This Ballwin, MO home has an open main floor with a vaulted ceiling and a skylight section, which means every wall and ceiling plane is visible from everywhere else. Damaged drywall and a tired finish had nowhere to hide.
What we did
- Drywall repairs on the damaged sections, skim-coated and sanded so the patches disappear under paint instead of telegraphing through it.
- Full prep across the main floor walls and the skylight ceiling section.
- Two coats on walls and ceiling, with clean lines where the vaulted ceiling meets the walls.
The result
A noticeable refresh throughout the open living areas, with no trace of the earlier damage. Open-plan homes reward careful prep more than any other layout, because a single rough patch is visible from the kitchen, the living room, and the stairs at once.
