Virginia Park drywall in context

About Virginia Park

Virginia Park was one of many areas subdivided during the land boom prior to World War I - but it developed slowly, even though the Highlands streetcar line passed through the neighbourhood.

What we see in Virginia Park

What affects the cost of drywall taping and mudding in Virginia Park?

Square footage, finish level and corners in Virginia Park homes

The cost of taping and mudding in Virginia Park comes down to four things: total square footage of board, the finish level (Level 4 standard vs. Level 5 skim, which takes more time and material) in Virginia Park, the number of inside and outside corners and archways, and whether the job includes ceilings, bulkheads or vaulted spaces. We measure on site and give you a fixed price before we start — it does not change.

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.

Level 4 vs. Level 5 — which does your Virginia Park home need?

Level 4 is the right choice for most Virginia Park walls

Level 4 — taped joints, three coats, sanded smooth — is the standard for most interior walls painted in eggshell or satin. It is what your Virginia Park home should have been delivered at possession. If you are painting in a standard sheen and your lighting is normal, Level 4 is what you need.

When Level 5 is worth the upgrade in Virginia Park

Level 5 adds a full skim coat over the entire wall surface — not just the joints — so the wall is one uniform texture. It matters in Virginia Park rooms with large windows where light rakes across the surface, open-concept main floors, and rooms taking flat or semi-gloss paint. When we walk an Virginia Park job site and see that kind of window exposure, we will tell you honestly which rooms are worth the upgrade.

Our Virginia Park taping and mudding process, step by step

Tape every seam

In Virginia Park we tape all seams and corners first, bedding the tape so it does not bubble or crack later.

Coats, drying time and sanding

We apply mud in coats with full drying time between each, sanding flat and feathering the edges well past the seam, then check under raking light before we call it done.
