You may assume that the construction of sheetrock builds is the tricky part, but the true test of quality lies in the finishing touches. Taping and mudding drywall are two of the most crucial stages of all, and if they are not done well, the entire job may not look as you want it to.
Don’t worry- Clean Cut Drywall Thornton is a local Colorado drywall taping company you can trust. Let us share our knowledge of the taping process to help you understand why it is so important for your property renovations.
What Is Drywall Taping?
Drywall taping is essentially the reinforcing and sealing of plasterboard walls and ceilings. Taping drywall corners and joints make the overall structure more secure and help to smooth out the final appearance.
The four stages of taping drywall, in a nutshell, are as follows:
- Fill in the cracks, seams, joints, screw holes and corners on or between sheets of drywall using specialty taping compound. Most jobs use non-adhesive drywall tape, so this works like glue.
- Press plasterboard tape (there are several types available) onto the compound until the imperfections are completely covered and all the edges are flat. It must be left to dry before continuing.
- We then add two more layers to smooth the edges of taping, waiting between each coat to allow the material to dry, harden, and strengthen. This is known as mudding.
- Sanding and cleaning are the last things to be done to achieve the flawless finish our clients want and deserve for their properties. We never rush this part because we take pride in our work and care about providing the best for the residents of Thornton, Colorado.
Other taping jobs focus on crack repair, where we follow a similar process using drywall repair tape or mesh. Again, it goes hand in hand with mudding to create a smooth final appearance.
The Cost of Taping and Mudding Drywall
Working out the cost to tape and mud drywall happens on a case-by-case basis. Every job is unique. We tailor our services to you, so the price can vary. The things that affect the cost include:
- How many square feet of wall or ceiling we are working on
- Whether or not specialty materials are required, such as fiberglass drywall tape or tools to fire tape drywall
- The type of mudding compound used
- If the job is a drywall tape repair or a new construction
- How high the walls are and what shape the room is: the more corners and joints, the more cost involved
