Tired of That Orange Peel Texture? We Can Fix That.

Most Phoenix homes built before 2010 have orange peel, knockdown, or skip trowel texture on the walls. It was standard at the time. But tastes have changed — smooth, flat walls are the modern look, and more homeowners every year are making the switch.

A skim coat is the professional solution. We apply a thin, even layer of joint compound over your existing textured walls, sand it flat, and leave you with smooth, paint-ready surfaces throughout your home. No drywall replacement needed. No mess from scraping. Just clean, modern walls.

What We Can Do For You

• Single room skim coat — one bedroom, a living room, a hallway
• Whole-house smooth wall conversion — every wall and ceiling in the home
• Ceiling skim coat — smooth out textured or popcorn ceilings
• Remodel prep — skim coat after renovation work to unify wall surfaces before paint
• Level 5 finish — the highest drywall finish standard, used in high-end homes with flat or gloss paint

The Skim Coat Process

1. Protect floors, trim, and furniture with drop cloths and plastic
2. Apply first coat of joint compound across all wall surfaces
3. Allow to dry completely (typically overnight)
4. Sand smooth and apply second coat where needed
5. Final sand to a flat, uniform finish
6. Prime all surfaces — walls are ready for paint

How Much Does a Skim Coat Cost in Phoenix?

Pricing depends on square footage, number of rooms, ceiling height, and the heaviness of the existing texture. As a general reference:

• Single room — typically $500–$1,200
• Whole house (1,500–2,500 sq ft) — typically $2,500–$6,000
• Larger homes or Level 5 finish — quoted on scope
