Services

Everything between the framing and the furniture: we hang the board, finish it, texture it and paint it. Take one part or the whole job.

Drywall hanging

Sheets measured, cut and fastened so the seams land where they finish best.

We hang new construction, additions, garages and basements: walls and ceilings, standard, moisture-resistant and fire-rated board.

Sheets are laid out to keep butt joints few and away from the light. Screws are set to the right depth and spacing, and cut-outs for boxes and fixtures are tight.

Taping and finishing

Joints taped, coated and sanded to the level of finish the room needs.

Tape, corner bead and three coats of compound, sanded between coats. We finish to Level 4 for most painted rooms and Level 5, a full skim coat, where glossy paint or low raking light would show every joint.

Tell us the paint and the lighting and we will tell you which level the wall needs before any work starts.

Texture

Orange peel, knockdown and hand textures, sprayed or trowelled to match what is there.

New texture across a whole room or a match to the existing pattern after a repair. We spray a test panel first so you approve the pattern before it goes on the wall.

Popcorn ceiling removal and re-texture is quoted after a look at the ceiling. Ceilings in homes built before the 1980s should be tested for asbestos before anyone scrapes them.

Repair and patching

Holes, cracks, water damage and bad old tape joints, fixed so the patch disappears.

Door-knob holes, plumbing and electrical cut-outs, settling cracks, nail pops, peeling tape and water-stained ceilings.

We cut back to sound board, patch, tape, coat and texture to match. Water damage is patched once the leak is fixed and the framing is dry.

Painting

Primer and paint over our own finish work, so one crew takes the wall from studs to colour.

New drywall is sealed with a drywall primer and painted in two coats: walls, ceilings and trim.

We also repaint existing rooms. Repairs found on the way are patched before the paint goes on, and quoted with the job.
