Smooth Wall Finishing

If you are tired of looking at dated textures, Smooth Wall Finishing is the way to go. We can take a wall that looks like cottage cheese and turn it into something sleek and new. It takes a steady hand and a lot of patience with a trowel, but seeing a room transform from old-fashioned to modern is one of our favorite parts of being a plasterer Ellijay pro.

Plaster Repair

A lot of the older farmhouses near East Ellijay still have real horsehair plaster and lath. When that stuff starts to crumble, you can't just slap regular spackle on it. Plaster Repair is a dying art. We know how to secure the old lath and apply new plaster coats so the repair sticks for another fifty years. If you got a "soft spot" in your wall, don't wait for it to fall out; let us fix it right.

Popcorn Ceiling Removal (and Re-texturing)

Nothing says "1970s" like a popcorn ceiling. Besides being ugly, they catch dust and spiders like crazy. Our Popcorn Ceiling Removal (and Re-texturing) service is very popular for folks buying older homes near Harrison Park. We wet it down to keep the dust low, scrape it off, and then either sand it smooth or put on a fresh, modern texture that doesn't look like food.

Knockdown Texture Application

If you want something more durable and hiding than smooth walls, Knockdown Texture Application is a great choice. We spray on some mud and then "knock it down" with a flat blade. It creates a nice mottled look that is very popular in newer homes all over Gilmer County. It’s tough and hides the scuffs from kids or pets real well.

Orange Peel Texture Application

This is a classic look that is very subtle. Orange Peel Texture Application looks just like the skin of an orange. It's great because it’s easy to clean but still hides small imperfections in the drywall. We use a special sprayer to get a consistent look across the whole room so you don't have patchy spots.

Level 5 Drywall Finish (Smooth Finish)

Most folks don't realize that standard walls actually have a bit of a bumpy texture from the paper and the mud. If you want those perfectly flat, high-end walls that look like a sheet of glass, you need a Level 5 Drywall Finish (Smooth Finish).

This is the highest grade of finishing there is. We apply a thin skim coat over the whole surface so when the light hits it from those big mountain windows, you don't see any shadows or imperfections. It’s a lot of work, but for a modern home in Walnut Mountain, it makes all the difference in the world.

Drywall Taping and Mudding

This is where the magic happens. If your Drywall Taping and Mudding isn't done right, you’re gonna see every single seam in your wall once the paint goes on. We see a lot of DIY jobs where the tape is peeling or the mud is too thick.

We use the right mesh or paper tape for the job and apply multiple coats, sanding carefully between each one. It’s a dusty job, but we make sure to keep your house clean while we get those joints invisible.

Drywall Joint Compound Application

Choosing the right mud is a big deal. For Drywall Joint Compound Application, we use different types of mud depending on if we are doing the first coat or the final skim. In our humid Ellijay summers, using a "hot mud" that sets fast can be a lifesaver to keep a project moving. We make sure the compound is mixed perfectly so it doesn't shrink too much and leave a dip in your wall.

Drywall Texture Application

Sometimes you don't want a flat wall. A good Drywall Texture Application can hide a lot of small bumps in an older house and add some nice style. We can do anything from a light mist to a heavy hand-troweled look. We've done a lot of work in the cabins around Cherry Log where a bit of texture really fits the rustic mountain vibe.
