Finest Finish drywall sanding services for flawlessly smooth surfaces.
Drywall sanding is a critical step in drywall installation or repair. If the drywall sanding isn’t done properly, any imperfections will show up when your walls are painted with a flat or gloss paint. Unfortunately, many drywall contractors skimp on or worse — skip — this step because it is messy and time consuming. It also takes a good amount of expertise, developed only with time and practice, to achieve a perfectly flawless smooth surface.
Finest Finest has years of experience with drywall sanding in Victoria B.C. Our attention to detail is exactly what is needed for a flawless finish. Our insistence on cleanliness ensures that your space is left as clean and dust-free once the job is done as it was before the drywall sanding started.
Dylan and the guys at finest finish are a delight to work with. The whole process from start to finish was smooth and efficient. We really appreciated the amount of detail in the preparation to ensure our furniture and belongings were fully protected. They also offered a dustless sanding option for us that minimized the drywall dust throughout our kitchen renovation saving us so much clean up time! All in all great experience, highly recommend hiring!
Drywall sanding is important after hanging drywall to prepare for finishing in a new install and also when repairing drywall.
Preparing for Painting
Once drywall is hung, the next crucial step is to prepare the surface for painting. This process involves smoothing the joints with joint compound and filling any nail and screw indentations, as well as any nicks and scratches that may occur during installation. Despite the careful application of joint compound, it inevitably dries to a rough, gritty texture. Additionally, as the compound dries, it shrinks, resulting in hard edges and uneven spots on the surface. To achieve a perfectly smooth finish, the joint compound must be meticulously sanded. This ensures that the surface is uniform and ready for painting, providing a professional and aesthetically pleasing result.
Patching Holes
Drywall is durable, but it can still suffer damage from everyday activities. Common issues include picture hook holes, accidental impacts, house settling cracks, and water or moisture damage. These imperfections can be unsightly and detract from the overall appearance of a room. With expert filling and sanding, these damaged areas can be seamlessly repaired. The process involves carefully filling the holes or cracks with joint compound and then sanding the surface to blend it with the surrounding drywall. When done correctly, these repairs are virtually invisible, restoring the wall to its original smooth condition and maintaining the integrity of the interior space.
Ensuring a Smooth Surface
Proper sanding is essential to ensure a smooth and even surface on drywall. This step is critical not only for aesthetic reasons but also for practical ones. A rough or uneven surface can cause paint to apply unevenly, resulting in an unprofessional finish. Additionally, any imperfections left unsanded can be highlighted once the wall is painted, drawing attention to flaws that could have been easily corrected. By thoroughly sanding the drywall, you eliminate these potential issues, creating a flawless foundation for painting.
Enhancing Durability and Longevity
Sanding also plays a role in enhancing the durability and longevity of drywall installations and repairs. By smoothing the surface, you help to ensure that the joint compound adheres properly and maintains its integrity over time. This reduces the likelihood of cracks or other issues developing in the future, preserving the quality and appearance of the wall for years to come.
Improving Adhesion
For areas that will be painted or have wallpaper applied, sanding is crucial for improving adhesion. A smooth, even surface allows paint or wallpaper to adhere more effectively, resulting in a more durable and visually appealing finish. This is particularly important in high-traffic areas or spaces exposed to moisture, where a strong bond is essential to prevent peeling or other issues.
Dry sanding is a critical technique used to smooth the rough surface created by joint compound application on drywall. This method is particularly effective in the hands of an experienced drywaller, as it can produce the smoothest and most flawless finish. However, dry sanding is notorious for generating a significant amount of dust, which can be a major concern during the process.
