Damage After Home Repairs

Taping and mudding is essential when you want smooth, durable, paint-ready surfaces. If your drywall shows visible seams, uneven joints or hairline cracks – it’s time to refinish. After new drywall installation, professional taping ensures long-term strength and a flawless look. It’s also common after plumbing or electrical repairs where cuts and patches disrupt the wall surface.

Our team uses high-quality joint compound, clean tape application and expert sanding to achieve a perfect finish. Whether it’s a single wall or a whole home, proper taping and mudding makes all the difference.

For Flawless Finishes

When Smooth Surfaces Matter Most

Taping and mudding may not be the most visible phase of drywall work, but it’s one of the most important. Uneven joints, exposed seams or poorly feathered compound can ruin the appearance of even the most expensive finishes.

At Express Drywall Services, we follow a meticulous multi-layer process – starting with joint tape and progressing through multiple coats of compound, each one dried, sanded and leveled to perfection. Our team works on everything from new drywall installations to repairs after water damage, coordinating with other services like drywall installation, popcorn ceiling removal and framing (wood & steel stud) when necessary.

We match the level of finish to your environment, from standard residential walls to high-traffic areas where durability and appearance go hand in hand. Whether you’re preparing a space for texturing services or looking to repair old seams, we provide results that stand the test of time.

We also offer solutions for homeowners who have had electrical or plumbing work done, ensuring patches are invisible. Our crews maintain jobsite cleanliness and we offer a 1-year warranty on all work. With over 20 years of experience across the GTA, we’ve refined our methods to deliver speed, reliability and pristine finishes.

What’s Covered in a Typical Finishing Job

What Is Included in the Service

Every finishing job starts with proper surface preparation. We inspect all drywall sheets to ensure they’re securely fastened, with no loose screws, gaps or damage. Dust and debris are removed to create a clean, bonding-ready surface. This careful prep ensures that tape and mud adhere evenly for a flawless final result.
Next, we apply drywall tape to all joints, seams and inside corners to reinforce the structure and prevent future cracking. Depending on the project, we use either paper tape for smooth walls or fiberglass mesh tape for added flexibility. Each tape line is embedded in a layer of compound for strength and stability. Precision in this step lays the groundwork for an even, durable finish.
We apply joint compound in multiple passes, feathering out each layer to blend it with the surrounding surface. Between coats, drying times are observed to prevent cracking or bubbling. Fastener holes, corners and taped seams are all covered with care and consistency. This step builds the smooth, uniform surface needed for high-quality painting or texturing.
Once the compound is fully dry, we sand the surface to eliminate lines, ridges or tool marks. The goal is a seamless appearance with no visible joints under lighting or paint. We use vacuum-assisted or low-dust sanding methods to keep the work area clean. At this point, walls are ready for the final phase of finishing.
To wrap up, we perform a detailed inspection of all surfaces to catch even the smallest imperfections. Minor touch-ups are made as needed for full consistency and visual smoothness. We also prepare the area for painting or texture, leaving it clean and ready for the next step. Our team doesn’t leave until the job meets both our standards - and yours.
