Drywall Taping, Plastering & Skim Coating in Toronto
Taping and finishing is the step that decides how a wall looks once it is painted. Seams, screw heads and corners all need to be built up and feathered out so they disappear under paint, especially where light hits the wall at an angle.
We tape, mud and sand new drywall, skim coat damaged or uneven walls, and repair plaster in older Toronto homes.

Skim coating
When a wall has been patched many times, has wallpaper damage or has an uneven texture, a skim coat gives you a single smooth surface again. A thin layer of compound is applied over the whole wall, then sanded flat and primed.
Plaster in older homes
Many older houses in Toronto still have plaster walls. Cracks and loose areas can often be repaired without tearing the wall out, which keeps the character of the house and avoids a lot of mess.
Level of finish
Not every wall needs the same finish. Garages and utility rooms need less than a living room with large windows. We agree the level of finish with you before we start, so the price matches what you actually need.

Frequently asked questions
What is a skim coat?
A thin layer of joint compound applied over an entire wall or ceiling to make it smooth and even, then sanded and primed for paint.
Can you fix cracked plaster without replacing it?
Often, yes. We secure loose plaster and repair cracks where the wall is still sound.
How dusty is the work?
We sheet off the area and sand with dust-extraction equipment, then clean down at the end of each day.
Do you paint afterwards?
Yes. We can prime and paint so the walls are finished in one job.
