Premium Multi-Coat Wall Finish in Glendale Heights, IL
Sanded between coats and painted multiple times for a wall that's genuinely flat, not just covered.
What this service is
This is the finish level for homeowners who want the wall itself to look done, not just painted — the surface is sanded, painted, sanded again, and painted again until the roller texture is gone and the wall reads flat under raking light. It's the same approach used on higher-end remodels where "good enough" isn't the goal.
This is the finish we bring to jobs where the budget and timeline allow for it — it's slower and more detail-heavy than a standard repaint, and it shows.

- A formal room or accent wall meant to be a visual focal point
- Higher-end remodels where every other finish is being upgraded

Premium wall finish questions
What makes this different from a normal paint job?
A normal paint job is prime and two coats over the existing wall texture. This finish sands the wall between coats and applies additional passes, so roller stipple and minor imperfections disappear and the surface reads flat under light from any angle.
How much longer does this take than standard painting?
Expect more time than a standard repaint — the sanding steps between coats are what create the finish, so we're not skipping them to move faster. We'll give you a realistic schedule at the estimate.
Is this finish worth it for every room?
It's most worth it in rooms where the wall itself is a focal point — a formal living room, a primary bedroom, an accent wall — rather than every wall in the house. We'll tell you honestly where it makes the most visual difference.
Do you use this finish in bathrooms or kitchens too?
It can go anywhere drywall does, but it's most requested in main living spaces and bedrooms where the wall is seen up close and in good light.
