Skim coating in Britannia Youngstown, Canora, Crestwood for a flat, paint-ready finish

Skim coating in Britannia Youngstown, Canora, Crestwood for a flat, paint-ready finish

Rough, textured or patched Rio Terrace walls betray every flaw once light hits them — and fresh paint only amplifies it. In Rio Terrace 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. Rio Terrace is one of Jasper Place's newer communities, where fresh installation and first-year settling work are common, so the work here is usually first-year drying cracks and nail pops as the home settles. We cover Rio Terrace, Britannia Youngstown, Canora, Crestwood and Jasper Place, 7 days a week.

Level 5 skim coating in Rio Terrace

When a Level 5 finish is worth it

A Level 5 finish — a full skim coat over the entire surface — is worth it in Rio Terrace 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 Rio Terrace homes with stipple on the older homes and knockdown on the newer ones, we can skim straight over the existing texture to bring a wall or ceiling back to flat, rather than tearing it out. Compared with re-boarding, an Rio Terrace skim is faster, cleaner and typically cheaper.

Our Rio Terrace skim coating process, step by step

Prep and the first skim coat

A flat finish in Rio Terrace starts with prep — we scrape high spots, fill deep damage and prime glossy or porous areas so the skim coat bonds. Next, the Rio Terrace 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 Rio Terrace standard. A skim lives or dies by the light — so in Rio Terrace we finish to the light.
