About this service
Sanding is the final step of smoothing the dried joint compound so the surface is perfectly flush with the wall. You need to do this after the mud has fully cured, using fine-grit sandpaper or a sanding sponge. It is essential for removing any ridges or lap marks created during the application process. Proper sanding ensures that when you apply your primer and paint, the wall looks uniform and professional.
