drywall taping and mudding process, step by step

Three coats, proper drying time, then the sanding pass

Every taping and mudding job in Matt Berry starts with the tape coat — embedding paper or mesh tape into a thin base layer over every joint, inside corner and fastener head. The fill coat builds the Matt Berry surface flush with the board. The Matt Berry finish coat follows only after the fill is fully dry. Skipping drying time is the single most common reason taping jobs in Matt Berry homes crack, bubble or telegraph through paint. We do not rush it in Matt Berry.

Sanding and feathering — where flat walls are made

After the finish coat dries, we sand flat with a pole sander and feather the compound edges far enough past each joint that there is no ridge under paint, even when light rakes across the wall. We clean up the dust and leave the Matt Berry room ready for primer.

Level 4 vs Level 5 drywall finish in Edmonton

When Level 4 is the right call

Level 4 is the standard residential finish and the right choice for most Edmonton homes — bedrooms, hallways and living spaces painted in standard sheens. It is a clean, smooth, paint-ready surface at the best value.

When Level 5 is worth it

Level 5 is a full skim coat over the Level 4, worth it where imperfections would otherwise show: large windows and raking light, glossy or dark paint, feature walls and flat ceilings. For a full breakdown, see our Level 4 vs Level 5 drywall finish guide.
