What affects the price

If your walls have significant water damage or require mold remediation, that adds complexity. Accessibility also matters; tight corners or areas requiring scaffolding take more time than open rooms.

About this service
This is the foundational process of sealing the gaps between your wall panels to create a single, continuous surface. You need this step after the boards are hung and before any painting or texturing can occur. By embedding tape into the compound over the joints, you provide structural strength and hide the seams. The quality of this work determines how flat your final wall will look once the light hits it.
