What affects the cost of skim coating in Bonnie Doon, Capilano, Cloverdale?

Surface condition and finish level

The cost of skim coating in Bonnie Doon, Capilano, Cloverdale comes down to the size of the area, the condition of the existing surface (a lightly textured wall takes fewer coats than one with heavy knockdown or old wallpaper glue), and the finish level — a true Level 5 for critical light is more skim work than knocking down a rough patch. We assess on site and give a fixed price before we start.

Level 5 skim coating in Avonmore

When a Level 5 finish is worth it
