How long does taping and mudding take?

Most rooms take several days because each coat of compound must dry before the next — typically a tape coat, a fill coat and a finish coat, then sanding. A single room is usually a few days; a full basement or home is longer. We give a specific schedule on the on-site quote.

What finish level do most walls need?

Level 4 is correct for most Wedgewood Heights walls under flat paint. Level 5 is worth it in Wedgewood Heights for feature walls, critical light or gloss paint.

Level 4 vs. Level 5 — which does your Wedgewood Heights home need?

Level 4 is the right choice for most Wedgewood Heights 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 Wedgewood Heights 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 Wedgewood Heights

Level 5 adds a full skim coat over the entire wall surface — not just the joints — so the wall is one uniform texture. Large-window Wedgewood Heights rooms, open-concept spaces and flat or semi-gloss paint are where it matters. When we walk an Wedgewood Heights job site and see that kind of window exposure, we will tell you honestly which rooms are worth the upgrade.
