Our Ramsay Heights drywall taping and mudding process, step by step

Three coats, proper drying time, then the sanding pass

Every taping and mudding job in Ramsay Heights 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 Ramsay Heights surface flush with the board. The Ramsay Heights finish coat follows only after the fill is fully dry. Skipping drying time is the single most common reason taping jobs in Ramsay Heights homes crack, bubble or telegraph through paint. We do not rush it in Ramsay Heights.

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 Ramsay Heights room ready for primer.
