Skim coating and plaster work that turns rough, damaged or dated surfaces into smooth, paint-ready walls and ceilings.
Paint cannot hide a bad surface — it highlights it. Skim coating applies thin, controlled layers of compound across the whole surface, sanded between coats, until the wall or ceiling is genuinely flat.
It is the right treatment for walls scarred by wallpaper removal, dated textures, layered old repairs, or plaster that has seen decades of patching.
Only what we genuinely do — nothing padded.
Removal often leaves torn paper faces and adhesive residue. Skimming restores one continuous smooth plane.
Textured walls and ceilings can be skimmed flat for a clean, modern surface.
Old walls with layered repairs read lumpy under paint. A full skim resets the surface.
When imperfections cover most of a wall, skimming the whole face beats chasing individual spots.
Smooth surfaces make every later coat of paint look better.
Skimming often saves walls that would otherwise be re-drywalled.
Thin coats, contained sanding and careful cleanup.
Flat work is a skill — waves and ridges show if it is rushed.
We determine what the wall needs: spot repair, partial or full skim.
Loose material removed, surfaces sealed, room protected.
Thin layers applied and sanded until genuinely flat.
