Can you skim over existing texture in my Malmo Plains home?

Yes. In most Malmo Plains homes we can skim straight over knockdown and orange peel on these recent builds to bring the wall or ceiling back to flat, rather than removing it — faster, cleaner and usually better value.

Malmo Plains drywall in context

About Malmo Plains

Most of the land within the present neighbourhood was at one time part of the University of Alberta research farm.

What we see in Malmo Plains

In Malmo Plains the drywall work is plaster and lath repair, popcorn and stipple ceiling removal, careful patching into original surfaces. We confirm what your home actually needs on site, in writing, before anything starts.

What affects the cost of skim coating in Malmo Plains?

Surface condition and finish level

The cost of skim coating in Malmo Plains 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 Malmo Plains homes

The surfaces here are usually stipple on the older homes and knockdown on the newer 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 Malmo Plains walls.

Our Malmo Plains skim coating process, step by step

Prep and the first skim coat

A flat finish in Malmo Plains starts with prep — we scrape high spots, fill deep damage and prime glossy or porous areas so the skim coat bonds. The first wide skim coat follows across your Malmo Plains surface.

Drying time and sanding

Skim jobs that ridge or crack later almost always skipped inter-coat drying. On Malmo Plains walls we add coats as required, sand them flat, feather beyond the repair zone and verify under raking light. Because light exposes every skim flaw, Malmo Plains surfaces are finished against it.

Common skim coating situations in Malmo Plains

Refresh and repaint prep

Most skim coating calls in Malmo Plains come right before a repaint — it is the moment homeowners notice every bump, patch and bit of old texture. We skim the walls flat so the new paint goes onto a clean, even surface and the whole room reads as renovated.

After repairs and renovations

We also skim after drywall repairs, wallpaper removal and renovations — flattening settling cracks, aging stipple and the odd plaster repair and blending new work into old so there is no visible line once it is painted.