At Finest Finish, we use the appropriate equipment and techniques to achieve the best results while minimizing dust. Our process includes:

EXCELLENT Based on 63 reviews Tristan WTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Finding good contractors can be a challenge, but when you do, it's a great feeling. Finest Finish is one of those rare finds. Dylan and Colten are incredibly communicative, always taking the time to explain the process and staying mindful of costs. What started as a stressful situation with water damage quickly became a smooth, efficient repair experience, completed with meticulous attention to detail. Once the job was done the work area was cleaned to perfection, a testament to the care Dylan and Colten put into their work. It was a flawless experience from start to finish and thanks to Dylan I even found a new plumber that I'm similarly super happy with. I hope I don't need more drywall repairs in the future, but if I do, I know exactly who to call. BenKir KoppTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. On time, on budget. Excellent work done by friendly and thorough men and reasonably priced. Dylan and Colten did a super job patching holes from when we had plumbing redone. So glad we found them. They arrived when they said, and explained things well as they went along. Highly recommend Finest Finish!! Barbara SilvaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We contracted Finest Finish to drywall our detached garage that we are converting to a man cave/ pool house. Dylan is wonderful to deal with, very attentive and responds in a timely and professional manner. He gave us a starting date and a timeline and stuck to it. His crew was clean and professional. I can’t say enough positive things about our experience, from communication to the work done it was A+ experience. Even our flooring guy commented on how good the work was . Don’t hesitate to use Dylan and his crew - it’s great work at reasonable rates! anne bergmanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dylan and Colten and their team were all amazing. Excellent communication throughout the process, even in their high-stress events, made us feel so confident. The work we needed was sound buffering between the main house and the apartment below. They took care to protect the floor, and the furniture, explaining that the flooring we have is particularly susceptible to damage, thus the extra care. There were some fussy details that Finest Finish had no trouble taking care of and the paint job afterwards was impeccable. I highly recommend Finest Finish and would hire them again without any hesitation. Evan MasseyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My partner and I moved from Vancouver to Victoria last year and we have had on going renovations since purchasing our home. Since renovations have begun we've had to fire the previous two drywall companies we had hired due to lack of professionalism and sub standard quality of work. We then decided to contact Finest Finish and after our first meeting with Dylan and Colton I knew we finally found a reliable and trustworthy company to complete our renovations. We knew Finest Finish would be the right choice from us and we weren't wrong, they really went above and beyond and we couldn't be more thankful for all their hard work! It's safe to say Finest Finish is in a league of their own. Their attention to detail and and quality execution is second to none. These guys truly are the best we've dealt with on the island! Very happy with the work they did and would highly recommend to all of my family and friends, if your looking for piece of mind to get the job done right, look no further! Cara LightmanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The crew from Finest Finish painted our ENTIRE home when we first moved in over two years ago. They smoothed our ceilings and painted walls, trim, cabinets, doors, ceilings, a fireplace, banister, etc. It has all held up so well and can handle the wear and tear from our busy family of 4. We've referred them several times to friends as we were so pleased with their work! Highly recommend! (See before and after photos). Nadia TkachukTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great communication, professionalism and quality of work. Highly recommend. Pardeep singh GillTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. By far the best drywall contractor in Victoria. Exceptional time management, and unparalleled workmanship. Definitely look forward to many more projects together. Jessica CochraneTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Finest finish has provided prep, drywall and painting services. Shown high standards in workmanship, communication, and cleanliness . Highly recommended! Harvey KoffmanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Seven months ago, we hired Finest Finish to soundproof our bedroom ceiling. They did such a good job that we had Colten, Dylan and their crews back to do the rest of our apartment. Their professionalism and excellent communication skills continue to be a huge asset for them. Their trade skills and attention to detail are amazing. We can't recommend them highly enough! We hired Finest Finish to take down a bedroom ceiling, reinforce the joist/subfloor above, and insulate. They also added a layer of Sonopan, resilient channels, and drywall and then primed and painted. I've worked with contractors and renovators many times. I have never seen a team with greater competence and attention to detail. Dylan and Colten are excellent communicators, who followed through completely and did everything they promised, exactly on schedule. They call (and show up!) when they say. They take great pride in their work, and the finished product is indeed the finest. The rest of their team was equally good. Very highly recommended!Showing our latest reviews
