Drywall Mudding Services in Edmonton, AB

Innovation Drywall of Edmonton (Drywall Mudding SP)

Whether you’ve had drywall projects at home before or not, you may have heard about drywall mudding and how important it is for homeowners in Edmonton, Alberta to complete that process correctly. Overall, mudding and taping should get done whether you’re making a drywall repair or installation.


Once you finish taping and mudding drywall, it will ensure that all the seams between your drywall joints, as well as the panels themselves, are smooth and ready for texturing or painting. Not many homeowners consider taping and mudding that important, but keep in mind that if you don’t do this correctly, you could experience several problems with your home’s internal structure. For example, we often get the question “how long does drywall mud take to dry?” and this is a valid question because when mudding it’s a common mistake for DYI homeowners to continue the drywalling process when the mud is still wet, which causes issues with the structural integrity of the wall or ceiling.


Thankfully, our drywall mudding contractor at Innovation Drywall of Edmonton is ready and willing to go over the cost to tape and mud drywall at your property. If you want to ensure a nice, strong, and beautiful drywall on your ceilings or walls, make sure you’re working with a professional.

What Is Mudding on Drywall?

Overall, mudding is the process of creating a drywall compound that will go over the drywall panels once they’re set up. That compound is responsible for gluing the joint tape that keeps all of the panels together. Taping drywall joints ensures your walls and ceilings don’t fall apart or break easily. 


You could get your drywall perfectly in place, but if you don’t complete the mudding process correctly, your drywall panels will get exposed to harmful agents, and or/ create holes, cracks, and other issues that will weaken them over time.

How Many Panels of Drywall Do I Need?

It depends on the room and what you want to achieve. Some people, for example, request fire taping drywall services so that the panels are stronger. However, that process requires many more layers to provide that protection.


If you’re unsure of how many layers of mudding you will need, you can talk to our contractor, and they’ll gladly guide you through the process.

Is Mudding Drywall Necessary? 

Absolutely! Taping drywall corners and joints ensures your panels stay up right and last for a long time. While drywall panels eventually will break due to general wear and tear, mudding will ensure they don’t break as easily. 


On the other hand, if you’re repairing, drywall by filling in holes, dents, or popped nails, you also need mudding so that the problem gets fixed properly and doesn’t break down again within a few days.

What Is the Cost per Square Foot to Mud and Tape Drywall?

Whether you’re mudding/taping a drywall ceiling or wall, the cost to tape and mud drywall depends on the following factors:


  • Room size
  • Materials used
  • Workers’ fees
  • Amount of damage to the structure
  • Asbestos removal (if needed)

Our Frequently Asked Questions

  • What Are The Steps Involved In Drywall Mudding?

    Mudding is a complex, multi-layered process. There are many steps involved in achieving the flawless finish our team is known for. Here is an overview of how it works.


    1. First, the mudding compound must be prepared. There are a few different types- some premade and others in powder form. The first step in mudding is covering the nails and screws and filling the joints between drywall panels. 
    2. When all indentations are filled and levelled, the first layer of tape is applied on top. 
    3. We then replicate this process inside and outside the corners and along butt joints to secure and seal them before moving on.
    4. Next, we build. Depending on the structure and type of mudding, we will apply three to four layers of tape and mud.
    5. We leave it to dry, then sand it down until smooth and flat.

    When it is done, we can move on to covering and finishing.

  • Can I Do Drywall Mudding Myself?

    While you can try your hand at drywall mudding, it's important to keep in mind that mudding is a specialized and laborious process that demands experience and skill. Here are a few reasons to ditch the DIY project and entrust the project to a professional instead: 


    • Ensure a quality finish. If you don’t have any experience with drywall installation, you might want to leave the mudding to a professional. This will ensure that the job is completed to a high standard and that you’re left with a flawless finish. 
    • Save time and effort. The truth is that mudding can be a time-consuming and labour-intensive process. If you have a busy schedule, it’s best to entrust the task to a contractor.
