Level 4 drywall finish in Cityscape, the right standard for most rooms

Level 4 drywall finish in Cityscape, the right standard for most rooms

The Cityscape standard is Level 4: tape on the joints, three compound coats over seams and screws, sanded smooth for flat or eggshell paint. In Cityscape it is the finish level that suits the great majority of rooms. Cityscape is an NE Calgary community with a mix of older homes and newer builds, so Level 4 finishing here spans straightforward new-board work to blending into older, less consistent existing walls. We cover Cityscape, Saddle Ridge, Martindale, Taradale and every Calgary quadrant, 7 days a week.

What affects the cost of a Level 4 finish in Cityscape?

Area and number of coats

Level 4 finish cost in Cityscape depends mainly on the square footage of walls and ceilings — the process is the same three-coat standard throughout. We measure and give a fixed price before we start.

Where Level 4 finishing comes up in Cityscape homes

Level 4 finishing here spans straightforward new-board work to blending into older, less consistent existing walls. Basement development is common in Cityscape, and a basement behaves differently from the rest of the house — cooler, damper, and less forgiving of a rushed finish.

Our Cityscape Level 4 finishing process, step by step

Tape and first coat

We tape every seam with mesh or paper tape in your Cityscape home and apply the embedding coat, then coat every screw and nail head.

Build, sand, finish

We apply a second and third coat over the seams and fasteners, widening each pass so it feathers into the surrounding board, then sand the whole surface smooth. See our renovation drywall work in Cityscape if the space needs more than finishing.

Level 4 vs Level 5 in Cityscape — which does your project need?

Level 4 for most homes

Level 4 is the standard residential finish and the right call for most walls and ceilings painted in flat or eggshell in Cityscape.

When Level 5 is worth the extra

Feature walls, large windows with raking light, and glossy or dark paint can show flaws a Level 4 finish would hide under flatter paint — that is when a full Level 5 finish is worth the extra skim coat. Most of Cityscape went up recently enough that we are usually working against a builder's original finish rather than someone else's repair.

Common Level 4 situations in Cityscape

In Cityscape, cityscape is a community still building out. Homes there are current-build, so ceilings are typically knockdown and the work is new-build boarding and taping, basement development, and the first-season movement that shows up as a house dries out. That is the standard on every job here, big or small — on-site quote, fixed price.

Why Cityscape homeowners trust Emplastrum for Level 4 finishing

In Cityscape

What we tend to find in Cityscape

In a newly built Cityscape home the drywall has not yet been through a full winter, so we plan the level 4 drywall finish around settling that is still happening rather than settling that has finished.

Knockdown is the standard ceiling texture through Cityscape, which means the repair is judged on texture match as much as on whether the surface is flat.

In Cityscape we are often the second trade to look at a wall, so the first question is what the original finish actually was.
