What Kensington does to drywall
Kensington houses move with the seasons, and they crack in the same places every year: over doorways, at window headers, and where ceilings meet walls. Filling those cracks does nothing — they reopen the following summer.
We rout them out and reinforce them with the tape suited to that joint, and where the movement is structural rather than cosmetic we say so instead of selling the same repair twice.
What we are called for here
- 01 Recurring settlement cracks routed and reinforced
- 02 Hand texture matching on period walls
- 03 Ceiling repairs after re-roofing and rain intrusion
What a Level 5 finish includes in Kensington
A skim coat is a whole-surface job, not a joint job. The entire plane gets coated so compound and paper face take paint identically — which is the only way a wall stays flat under raking light.
Substrate first
Joints taped and filled, fasteners spotted, beads set true. The skim is only ever as flat as what sits under it.
Skim the whole plane
A thin coat pulled edge to edge across the surface, not just over the seams.
Cut and read
Sanded flat, then checked under a raking light from the angle the room will actually be lit.
Level 4 where it fits
Level 4 specified where lighting and sheen do not demand a full skim — we will say so rather than sell the upgrade.
Full detail on method, materials and timelines is on the skim coating and Level 5 page.
Drywall Installation
Hanging is the quick part.
