Wall Skim Coating in Rochester, New York

Smooth out rough, uneven, or damaged wall surfaces.

Rough, bumpy walls do not always need to be torn out. A skim coat can make them smooth enough for a clean paint finish.

Skim coating in plain terms

Skim coating spreads thin layers of joint compound over a wall to level it out. The result is a flat, even surface ready for primer and paint.

When skim coating helps

  • Torn drywall paper after wallpaper removal
  • Old texture you want gone
  • Many patches that show under lamp light

Steps we follow

We repair torn paper, then apply thin coats of compound with drying time between each. The wall is sanded smooth, primed, and painted.

Skim coat costs

Skim coating costs in Rochester vary based on wall size, surface damage, and the number of coats needed.

Patience that shows

Constant does not rush drying time, which is what keeps a skim coat from cracking later. Payment is generally collected after the work is done and you have walked through it with us, so you only pay once you are happy.
