Drywall Finishing

Taping, coating and sanding to the finish level the room calls for.

Drywall Finishing

Drywall finishing covers taping, compound coats and sanding. The target level of finish depends on the lighting and paint sheen in the room: a utility space and a bright living room with low-angle daylight are not the same job.

What is included

  • Taping of flat seams and inside corners
  • Coating of corner bead and fastener heads
  • Multiple compound coats worked out from the joints
  • Sanding to the agreed finish level
  • Dust control and clean up

When it is used

  • After new board is hung
  • Before painting in rooms with strong side light
  • Where a smooth, uniform wall matters under a satin or gloss paint

What to send for an estimate

  • Photos of the hung board
  • Square footage and ceiling height
  • The finish level or paint sheen you have in mind
  • The town and state of the project

Questions

What is a level 5 finish?

It adds a thin skim over the whole surface so joints and field read the same under critical light. It is described in plain terms in our guide.

Do you prime as well?

Priming is normally handled by the painter, but the surface is left ready for primer.

Can you finish work another crew hung?

Yes, after the existing board is reviewed from photos or on site.
