Skim coating in Avonmore, Bonnie Doon, Capilano for a flat, paint-ready finish

In Fulton Place, light exposes every defect on rough or patched walls, and a new coat of paint makes it worse. In Fulton Place 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. Fulton Place is this established Southeast community where reno, repair and ceiling drywall are common, so the work here is usually settling cracks, nail pops and tired texture. We cover Fulton Place, Avonmore, Bonnie Doon, Capilano and Southeast, 7 days a week.

What affects the cost of skim coating in Fulton Place?

Surface condition and finish level

The cost of skim coating in Fulton Place 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.

Texture to remove in Fulton Place homes

The surfaces here are usually knockdown and orange peel on these recent builds, and flattening those to a smooth Level 5 is exactly the work we do. We tell you honestly whether a full skim or a spot resurface makes more sense for your Fulton Place walls.

Can you skim over existing texture in my Avonmore, Bonnie Doon, Capilano home?
Yes. In most Avonmore, Bonnie Doon, Capilano homes we can skim straight over stipple ceilings and the occasional skim-over of dated texture to bring the wall or ceiling back to flat, rather than removing it — faster, cleaner and usually better value.
Is an Fulton Place skim coat paint-ready when finished?
Yes — we sand the Fulton Place surface flat, feather every edge and hand it over primed-ready for a flawless coat. We put raking light on the Fulton Place wall before signing off.
Do you stand behind your skim coating in Fulton Place?
Yes. We walk every Fulton Place job with you before we pack up, and if something is not right we come back and make it right.

Can you skim over existing texture in my Fulton Place home?
Yes. In most Fulton Place homes we can skim straight over stipple on the older homes and knockdown on the newer ones to bring the wall or ceiling back to flat, rather than removing it — faster, cleaner and usually better value.
What is a Level 5 finish?
