Taping and mudding work we do across Edmonton

New builds, basements and full-home finishing

The most common taping calls across Edmonton are new-build finishing and basement development — the builder or homeowner has the board up and needs a specialist to finish it. We finish full homes, basements and additions to a flat Level 4 or Level 5 in established communities like Abbottsfield, Alberta Avenue, Beacon Heights, and newer communities like Abbottsfield, Alberta Avenue, Beacon Heights.

Re-finishing, skim coating and repair taping

We also fix finishing that went wrong — bubbled tape, cracked seams and ridged joints from a rushed crew or a DIY attempt — and skim-coat walls flat after wallpaper removal or over old texture. If you stripped wallpaper or boarded it yourself and the finish is more than you want to take on, this is exactly the work we do every week.

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

Three coats, proper drying time, then the sanding pass

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