Our Edmonton taping and mudding process, step by step

Tape coat, fill coat, finish coat

Every taping job in Edmonton follows the same disciplined sequence: embed the tape in the first coat over every joint and corner, a wider fill coat once it is dry, then a final finish coat feathered out wide so the joint disappears into the board. Each coat must dry before the next — rushing the coats is what causes cracks and shadows later.

Sanding and checking under light

We sand smooth with dust control, then check every wall and ceiling under raking light before we call it done. Light is what reveals a bad finish, so light is what we finish to. The taping is not done until it looks right under the same light your paint will see.

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 Aspen Gardens, Bearspaw, Blue Quill, and newer communities like Aspen Gardens, Bearspaw, Blue Quill.

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.

Why Edmonton homeowners trust Emplastrum for taping and mudding

The finish is our specialty, not an add-on

Most crews treat finishing as the fast last step. We built the company on it. Every wall is feathered, sanded and checked under light, because the finish is the part you see for the next twenty years. The boarding can be perfect and a rushed finish still ruins the look — so we do not rush it.

Free on-site quotes and fixed prices — you know the number before we start and it does not change. Not sure what to ask when comparing quotes?
