Shadow gaps do more than look modern—they hide trim lines completely at baseboards, window casings, and door frames, giving walls a clean, architectural, floating edge. We install precise shadow gap reveals for new construction, remodels, ADUs, and modern interiors, helping homeowners
achieve a minimalist, seamless, high-end finish.

This is what a shadow gap reveal looks like in a interior — a clean, recessed line where the wall meets the floor, with no visible trim or baseboard.
The same technique works around window casings — a flush, trimless reveal instead of a traditional visible frame.
A shadow gap isn’t just a design choice — it’s a precision detail. We frame
and finish the recess to a consistent depth along the entire run, so the
reveal line stays clean whether it’s at the floor, a window, or a door frame.
We mark the reveal line and confirm a consistent depth before any framing starts.
A recessed channel is built at the baseboard, window, or door line to hold the reveal.
Drywall is returned into the recess and finished as cleanly as the face of the wall.
We check the gap width top to bottom any variation is the first thing the eye catches.
The edge is sanded to a crisp, square line ready for paint.
Checked under the room's actual lighting before we call it done.
Most projects can be estimated from photos. When needed, we'll schedule an on-site walkthrough to confirm the scope.
You'll receive a realistic estimate with no hidden fees or surprise charges. If a site visit is needed, we'll schedule one before providing the final quote.
Once approved, we'll schedule your project and complete the drywall installation and finishing with the same crew—from the first sheet to the final walkthrough.
We follow the industry guidelines established in GA-214 (Gypsum Association) for Level 4 and Level 5 drywall finishes. Final surfaces are evaluated under normal lighting conditions after the compound has fully cured and the walls are ready for primer or paint.
Like all professional drywall contractors, we do not evaluate finishes using harsh side lighting, flashlights, or lights held directly against the wall. Extreme lighting can highlight minor surface variations that are not visible under normal everyday conditions and are not considered installation defects under industry standards.
If you have specific lighting conditions or premium finish requirements, we’re happy to discuss the appropriate finish level before work begins.
Yes — it works in an existing room, not just new construction. We open the wall along the reveal line, frame the recess, and finish it flush, then patch and blend the surrounding drywall. This detail reads best against a smooth wall — if yours is textured, we can match it, but the clean, architectural look is really built for a smooth finish.
Yes — framing the recess and finishing it flush is more labor-intensive than nailing up standard trim. We’ll give you a clear number at the walkthrough.
