Taping and mudding in Olde Towne so the wall reads as one piece
We tape every joint in Olde Towne homes — three full coats of compound with proper drying time between each, sanded flat and feathered. Olde Towne is Okotoks's historic core, where the housing stock is older, so the taping work here is usually settling cracks, aging stipple and the odd plaster repair. We cover Olde Towne, D’Arcy, Crystal Shores, Drake Landing and the Okotoks area, 7 days a week.

Our Olde Towne taping and mudding process, step by step
Three coats, proper drying time, then sanding
Every job in Olde Towne starts with the tape coat, then the fill coat, then the finish coat — each only after the last is fully dry. Skipping drying time is the most common reason taping jobs crack or telegraph through paint.
Sanding and feathering
We sand flat and feather the compound past each joint so there is no ridge under paint, even under raking light in your Olde Towne home.
Level 4 vs Level 5 — which does your Olde Towne home need?
Level 4 is right for most walls
Level 4 — taped joints, three coats, sanded smooth — is the standard for most walls painted in eggshell or satin in Olde Towne.
When Level 5 is worth the upgrade
Level 5 adds a full skim coat over the entire surface and matters in rooms with large windows, raking light or flat/gloss paint. We tell you honestly which Olde Towne rooms are worth the upgrade.
Common taping and mudding situations in Olde Towne
Wall changes and updates
New board around wall changes and updates needs to be taped and feathered into the surrounding Olde Towne walls at the same Level 4 standard.
Older joints showing through fresh paint
After enough years, raking light sometimes reveals joint ridges that were always there but invisible under old paint — a Level 5 skim solves it permanently.
Why Olde Towne homeowners trust Emplastrum for taping and mudding
