What affects the cost of skim coating in Southeast Edmonton?

Surface condition and finish level

The cost of skim coating in Southeast Edmonton 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 Southeast Edmonton homes

The surfaces here are usually stipple ceilings and the occasional skim-over of dated texture, 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 Southeast Edmonton walls.
