Drywall Finishing
Create Smooth Walls Ready for the Final Finish
Careful Work From Seams to Corners
Drywall finishing turns installed wallboard into a smooth surface that can be painted, textured, or otherwise completed. The quality of this stage can have a major effect on how walls and ceilings look when the entire project is finished. At Malkerson, Inc., we provide careful drywall finishing for new construction, remodeling projects, repairs, and complete drywall installations.
The process involves more than simply covering drywall seams. Drywall taping helps connect adjoining panels, while joint compound application covers tape, fasteners, joints, and other areas that need to be blended into the surrounding surface. Additional coats and careful surface preparation help create a consistent finish before paint or texture is applied.
Our drywall taping and finishing work can also address corners, seams, and transitions that require additional attention. Drywall corner finishing helps create clean lines where surfaces meet, while drywall seam finishing reduces visible transitions between individual panels. When a project requires a smoother surface, drywall skim coating may be used as part of the finishing process based on the needs of the wall or ceiling.
Our drywall finishing work can include:
- Drywall taping: Apply tape to drywall joints to help create consistent transitions between installed panels before additional finishing work.
- Joint compound application: Apply compound over joints, tape, fasteners, and other areas that need to be blended into the surrounding drywall.
- Seam finishing: Smooth panel seams to reduce visible transitions and prepare walls or ceilings for their final surface treatment.
- Corner finishing: Finish inside and outside corners with careful attention to clean lines and consistent surfaces.
- Drywall skim coating: Apply finishing material where appropriate to create a smoother and more uniform surface before final coatings.
- Preparation for painting: Prepare finished drywall so walls and ceilings are ready for the next stage of painting or other surface treatments.
Different projects may call for different levels of finishing. New construction may require drywall finishing across multiple rooms or an entire property, while remodeling work may involve matching newly installed drywall with surrounding surfaces. Repairs may require careful finishing around a smaller patched area so the repaired section can move into the painting stage.
Customers who also need new wallboard can explore our drywall installation options for new construction, additions, remodeling, and replacement projects. When cracks, holes, damaged seams, or other problems affect existing surfaces, our drywall repair options can address the damaged material before finishing takes place.
