Professional Drywall Finishing in Wilkes-Barre
Hanging drywall is just the start. Finishing transforms raw panels into smooth, beautiful walls ready for paint. This multi-step process requires skill, patience, and attention to detail.
The Finishing Process Explained
First, we apply tape to all joints and corners. Then comes the first coat of compound, embedding the tape. Second and third coats widen and smooth transitions. Each coat needs proper drying time before sanding.
Why Finishing Quality Matters
Poor finishing shows through paint as bumps, ridges, or visible seams. Professional finishing creates perfectly smooth surfaces. Good finishing saves money on paint and creates better final appearance.
Finishing steps include:
- Joint taping and bedding
- Multiple compound coats
- Corner beads and edges
- Smooth sanding between coats
- Final level 4 or 5 finish
Understanding Finish Levels
Level #3 finish works for heavy texture. Number 4 is standard for walls with light texture or flat paint. Level #5 provides the smoothest finish for gloss paints and critical lighting.
Texture Options
Smooth walls are popular in modern homes. Knockdown texture hides minor imperfections. Orange peel adds subtle dimension. We apply whichever finish matches your vision.
Time and Patience
Rushing finishing creates poor results. Compound needs adequate drying between coats. Proper sanding removes imperfections without damaging paper. We take time to do it right.

Our finishing leaves walls perfectly prepared for primer and paint. No bumps, no ridges, no visible seams. Just smooth, beautiful surfaces.
