Painting Starling rooms by the crew that finished the drywall

Most painters do not drywall and most drywallers do not paint — so an Starling repaint needing patches usually means two contractors, two quotes, two visits. In Starling we are both: the same trusted team that repairs and finishes your drywall also primes and paints it. Starling is an West Henday community with a mix of older homes and newer builds, so the prep here is prep that ranges from light touch-ups on newer builds to a full patch-and-skim pass on the older homes nearby, with two to three coats depending on the age and condition of the specific home. We cover Starling, Breckenridge Greens, Edgemont, Glastonbury and West Henday, 7 days a week.

Our Starling interior painting process in Edmonton, step by step

Assess, patch, prime

Every Starling wall gets checked for nail holes, scuffs and drywall damage before a can of paint is opened. Anything that needs patching gets patched and primed first — in Starling that is usually a full prep pass -- patching nail holes, sanding rough spots and priming years of touch-ups before the new colour goes on.

Cut in, roll, finish

We cut in the edges cleanly, roll the field in two to three coats depending on the colour change and wall condition, and check the finish under the room's actual light before we call it done.

Starling drywall in context

What we see in Starling

In Starling the drywall work is first-year settling, basement dev for first owners, Level 5 over builder-grade. We confirm what your home actually needs on site, in writing, before anything starts.

Dark and saturated colours

They behave differently

Deep colours have less hiding pigment, show roller lap marks more, and reveal every surface flaw. They also often need a tinted primer to reach depth in fewer coats.

Wall condition first

A deep colour on an uneven Starling wall will look worse than a pale one on the same wall. If the plan is a dark feature wall, the wall may need skimming first, and we would rather say that now.

Walking the room before we call it finished

Under your lighting, not ours

Work lights are not what you will live with. A wall that looks perfect under a bright site light can show a missed roller line under a table lamp at night.

The handover

We walk each Starling room with you under its own lighting, at the time of day that room is actually used where we can. Anything that shows gets another pass before we pack up.

Why we prime new board differently

Two surfaces, one wall

New Starling drywall is board paper plus joint compound, and the two drink paint at different rates. Finish coats straight onto raw board give a patchy sheen that shows once the light hits it.

What we use

A drywall primer-sealer over the whole surface, not a spot prime over the joints. It is the cheapest step in the job and the one most often skipped by whoever is trying to be lowest price.

Why one trusted team for drywall and paint makes sense in Starling

One trusted team, both trades

Split an Breckenridge Greens, Edgemont, Glastonbury job between a drywaller and a painter and the painter never really knows what is under that primer. In Breckenridge Greens, Edgemont, Glastonbury we do both — drywall first, then paint — so the professionals painting your walls are the same professionals that repaired them.

One quote, one schedule

One booking covers the patch, the prep and the paint. One Breckenridge Greens, Edgemont, Glastonbury invoice, zero waiting on another trade.
