Drywall Taping & Finishing in Oakville

Drywall finish levels range from Level 0 (no finishing) to Level 5 (the smoothest). Level 4 is standard for most residential painting. Level 5 adds a skim coat for the ultimate smooth finish, recommended for glossy paints or critical lighting.

Professional drywall finishing typically requires 3 coats of joint compound, sanding between each coat. The first coat embeds the tape, the second fills and smooths, and the third feathers the edges for an invisible seam.
