As a crucial step in drywall installation that requires skill, precision and attention to detail, drywall taping is the process of covering the seams between drywall sheets with tape and joint compound to create a smooth, seamless finish. At Lord’s Contracting, we have a dedicated team of experienced and skilled professionals for drywall taping.

The first step in drywall taping is to apply joint tape over the seams between the drywall sheets. The tape is typically made of paper or fiberglass and our experts will apply it with a special drywall tape dispenser. Once the tape is in place, they will apply a thin layer of joint compound over the tape to fill in any gaps or imperfections.

After the joint compound dries, the next step is to apply a second layer of compound, commonly referred to as the fill coat, to fill in any remaining gaps or imperfections and create a smooth surface for the final coat. Once the fill coat becomes dry, we will sand the surface to create a smooth, even finish.

The final step in drywall taping is to apply the finish coat of the joint compound to create a seamless, smooth surface that is ready for paintwork or wallpaper. However, without proper taping, the seams between the drywall sheets would be visible and would appear as an uneven, unprofessional-looking surface. Note that our specialists will apply the finish coat in several thin layers, with each layer sanded smooth before the next one is applied.

You can prevent the formation of cracks and other potential damage to the walls and ceilings with our drywall taping service. The tape and joint compound act as reinforcement for the drywall sheets, helping to distribute weight and prevent cracks from forming. This is particularly vital in areas that are prone to movement, such as around your windows and doors.

Drywall taping is an essential component of the finishing process for your upcoming construction or renovation work. A smooth, even surface is necessary for the application of paint or wallpaper, and proper taping ensures that the finished result appears professional and polished.
