How long does drywall taping & mudding take in an Skyrattler home?

Will you finish an Skyrattler repair with tape and mud?

Yes — in Skyrattler we finish and texture-match repairs so they disappear.

Is the Skyrattler finish paint-ready when you leave?

Yes. We sand flat, clean the dust and walk every Skyrattler job with you before we pack out. Your painter can start the next day. We make an Skyrattler job right if it is not — on us.

Can you fix bad taping and mudding from another crew?

Yes. Re-finishing failed taping is common work for us — bubbled tape, cracked seams, visible ridges and pin-holing. We assess what is salvageable, re-coat or re-tape as needed, sand and check under light so the wall finishes clean.
