Seamless Silver Springs walls — taped and mudded as one

We tape every joint in Silver Springs homes — three full coats of compound with proper drying time between each, sanded flat and feathered. Silver Springs is one of NW Calgary’s oldest communities with homes from the 1970s and early 1980s. Renovation additions and basement finishing against original board are the most common taping situations here. We work across Silver Springs, Ranchlands, Dalhousie and Scenic Acres and the surrounding communities, 7 days a week.

What affects the cost of drywall taping and mudding in Silver Springs?

Square footage, finish level and corners in Silver Springs homes

The cost of taping and mudding in Silver Springs comes down to four things: total square footage of board, the finish level (Level 4 standard vs. Level 5 skim is pricier in Silver Springs), plus corner and archway counts and any ceilings, bulkheads or vaults. We measure on site and give you a fixed price before we start — it does not change.

Housing in Silver Springs — 1970s and early 1980s

Silver Springs is one of NW Calgary’s oldest communities with homes from the 1970s and early 1980s. Renovation additions and basement finishing against original board are the most common taping situations here. Removal is a frequent Silver Springs request, and the age of the ceiling decides how that work is approached.

Our Silver Springs drywall taping and mudding process, step by step

Three coats, proper drying time, then the sanding pass

Every taping and mudding job in Silver Springs starts with the tape coat — embedding paper or mesh tape into a thin base layer over every joint, inside corner and fastener head. On Silver Springs walls the fill coat sits flush with the board. The Silver Springs finish coat comes after complete fill drying. Skipping drying time is the single most common reason taping jobs in Silver Springs homes crack, bubble or telegraph through paint. It is not rushed in Silver Springs.

Sand and feather

Dried, then pole-sanded flat with edges feathered far past each Silver Springs joint — no ridge even under sharp light. We tidy the Silver Springs dust and leave the room primer-ready. Where Silver Springs still has stipple, we check how many coats are on it before deciding to match or remove.

Level 4 vs. Level 5 — which does your Silver Springs home need?

Level 4 is the right choice for most Silver Springs walls

Level 4 — taped joints, three coats, sanded smooth — is the standard for most interior walls painted in eggshell or satin. It is what your Silver Springs home should have been delivered at possession. If you are painting in a standard sheen and your lighting is normal, Level 4 is what you need.

When Level 5 is worth the upgrade in Silver Springs

Level 5 adds a full skim coat over the entire wall surface — not just the joints — so the wall is one uniform texture. Large-window Silver Springs rooms, open-concept spaces and flat or semi-gloss paint are where it matters. When we walk a Silver Springs job site and see that kind of window exposure, we will tell you honestly which rooms are worth the upgrade.

Taping and mudding work we do in Silver Springs

Renovation additions and wall work in 1970s and early 1980s Silver Springs homes

When a Silver Springs homeowner opens up a wall or adds a room to a home built in the 1970s and early 1980s, the new board sits against original plaster or drywall. We tape the seam, feather wide and match the existing finish so there is no visible transition between old and new. Reno additions in Silver Springs homes are a regular part of our work and the blending is something we are known for.

Basement finishing in Silver Springs — new board on old structure

Unfinished or partially finished basements in Silver Springs homes from the 1970s and early 1980s often have original drywall nailed up but never taped. We assess what is there — butt joints, ceiling perimeter, inside corners — and tape everything from scratch to Level 4. We leave every Silver Springs basement finish paint-ready and consistent from floor to ceiling.

Why Silver Springs homeowners trust Emplastrum for taping and mudding

Taping is what we do

For most crews a Silver Springs job ends with a rushed skim; for us the finish is the point. For us it is the entire job. The quality of the joint, the flatness of the finish coat, the seam that disappears under paint is what our reputation is built on across Silver Springs and every community we serve in Calgary.
