Questions before you book

Planning your drywall work.

Do you tape drywall that someone else installed?

Yes. Send photos of the boarded joints, corners and ceilings and Gary will assess the taping and finishing scope before quoting.

How many coats of compound do you apply?

Typically three — the tape coat, a second coat, and a finish coat — sanded smooth between coats so the seams disappear under paint.

Do you also remove popcorn ceilings?

Yes. Popcorn ceiling removal and refinishing is part of the finishing work Gary offers. Send photos of the existing ceiling so he can assess the condition and the prep involved.

Gary is based in Mississauga and takes most jobs in Mississauga and nearby Peel and Halton communities. See a recent taping project from boarded walls to paint-ready.
