What is a Level 4 drywall finish?

A Level 4 finish is the industry-standard residential finish — taped joints and three coats of compound over seams and fasteners, sanded smooth and ready for flat or eggshell paint.

Is Level 4 enough for most rooms in Country Hills Village?

Yes — Level 4 is right for the great majority of walls and ceilings under standard paint. We also cover Saddle Ridge, Martindale, Taradale and every Calgary quadrant.

What is the difference between Level 4 and Level 5?

Level 4 coats the seams and fasteners; Level 5 adds a full skim coat over the entire surface for a dead-flat finish under critical light. Most rooms only need Level 4.

Do you finish new construction to Level 4 in Country Hills Village?

Yes — Level 4 is our default finish spec for new builds, additions and basement developments in Country Hills Village unless a Level 5 area is called for.

Can you finish a Level 4 wall to match my existing walls in Country Hills Village after a renovation?

Yes — we blend new Level 4 finishing into existing walls so there is no visible seam once painted.

Should we upgrade our builder-grade Country Hills Village walls to Level 5?

If you use strong or angled lighting, yes — Level 5 keeps walls flawless under light. For standard finishes a well-done Level 4 is plenty; we'll advise based on your space.

What affects the cost of a Level 4 finish in Country Hills Village?

Our Country Hills Village Level 4 finishing process, step by step

Tape and first coat

We tape every seam with mesh or paper tape in your Country Hills Village 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 Country Hills Village if the space needs more than finishing.

Level 4 vs Level 5 in Country Hills Village — 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 Country Hills Village.

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.
