Skim coating in Charlesworth, Decoteau, Summerside for a flat, paint-ready finish

Patched and textured surfaces in Ellerslie homes show every imperfection under light — paint alone just highlights them. In Ellerslie we skim coat walls and ceilings to a flat, paint-ready surface, whether that is a full Level 5 finish before premium paint or flattening dated texture before a refresh. Ellerslie is an older Ellerslie community where settling cracks, aging texture and the occasional plaster repair come up, so the work here is usually settling cracks, aging stipple and the odd plaster repair. We cover Ellerslie, Charlesworth, Decoteau, Summerside and Ellerslie, 7 days a week.

Level 5 skim coating in Ellerslie

When a Level 5 finish is worth it

A Level 5 finish — a full skim coat over the entire surface — is worth it in Ellerslie where there is critical light, high-gloss or dark paint, or a feature wall that will show every imperfection. It is the highest drywall finish level and the one that holds up under raking light.

Skimming over existing texture

In Ellerslie homes with stipple ceilings and the occasional skim-over of dated texture, we can skim straight over the existing texture to bring a wall or ceiling back to flat, rather than tearing it out. For Ellerslie walls it is faster, cleaner and usually better value than replacement.
