Our Expert Texturing, Mudding, Taping & Painting Services

Fort Smith Drywall SolutionZ delivers professional drywall finishing services to transform your walls and ceilings into flawless surfaces. Understanding Van Buren's climate challenges—with hot summers reaching over 100°F and occasional severe weather including the devastating F3 tornado of 1996 that damaged approximately 1,800 homes—we ensure our materials and techniques provide durability against these environmental factors. Our skilled craftsmen use premium materials and proven techniques to achieve superior results.


Drywall Mudding


  • Professional mudding creates the foundation for a perfect finish. We apply multiple coats of joint compound to cover seams, fasteners, and corners with precision.
  • Each layer is carefully applied to build up the surface gradually, ensuring proper drying time between coats.
  • We use high-quality setting compounds for repairs and all-purpose joint compound for finishing coats to achieve optimal durability and smoothness.
  • Our specialists pay extra attention to problem areas like inside corners and butt joints where proper mudding technique is crucial.


Taping and Sanding


  • We use fiber mesh and paper tape strategically to reinforce joints and prevent future cracking. Premium paper tape is applied to flat joints while fiber mesh tape provides extra strength in high-stress areas.
  • Our systematic sanding process uses progressively finer grits to eliminate tool marks and create seamless transitions.
  • In Van Buren's humid subtropical climate, which averages 45.4 inches of annual precipitation, proper joint reinforcement is critical to prevent moisture-related issues in your home. We employ dustless sanding equipment to minimize mess in your space while achieving professional results.


Applying Wall and Ceiling Textures


  • Choose from popular texture styles including orange peel, knockdown, and popcorn for your walls and ceilings.
  • Our texture matching expertise ensures repairs blend perfectly with existing finishes. We carefully adjust the mixture and application technique to match surrounding areas.
  • After the significant Arkansas River flooding in 2019 that affected many Van Buren properties with water damage, our team gained extensive experience matching textures in flood-restored homes across Crawford County. We use professional spray equipment to apply textures evenly across large surfaces.


Skim Coating for a Smooth Finish


  • Transform rough or damaged surfaces into perfectly smooth walls with our comprehensive skim coating service.
  • We apply thin layers of joint compound across entire wall surfaces to conceal minor imperfections and create a fresh canvas.
  • Many Van Buren homeowners in the historic downtown district, which dates back to 1845 when the city was incorporated, choose our skim coating services to restore character to older plaster walls while maintaining historical integrity. Our multi-step process includes careful sanding between coats to achieve a glass-smooth result.


Interior Painting


  • Your newly finished drywall deserves a perfect paint job. We use premium primers specifically formulated for new drywall to ensure proper adhesion.
  • Our painters apply even coats using professional techniques and top-quality equipment for streak-free results.
  • We offer color matching services and can recommend optimal paint sheens for different areas of your home.
  • Van Buren's elevation of 650 feet and proximity to the Arkansas River creates unique lighting conditions that can affect color perception, which we account for when recommending paint colors for your space. Professional masking and drop cloth placement protects your floors and fixtures throughout the painting process.
