Our Services

Drywall taping and finishing in Ithaca fixes those visible seams and rough patches that make walls look sloppy. After new construction or a repair, you’ll notice bumpy spots where the joint tape meets the sheet, and the texture may not match the rest of the room. A proper job applies multiple mud coats, each thin enough to avoid ridges and bubbles, then sands them smooth in stages. The final sanding gives a seamless surface ready for paint, while careful dust control keeps the work area clean. With the right technique, your walls will look flat, even, and ready for any finish you choose.

Reliable drywall taping and finishing

We tape every seam flat and tight, eliminating any ridges that could show later. Our crew cuts the tape to fit each joint for a seamless finish. We apply the first mud coat thinly to avoid bubbles and let it cure properly. After each coat we sand smooth, keeping the surface ready for the next layer. The result is a wall that’s ready for paint without any visible tape lines.

Clear scheduling

We work on a schedule that fits your life, not the other way around. You pick a day and we lock it in, no last-minute changes. Our crew shows up on time and brings all needed tools. We keep the work area tidy, so you can move around safely. When the job’s done we do a quick walk-through to confirm everything’s on track.

Honest pricing

We give you a clear, written estimate before any work starts. No hidden fees, no surprise charges after the fact. Our pricing reflects the quality of materials and labor we use. If anything changes, we discuss it and get your OK before proceeding. You know exactly what you’re paying for from day one.

Local professionals

Our team lives and works in the Ithaca area, so we understand local building codes. We’re familiar with the climate-related expansion issues common here. We treat each home like our own, respecting neighbors and property. Professionalism shows in clean tools and careful handling of all surfaces. You’re hiring people who care about the community’s reputation.

Prep that matters

We start by protecting floors and removing any loose debris before taping. All joints are cleaned of dust and grease for optimal mud adhesion. We seal any gaps to keep moisture out, preventing future cracking. Proper prep means fewer touch-ups and a stronger finish. The wall’s surface stays clean, reducing dust spread during sanding.

Follow-through

We finish each job with a thorough inspection and touch-up where needed. Our crew cleans up all dust and scraps, leaving the site spotless. We provide maintenance tips so your walls stay smooth longer. If you notice any issue within a week, we’ll come back to fix it at no extra cost. Call us at (888) 431-3319 for any follow-up questions.
