What affects the cost of skim coating in Lorelei?

Surface condition and finish level

The cost of skim coating in Lorelei 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 Lorelei homes

The surfaces here are usually knockdown on newer streets and stipple on the older ones, 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 Lorelei walls.
