Taping, mudding, corner bead and sanding to a smooth paint-ready finish — high ceilings on scaffold and stilts — Helotes, Bexar County.
The tall entries and open great rooms going up on the hillside lots around Sonoma Ranch and Iron Horse Canyon do not finish themselves. Getting a smooth, paint-ready surface on a two-story wall or a tray ceiling means working from scaffold and stilts, taping and mudding every seam, running corner bead on every edge, and sanding it all down evenly before the painters can start. Alvarez Drywall does that finishing work - empastado - the same way whether it is a custom home above Bandera Road or a great room with an octagon ceiling like the ones in the photos on this site.
Out toward the newer subdivisions near Alamo Ranch and Loop 1604, the finishing has to move at a builder's pace without losing that smooth finish, because a rushed tape job shows through paint the same way on a production home as it does on a custom one. Juan has been taping, mudding, and sanding drywall around Helotes for 12 years, on scaffold in two-story rooms and on stilts along long hallway ceilings. A no-obligation quote for finishing work is one WhatsApp message away at (210) 505-1842.
A tray ceiling or a two-story wall in one of the custom homes around Helotes only looks finished if the taping and sanding underneath it were done from real scaffold and stilts, not rushed from a ladder.
