How We Do It
Most people don't know taping exists until they hire a painter who finds out the drywall isn't ready. Taping is the make-or-break step: paper tape embedded in joint compound across every seam, three coats of mud feathered wide, screw holes filled and sanded, inside and outside corners protected with bead. Get it right and the paint glides on flat and uniform. Get it wrong and every seam telegraphs the moment the morning sun hits the wall. Level 4 is the residential standard — smooth, clean, ready for textured or eggshell paint. Level 5 adds a thin skim coat across the whole wall surface, which is what you need under flat, gloss, or semi-gloss paint, and in any room with floor-to-ceiling windows that throw raking light across the walls. We finish both, and we'll tell you straight which one your job needs.
