You hung the board in your Orland Park basement or bonus room, and we finish it so it looks professional under paint. We fix what the hanging left behind before the first coat goes on.
A lot of homeowners can hang drywall, and taping and finishing is where a do-it-yourself job usually stalls. We take it from there: we tape every seam and inside corner, set bead on the outside corners, and lay on three coats feathered wide and sanded between each. Before any of that, we go over the board for screws that broke the paper, gaps that need filling and edges that do not line up. A level 4 finish suits most of these rooms, and we tell you if a wall needs more.
Orland Park is on our regular route, with I-80, LaGrange Road, 159th Street and Wolf Road covering most of the trip, and we work the rest of southwest Cook County around it. If you framed and hung a basement over a few weekends, the board is often fine and the details are what need help: a gap at the floor, a butt joint that missed a stud, a screw that sank too deep. We fix those first, because tape over a loose edge cracks later. You keep the work you already did and still get walls that take paint evenly.
Every sheet looked over for loose edges, torn paper and screws set too deep or too proud.
Wide gaps filled with setting compound so the tape has a solid bed.
Paper tape bedded in flat seams and creased into every inside corner.
Bead set on corners, soffits and window or door openings.
Coats spread wider each time and sanded smooth between them.
Walls left clean and ready for primer, or primed if you want us to do it.
We look at the board you hung and leave a free written estimate that lists the prep, the taping and the finish level. If a sheet needs to come down or a corner needs re-hanging, that goes in writing with a price, and nothing happens until you approve it. Then we set the visits around drying time and book around the days we said. You walk the room with us at the end, before paint.
