Taping and mudding so the Richford wall reads as one piece

Taping and mudding is the stage that turns boarded Richford walls into a finished room — smooth seams, crisp corners, no visible joints once the paint goes on. In Richford we tape and mud new construction, renovations and repairs to the finish level the job calls for. Richford is this established Southwest community where reno, repair and ceiling drywall are common, so the finishing work here is steady. We cover Richford, Allard, Ambleside, Blackburne and Southwest, 7 days a week.

What affects the cost of drywall taping and mudding in Edmonton?

Square footage, finish level and condition

The cost of drywall taping and mudding in Edmonton comes down to total square footage, the finish level (Level 4 vs Level 5), and the starting condition — fresh board finishes faster than repairing failed taping or skimming over old texture. New full-home finishing, a basement, a single room and a re-finish are all priced differently. We measure on site and give you a fixed price before we start.

Level 4 vs Level 5 — what you are paying for

A Level 4 finish is three coats over taped joints and fasteners, sanded smooth — the right choice for most Edmonton walls painted in eggshell or satin. A Level 5 finish adds a full skim coat across the entire surface, eliminating any difference between board face and compound. Level 5 costs more because it is more material and labour, and it is worth it for glossy paint, large windows with raking light, and flat ceilings. We tell you which one your job actually needs — not every room needs Level 5.
