Hello. I have over 40 experience as a drywall taper. I am heathy and fit. I have experience with all taping finishes... trim tex, paper tape, mesh fiber tape, No Coat corner bead application, corner beads. My work is best I can do..... I finish and skim coat EVERYTHING....3 coats ...nails, corners, etc. I pre fill first...then paper tape everything. I "vee" the butt joints and make sure my pre fill is perfect....repairing everything I need to at first. FINISHING....I scuff sand with 120 grit...everything down to smooth...then skim coat everything. Then final sand with 150 paper and light check everything. I make sure my work is quality...is why I work on my own. I also specialize in drywall taping repair work and enjoy the challenge of making damaged walls new again. I have my drywall stilts ticket and GST and all paper work. I have a vehicle and can travel. I enjoy working and do the best job possible. ...and prefer piece work. But I do NOT sacrifice quality. And I work on my own and can work weekends if need be. But if you want super fast work and quality does not matter, then sorry...please discard this now. Thank you
