Depending on how bad your wall is, it may need 2 coats.


So they'll apply 1 coat, let it dry, come back and sand it, apply another coat, let it dry, and come back and sand it again.


This really depends on where you live.......... But probably $200-$300.

Something like that doesn't take very long really. The only hassle for them is that they have to come back a time or two since it takes so long to dry.. So they will probably charge by the ';job';, not by the hour. It would take maybe up to 2 hours to coat it the first time and up to 1 hour to sand it.


If the problem is only some slight dents, is it something you can do yourself? Or are they too severe? You can go to a hardware store and buy spackling and an applicator and put it on yourself and sand it off. But if it's a very big deal, then yes, you should hire someone.How much would it cost to get a skim coat on the wall done? To make the wall aligned for sheen paint.?
Virtually impossible to do. Use satin or eggshell, or live with the imperfections.
