Our skim coating process
Protect
Floors and furnishings are covered before we start. We leave the space the way we found it.
Apply
Plaster goes on with both spray and hand methods for even, precise coverage.
Sand
Once dry, walls are sanded smooth with a vacuum sander to keep dust down.
Inspect
Bright lights catch any imperfection, and we fix what we find.
Ready for paint
Walls are left smooth and ready for priming and painting.
