What We Use

Products & Materials

The quality of a finished job starts with the quality of what goes into it. Here are the professional-grade products we trust on every project.

Drywall Taping Systems

Tape & Finishing Materials

Saint-Gobain ADFORS

FibaFuse® Paperless Drywall Tape

"FibaFuse® is the original paperless drywall tape. It is easy to install and creates stronger joints than paper tape. The porous design eliminates bubbles and blisters, allowing compound to flow through the tape for a stronger bond."

  • 76% stronger than standard paper tape
  • Open-fiber design eliminates blisters and bubbles
  • Thin profile for a smooth, professional finish
  • GREENGUARD Gold Certified
  • Ideal for mold-resistant drywall systems
Why we use it: Paper tape can blister and bubble when compound is applied too thin or in humid conditions. FibaFuse eliminates that failure point entirely — the compound flows through the tape and bonds directly to the drywall on both sides.

FibaFuse MAX Reinforced Tape

"FibaFuse MAX is an innovative, paperless drywall tape designed for professional renovators and remodelers. The blue reinforcement layer features a tri-directional construction that provides crack resistance in multiple directions and prevents accidental tearing of the tape on inside corners."

  • Blue reinforcement layer for maximum crack resistance
  • Tri-directional construction — resists cracking in all directions
  • Naturally mold and mildew resistant
  • GREENGUARD Gold Certified
  • Compatible with automatic taping tools
Why we use it: In high-stress areas — corners, transitions, water-damage repairs — we step up to FibaFuse MAX. The reinforced blue layer prevents the micro-cracking that shows up in finished walls years later.

ProForm Finishing Products

ProForm® Quick Set Lite™ Joint Compound

"ProForm® Quick Set Lite™ Setting Compound is a quick setting/hardening joint compound that is 30% lighter than conventional setting compound. It provides a lightweight, easy to sand finish for fast, smooth joint finishing, and is specially formulated to provide excellent joint strength, even in poor drying conditions."

  • 30% lighter than conventional setting compound
  • Sets by chemical reaction — not affected by humidity
  • Recoat immediately once previous coat sets
  • Reduces joint deformities such as ridging and beading
  • Excellent bond strength on all drywall surfaces
Why we use it: Pre-mixed compound dries by evaporation — humidity slows it down and causes shrinkage. Quick Set Lite hardens by chemical reaction, which means consistent results regardless of weather conditions and faster project completion.

Trim-Tex

Trim-Tex Fast Edge® Corner Bead

"Made of laminated paper over a vinyl core, Large Fast Edge Paper's patented mud locks keep the corner bead held firmly in place without the need for staples or adhesives, and its adjustable nose and wider legs allow it to conform to imperfect framing. This highly advanced bead gives you a quicker finish — while using the least amount of joint compound — over any other solution on the market."

  • Patented mud locks — no staples or adhesives needed
  • Adjustable nose conforms to imperfect framing
  • Requires less joint compound than standard bead
  • Faster installation with superior durability
  • Crisp, straight corners every time
Why we use it: Corners are the most visible part of any drywall job. Trim-Tex Fast Edge locks in place without fasteners, conforms to framing that isn't perfectly plumb, and requires less mud — which means less sanding and a cleaner result.

Primers & Sealers

Problem-Surface Primers

Rust-Oleum / Zinsser

Zinsser® Gardz® Problem Surface Sealer

"Lock down porous and crumbling surfaces with Rust-Oleum® Zinsser® GARDZ® Problem Surface Sealer. This low-odor, water-based formula dries to a clear, matte finish, creating a hard, paintable seal over damaged drywall, adhesive residues and other chalky surfaces."

  • Repairs torn paper on damaged drywall — eliminates bubbles
  • Seals skim coats, spackling, and old adhesive residue
  • Dries clear — doesn't change the surface appearance
  • Water-based, low odor, fast drying
  • Creates a hard, uniform base for paint
Why we use it: After water damage, the paper face of drywall often delaminates. Painting directly over it causes bubbling and peeling. Gardz penetrates and re-bonds the surface, creating a stable base that holds paint correctly.

Rust-Oleum / Zinsser

Zinsser® B-I-N® Shellac-Base Primer

"Looking for a 'silver bullet' primer that covers everything unwanted? Use the one contractors keep in their vans: Rust-Oleum® Zinsser® B-I-N® Primer. As the original, shellac-base primer-sealer, nothing is better at permanently blocking stains, odors and wood knots."

  • Permanently blocks severe water stains, smoke, and pet odors
  • Seals wood knots and sap streaks
  • Sticks to all surfaces without sanding
  • Recoat in 45 minutes — lightning-fast dry time
  • For interior and spot exterior use
Why we use it: Water stains and smoke damage bleed through latex primers — sometimes through multiple coats. B-I-N shellac creates a permanent barrier. It's the product we reach for when nothing else will hold the stain back.

STIX® Waterborne Bonding Primer

"Stix Waterborne Bonding Primer is a premium quality, waterborne, acrylic urethane primer-sealer with unparalleled adhesion to the most challenging surfaces, including glossy surfaces, ceramic tiles, and PVC."

