Taping & Finishing

Taping is the trade that decides whether a wall looks built or looks finished. Compound goes on in coats, not in one pass: tape embedded in the seam, a fill coat to bury it, a skim to feather the edges out wide, and sanding between coats so nothing shows through the paint. We finish to the level the job calls for — a Level 2 above a ceiling grid where nobody will see it, a Level 5 skim on a wall that will take gloss paint or raking window light. Corners, bullnose and off-angles included, and we leave the site swept.
