Drywall Taping & Finishing in Hanover Park, IL

Taping, finishing and texture matching in Hanover Park

Texture does not hide bad taping, it only changes where you see it. So the new board gets the full treatment first: seams taped, fasteners covered, three coats feathered and sanded. Then, if the rest of the room has texture, we match it on the new surface, whether it is orange peel, knockdown or a hand-troweled pattern. We test the texture on a scrap of board before it goes on your wall, so the pattern and the size of the spatter come out right.

We work in Hanover Park every week, coming in on Irving Park Road, Barrington Road and Lake Street, on both the Cook and DuPage sides of town. If your Hanover Park house has textured ceilings and you are adding a room, closing in a stairwell or replacing a section of ceiling, the new board has to pick up that pattern. A plain new ceiling beside a textured one shows at every doorway. We match the texture and blend its edges into the old so the line between them goes away.

Drywall Taping & Finishing by ONIT Solutions

Finishing and texture work in Hanover Park

Full finish under the texture

Seams and screws taped and coated three times before any texture goes on.

Orange peel and knockdown

Sprayed textures matched for pattern, size and spacing to the surface beside them.

Hand textures

Trowel and brush patterns reproduced by hand where the existing wall or ceiling has one.

Sample before the wall

We spray or trowel a test piece first, so you see the match before it goes on the house.

Blended edges

The new texture is feathered into the old at the edges so no border shows.

Ready for primer

Textured surfaces left clean and ready for a primer that evens out old and new.

How a texture-matching job runs

We look at the new board and the texture it has to match, then write an estimate covering the taping, the texture and the visits. If the old texture is loose, or has been painted over so many times it will not blend cleanly, we explain the options and price them on paper before going ahead. Taping coats dry before texture goes on, and texture dries before paint, so each step is scheduled with the drying in mind. The last visit is a walkthrough under the room's light, looking at the blend from every doorway.

FAQ

Drywall Taping & Finishing in Hanover Park: questions

Can you match my knockdown ceiling?

In most cases, yes. We spray a test board first to dial in the pattern, then apply it to the new ceiling and blend it into the old.

Do you still tape if the ceiling is getting textured?

Yes, fully. Texture over poor taping still shows the joints, and the tape is what keeps the seams from cracking.

What towns near Hanover Park do you cover?

We also tape, finish and texture drywall in Schaumburg, Bloomingdale and Carol Stream.

Does Hanover Park need a permit for this?

Finishing and texture alone usually do not. Adding a room or new framing typically does, and we check with Hanover Park's building department before work begins.

How long does finishing plus texture take?

Several visits over a few days, since the coats and the texture each have to dry. Text a photo of the existing texture to (815) 585-1750 and we can tell you what we see.