  • Bonds to glossy, slick, and hard-to-coat surfaces
  • Low VOC waterborne formula — minimal odor
  • Excellent adhesion to previously painted surfaces
  • Dries quickly for fast recoat times
  • Ideal for interior surfaces requiring maximum grip
Why we use it: When we encounter surfaces where standard primers won't hold — glossy trim, oil-based finishes, or slick substrates — STIX grabs and holds. It gives us confidence that the topcoat will stay put for years without peeling.

Sherwin-Williams Pro Block® Primer/Sealer

"PrepRite ProBlock Interior Latex Primer Sealer is a fast-drying, interior latex primer designed for use on new drywall, cured plaster, wood, and previously painted surfaces. It provides excellent adhesion, sealing, and stain blocking."

  • Excellent stain blocking on water stains and tannin bleed
  • Fast drying — recoat in one hour
  • Seals new drywall and joint compound uniformly
  • Low odor latex formula
  • Provides a consistent base for topcoat adhesion
Why we use it: After drywall repair, the patched areas and surrounding surfaces absorb paint differently. Pro Block seals everything uniformly so the topcoat dries to a consistent sheen with no flashing or visible patch lines.

Why we use it: When water damage exposes wood framing to mold, the correct treatment is an EPA-registered fungicide — not bleach. Fiberlock ShockWave is specifically formulated for mold remediation on porous structural materials, including wood framing, where bleach is ineffective at the root level. It's the professional-grade product used by remediation contractors nationwide.

Finishing Equipment & Paint

Tools & Finish Coats

Festool USA

Festool PLANEX® Drywall Sander

"The new generation Festool PLANEX Drywall Sander revolutionizes drywall construction with its integrated LED light ring that reveals surface unevenness, and a random orbit sanding motion for perfect, groove-free finishes. Its adjustable suction power allows the sander to hold its own weight against walls and ceilings, significantly reducing strain on the user."

  • Integrated LED light ring reveals surface imperfections
  • Random orbit motion — no grooves or swirl marks
  • Adjustable suction holds sander against wall or ceiling
  • Nearly dust-free when paired with Festool dust extractor
  • Dramatically reduces airborne drywall dust in your home
Why we use it: Standard drywall sanding fills a home with fine dust that settles everywhere for days. The Festool PLANEX captures dust at the source, protects your home and our crew, and produces a flatter, more consistent surface than hand sanding. For smaller repairs and tight areas, we use Festool detail and random orbit sanders from the same system — the same dust-free approach, scaled to the job.

"This acrylic latex paint offers exceptional washability and coverage with a formula that hides dark colors, resists water streaking, and helps prevent stains from penetrating. This interior paint and primer in one contains anti-microbial agents that inhibit the growth of mold and mildew on the paint surface."

  • Exceptional washability — stands up to scrubbing
  • Built-in primer — superior hide in fewer coats
  • Anti-microbial agents inhibit mold and mildew on the surface
  • Resists water streaking and stain penetration
  • Available in thousands of colors with consistent results
Why we use it: Budget paints require more coats to achieve coverage and show wear within a year. Sherwin-Williams Emerald is the top of the Sherwin line — it covers in fewer coats, holds color longer, and cleans without losing sheen.

  • Excellent washability and stain resistance
  • Maintains color and sheen over time
  • Available for both interior and exterior applications
Why we use it: Duration is built for high-traffic areas and homes that take a beating — hallways, kids' rooms, kitchens. The cross-linking formula creates a harder film that resists scuffing and cleans without dulling.

Emerald® Urethane Trim Enamel

"Emerald Urethane Trim Enamel is a revolutionary waterborne alkyd that delivers the smooth, hard finish of an oil-based enamel with the convenience and low VOC of a water-based paint. It levels beautifully and resists yellowing over time."

  • Smooth, hard finish comparable to oil-based enamels
  • Excellent leveling — minimizes brush and roller marks
  • Resists yellowing, chipping, and wear
  • Low VOC waterborne formula — easy cleanup
  • Ideal for trim, doors, cabinets, and millwork
Why we use it: Trim, doors, and cabinets need a hard, smooth finish that holds up to constant contact. Emerald Urethane gives us the look and durability of oil-based paint without the fumes, long dry times, or yellowing that comes with traditional enamels.

Sherwin-Williams

Sherwin-Williams Premium Ceiling Paint

"Premium Ceiling Paint is a flat interior latex ceiling paint designed to provide a uniform, bright white finish. Its spatter-resistant formula allows for easy overhead application with minimal mess."

  • Ultra-flat finish hides ceiling imperfections
  • Spatter-resistant formula for clean overhead application
  • Bright white finish maximizes light reflection
  • Good coverage and hide over repairs and patches
  • Dries quickly with minimal odor
Why we use it: Ceilings show every imperfection. A dedicated ceiling paint with a dead-flat finish absorbs light evenly and hides the subtle texture differences between patched areas and original drywall — something wall paint in flat sheen cannot do as well.
