Straight corners, crisp window returns and seams that disappear under paint. We tape and finish new drywall in Hoffman Estates additions and new rooms.
An addition or a new room brings a lot of outside corners with it: window returns, soffits, half walls and the openings into the older part of the house. Each one gets corner bead, set straight and plumb, then coated so the edge reads crisp under paint. You can pick square bead for a sharp edge or rounded bullnose for a softer look, and we keep one profile through the room. The flat seams get paper tape and three coats, sanded between, so the walls come out as clean as the corners.
Hoffman Estates is on our regular route, off I-90 and Route 59, with Higgins Road, Golf Road and Barrington Road getting us to the job. If your Hoffman Estates addition ties into the existing house, the joint where the new wall meets the old one needs extra care, since the two structures can settle at different rates. We tape that joint with paper tape in setting compound and feather it wide, which gives it the best chance of staying closed. Inspections are worth planning for too, because an addition permit can call for one before the board is covered.
Square or bullnose bead on every outside corner, set plumb and coated to a crisp edge.
Drywall returns around new windows taped, beaded and finished so the trim or sill lands square.
The joint where an addition meets the original house gets paper tape in setting compound, feathered wide.
Curved openings get flexible bead and careful coats so the curve stays even all the way around.
Paper tape on the seams, three coats on everything, sanded between coats.
Surfaces cleaned and checked with a side light before we hand the room back.
We visit, look at the hung board and the corners, and write an estimate listing the rooms, the bead profile and the finish level. If we find framing that is out of plumb at a corner, we show you and price the fix before we bead over it. Drying time between coats is built into the schedule, and we book around the days we said. At the end we sight down each corner with you and look at every wall in raking light.
