Skim Coating

Flat, smooth walls from rough ones

Free Estimate Residential CommercialChelsea, MA · Mon – Sat

Skim coating takes a wall that has been patched, papered, textured, or simply lived in for eighty years and makes it flat again. We apply thin coats of compound or veneer plaster across the whole surface, then sand it level so paint reads evenly instead of catching every old repair.

Skim Coating is available for both residential and commercial customers. From single rooms in a family home to full office, retail, and multi-unit builds, we bring the same crew, the same materials, and the same finish standard to every job.

Our Process

1

Prep

Glue residue is washed off, loose material is cut out, and the surface is bonded.

2

First Skim

A thin coat is spread over the full surface to fill the low spots and texture.

3

Second Skim

A second pass, worked in the opposite direction, brings the whole wall level.

4

Sand & Prime

Dustless sanding flattens it, then primer seals the surface for paint.
