Achieving a perfectly smooth, level surface is the foundation of any high-quality paint job, plastering project, or decorative finish, and our expert skimming, sanding, and surface preparation services ensure your walls, ceilings, and other surfaces are impeccably prepared for their final treatment. Over time, walls can develop imperfections such as cracks, bumps, uneven plaster, old wallpaper residue, or poorly applied joint compound that create an unsightly and unprofessional finish if not properly addressed. Our skilled technicians specialize in transforming rough, damaged, or irregular surfaces into flawless canvases ready for painting, wallpapering, or other decorative applications through meticulous preparation techniques. We begin with a thorough assessment of your surfaces to identify all problem areas, then employ professional skimming techniques using high-quality finishing plasters or joint compounds to create an ultra-smooth, level base that eliminates imperfections and creates the perfect foundation for your chosen finish. For surfaces with more significant damage or unevenness, we may recommend multi-coat skimming applications with proper drying time between layers to ensure optimal results without shrinkage cracks or other defects.

Our sanding services utilize industrial-grade equipment and hand-sanding techniques to remove old paint drips, smooth over plaster ridges, and feather out repaired areas so they become indistinguishable from the surrounding surface, paying special attention to detail around corners, edges, and architectural features. We understand that proper dust control is essential during sanding operations, which is why we employ advanced containment systems including HEPA-filtered vacuum sanders, plastic sheeting barriers, and negative air pressure techniques to protect your home’s air quality and keep other areas clean. Surface preparation is tailored to your specific project needs—whether preparing new drywall for its first finish, renovating older plaster walls, or creating the ideal substrate for specialty finishes like Venetian plaster or high-gloss paints. This may include washing walls to remove grease and contaminants, applying appropriate primers or sealers, filling holes and cracks with durable compounds, or even applying reinforcing mesh to prevent future cracking in problem areas. For wood surfaces like trim, doors, or cabinetry, we provide expert grain filling and fine sanding between coats to achieve that coveted furniture-quality finish.
