Skim Coating University of Alberta Edmonton

Skim coating in University of Alberta, one flat plane wall to wall

Patched and textured surfaces in University of Alberta homes show every imperfection under light — paint alone just highlights them. In University of Alberta 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. University of Alberta is an Scona community with a mix of older homes and newer builds, so the work here is usually everything from fresh-build settling cracks to aging texture. We cover University of Alberta, Allendale, Argyll, Belgravia and Scona, 7 days a week.

Skim Coating University of Alberta Edmonton: your questions answered

Will skimming fix my cracked wall?

Only if the crack has stopped moving. An active crack gets taped and the cause addressed first — skimming over a live crack hides it until the next season and then it reappears through the new surface.

Does a skimmed wall need a special primer?

It needs a drywall primer-sealer over the whole surface. A skimmed wall is uniformly porous, and finish coats straight onto it go on unevenly. Skipping it wastes part of what the skim cost.

What is a Level 5 finish?

In University of Alberta, a true Level 5 is a complete surface skim — seams-and-screws-only does not qualify. It is the highest drywall finish level and the one worth doing in University of Alberta where critical light, gloss paint or a feature wall would show every flaw.

How many coats does it take to bury a texture?

Two or three thin ones, depending how aggressive the texture is. One heavy coat shrinks, cracks and sands unevenly — thin coats with drying between is slower and the only way it stays flat.

Do you stand behind your skim coating in University of Alberta in Edmonton?

Yes. We walk every University of Alberta 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 University of Alberta home?

Yes. In most Allendale, Argyll, Belgravia 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.
