Our Ellerslie Edmonton skim coating process, step by step

Prep and the first skim coat

A flat finish in Ellerslie Edmonton starts with prep — we scrape high spots, fill deep damage and prime glossy or porous areas so the skim coat bonds. Next, the Ellerslie Edmonton wall takes its first full skim pass.

Coats, drying and the sand

Most later ridging or cracking traces to skipped drying time between coats. Coats built up as needed, a flat sand, edges feathered past the repair, and a raking-light check — the Ellerslie Edmonton standard. A skim lives or dies by the light — so in Ellerslie Edmonton we finish to the light.
