This process typically involves using a variety of tools, including a putty knife, a taping knife, and a sanding block.

Application of Joint Compound — We begin by applying a coat of joint compound to the drywall surface, using a putty knife to spread it evenly. We then use a taping knife to apply a second coat, feathering it out towards the edges.
Taping and Mudding — Next, we apply a layer of mesh tape to the seams and corners, followed by a coat of joint compound. We use a sanding block to smooth out the surface, and then apply additional coats as needed.
Sanding and Smoothing — After the joint compound is dry, we use a sanding block to sand the surface to a smooth finish, using progressively finer grits of sandpaper to achieve a high-quality finish.
Final Inspection — Finally, we inspect the finished surface to ensure it meets our quality standards, making any necessary touch-ups with a small brush and a can of touch-up joint compound.
