Skim Coating to Restore Smooth, Paint-Ready Walls

Uneven Walls From Damage or Poor Repairs

Water stains, cracks, patches, and texture mismatches leave ceilings and walls looking worn and uneven. Even after basic patching, imperfections often show through paint. These issues are common after repairs from water or smoke damage, especially when surfaces have not been properly prepped.


Ignoring Surface Flaws Leads to Poor Results

If you paint directly over patched or textured surfaces without proper smoothing, every flaw becomes more noticeable. Inconsistent walls can reflect light poorly, make paint appear blotchy, and even reduce the value of your home. Without addressing these issues first, paint alone won’t hide the damage.


Smooth, Level Surfaces With Professional Skim Coating

Our skim coating service provides a smooth, even surface across entire walls or ceilings. After we repair any damaged drywall or plaster, we apply a thin coat of joint compound to create a uniform texture. Once dry, we sand the surface to a flawless finish and prepare it for paint.


This process ensures that your paint looks clean and even, not patchy or uneven. Whether we're working on part of a wall or resurfacing an entire room, we handle the prep work that delivers long-lasting, professional results.
