Over time, walls and ceilings naturally develop imperfections—cracks, dents, uneven textures, or rough patches that dull your home’s appearance. At Purely Paint, we specialize in skim coating and plastering services that restore interior surfaces to a flawless, paint-ready finish. Serving Long Island, Nassau County, Suffolk County, Queens, and Brooklyn, our team uses advanced tools and expert techniques to transform aged, damaged, or uneven walls into smooth, elegant surfaces that look like new again.
The Benefits of Skim Coating and Plastering
Skim coating and plastering are transformative techniques that do more than simply conceal imperfections—they completely rejuvenate your walls and ceilings. Skim coating involves applying thin, even layers of joint compound across the surface, filling in cracks, joints, and inconsistencies. Plastering, on the other hand, is used to repair deeper damage and restore strength and texture to older walls. Together, these methods ensure a flawless foundation for painting or wallpaper installation, creating a clean and professional finish every time.
When to Consider Skim Coating or Plastering
- Cracked, dented, or uneven walls
- Peeling or flaking paint
- Walls damaged by wallpaper removal
- Textured or popcorn ceilings you want smoothed
- Stains or moisture marks on plaster surfaces
- Older homes with rough or outdated finishes
These services are especially valuable after drywall repair or wallpaper removal, when walls often require additional smoothing before a fresh coat of paint.
Professional Expertise You Can Trust
Achieving a flawless skim coat or plaster finish requires true craftsmanship and patience—qualities that define every project completed by Purely Paint. With more than 40 years of industry experience, our team is equipped to handle everything from light resurfacing to complete wall and ceiling restoration. We use premium-grade compounds and plaster materials to ensure durable, even, and long-lasting results that resist cracking and peeling.
Our Commitment to Quality
We treat every project, large or small, with the same level of care. Our technicians inspect your walls, identify problem areas, and select the right materials for your surface type. Each layer is applied methodically, then sanded and smoothed for a perfectly uniform appearance. Once finished, your surfaces will be ready for any decorative finish—from subtle matte paints to high-sheen gloss or textured wallpaper.
Our Skim Coating & Plastering Process
We follow a meticulous, multi-step process designed to restore your surfaces and prepare them for lasting beauty and durability:
- 1. Inspection & Free Estimate: We begin with a comprehensive on-site evaluation to assess wall conditions and provide a free estimate that outlines the best restoration plan for your needs and budget.
- 2. Surface Preparation: We remove loose debris, repair holes or cracks, and clean the area to ensure proper adhesion.
- 3. Application: Using professional-grade compounds, we apply one or more thin layers across the surface with precision tools, leveling uneven areas and filling imperfections.
- 4. Sanding & Refinement: Once dry, we sand the surface to achieve a silky-smooth texture. This step eliminates visible seams and transitions.
- 5. Priming & Painting: After the final coat, we apply a quality primer and, if desired, finish with our expert interior painting services to complete the transformation.

What Our CUSTOMERS SAYS
Purely Paint just painted my brand new condo including the garage. They were fabulous and I couldn't be more pleased with their workmanship and their efforts to please me as their customer. I would give them 10+ stars if I could.
Father and son duo run quite a fantastic and skillful team. Mike took the time to go over every detail and helped me with deciding on wall colors for each room. The team painted the whole house (10 rooms total) within a week. The walls look amazing and I couldn’t be happier. Will use them for future projects and have already referred them to a few friends.
Highly recommend! We've used Michael and Team Purely Paint twice: 1) total interior last year and 2) outside back deck. They do great work and quote a fair price. More importantly - very professional, honest, trustworthy, have total integrity, and are super kind! 5 Stars!
The workers showed up on time, were clearly well prepared, were careful about our carpeting, and cleaned up completely. All imperfections were fixed on the second day of work (as was originally planned for). I would highly recommend using their services.
I was referred to Nino from Purely Paint by a friend after our long time painter moved. I called for an estimate for a job that my wife and I needed completed immediately. Nino responded right away and rearranged his schedule and came for an estimate the same day! They were extremely professional and reasonably priced.
They did an amazing job. Very friendly and professional. Explained how they were going to do everything. Showed up on time, left the house immaculate. Would definitely use them again. Highly recommend them.
