How it’s done!
Three coats in total.
First coat: All drywall joints and corners are covered with Durabond. Paper tape gets applied to all the angles, and the corner beads get installed.
Second coat: Drywall compound is put on everything, left to dry, and then sanded.
Third coat: One last layer of compound is applied, and then, (this is where it gets messy!) the final sand.

FAQ
Do you hang drywall?
Yes, we have a very skilled crew that installs the drywall.
Isn’t drywalling taping?
In short, no. There are contractors with just drywall skills who hang the drywall, then typically you would require a Taper! Someone to come in and put mud (drywall compound) on to smooth out the walls and make them ready for paint!
What if I put up the drywall myself?
I hear this a lot. If you're not familiar with installing drywall then it’s best not to. More often than not it will create more work for me to come behind and tape. There is a particular way it must be installed to ensure the joints are correct.
About Matt Handspiker
My experience in drywall taping started 18 years ago when I began working for a small business. From there, I became employed with a larger contract company in the Halifax area and expanded my skillset and experience. I furthered my education when I went back to school to complete Aircraft Maintenance Engineering.
From my many years of experience, I understand the difficulty around renovations and the stress that comes along with finding a reliable contractor. Knowing all this I keep that in mind whenever pricing a job or committing to one. Ensuring I’m able to stay on budget and on time.
