Tall walls and vaulted ceilings in your Burr Ridge home finished as cleanly as a standard room. We tape, coat and sand from the top of the wall down, with staging that puts the crew right at the joint.
The process for a two-story wall is the same as any other: tape, bead, three coats, sanding between and primer. What changes is how many seams there are, how much of the wall you see at once, and how we reach the top. We set up scaffolding or planks so the crew works at the joint instead of stretching off a ladder, because a long reach is where knife marks come from. Where a vaulted ceiling meets the wall at an odd angle, we use flexible corner tape so the line stays straight.
Burr Ridge sits in DuPage and Cook counties, and it is on our regular route off I-55, County Line Road and Route 83. If your Burr Ridge house has a two-story foyer or a great room with a vaulted ceiling, those walls tend to get light from tall windows and get seen from a balcony or a stairway. Viewed from above and lit from the side, a level 4 can still show its joints. On those surfaces we often suggest a level 5 skim and explain why before you decide.
Seams on tall walls taped and finished from staging so the work is done at arm's length.
Joints along the slope taped and feathered so the ceiling plane stays flat.
Flexible corner tape on the angles where vaults and walls meet.
Returns around tall windows beaded and finished so the sides run straight.
A skim coat over high-visibility walls when the light calls for it.
Finished walls and ceilings primed and ready for paint.
A free on-site visit comes first, and the written estimate covers the rooms, the staging needed to reach the high walls, and the finish level for each surface. When something changes, like a decision to skim the foyer after seeing it at level 4, we write up the added work with its price and you approve it first. The scaffolding stays up through the coats, and visits follow the drying time on the days we set with you. Before we break down the staging, we look over the high walls together so nothing gets missed up top.
