Can you skim over existing texture in my Webber Greens home?

Yes. In most Webber Greens homes we can skim straight over knockdown on newer streets and stipple on the older ones to bring the wall or ceiling back to flat, rather than removing it — faster, cleaner and usually better value.

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.

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.

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.

Do you do skim coating in Webber Greens?

Yes — Webber Greens is part of our regular service area, and we are usually booked within the week. We also cover Breckenridge Greens, Edgemont, Glastonbury and West Henday.

Will the skimmed Webber Greens wall be ready to paint?

Yes — Webber Greens walls are sanded flat, edges feathered, and left primed-ready so paint goes on flawless. Every Webber Greens skim gets a raking-light check before we finish.
