Up close

The details paint can't hide.

Taped seams and spotted screws on a drywall wall

Taped & spotted

Every seam taped and feathered wide, every screw spotted three times, so nothing shows through the paint.

Drywall on a vaulted ceiling around timber trusses

Vaults around timber

Ceilings scribed tight to beams and trusses: the hardest cuts in a mountain home.

Drywall window returns with straight corner bead

Window returns

Straight bead and crisp returns on walls of glass, where low sun shows every flaw.

Finish levels

Pick the finish for the light in the room.

The industry rates drywall finish from Level 0 to Level 5. Here are the three that matter in a home.

Level 3

Under texture

Two coats over tape and fasteners. Right for walls that get a heavy texture like knockdown, and for garages.

Level 4

Flat & eggshell paint

Three coats, sanded smooth. The standard for most living spaces with flat or low-sheen paint.

Level 5

Big windows, glossy paint

A full skim coat over the whole surface. For walls of glass, raking light and semi-gloss paint, where Level 4 would still show seams.

Process

Done right, one coat at a time.

  1. Hang

    Full sheets, seams staggered and kept off door and window corners. 5/8" Type X where code calls for it, like garage walls and ceilings.

  2. Tape & bead

    Paper tape on flats and inside corners, straight metal or vinyl bead on every outside corner.

  3. Mud & sand

    Coats feathered wider each pass, dried fully in between, then sanded and checked with a work light.

  4. Texture or prime

    Smooth, orange peel or knockdown, matched to the rest of the house, then primed and ready for paint.

What we do

New builds, remodels and everything in between.

  • New construction

    Whole-house hang and finish, scheduled right after insulation and inspection.

  • Basements & additions

    New rooms finished to match the walls you already have.

  • Vaulted & high ceilings

    Scaffolding and lifts for great rooms, stairwells and lofts.

  • Texture matching

    Orange peel, knockdown or smooth, blended into existing walls.

  • Paint-ready handoff

    We finish, prime and paint too, so one crew takes the room from studs to color.
