What is a Level 4 drywall finish?

Level 4 is what East Lakeview Shores residential work calls for — joints taped, three coats on seams and fasteners, smooth-sanded for flat or eggshell.

Is Level 4 enough for most rooms in East Lakeview Shores?

Yes — nearly all East Lakeview Shores walls and ceilings with standard paint do well at Level 4. We also cover Chestermere Station, Westmere, East Lakeview Shores and every Calgary quadrant.

How do Level 4 and Level 5 differ for East Lakeview Shores projects?

The difference in East Lakeview Shores: Level 4 treats seams and fasteners; Level 5 skims everything for flatness under harsh light. Most rooms only need Level 4.

Do you finish new construction to Level 4 in East Lakeview Shores?

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

Can you finish a Level 4 wall to match my existing walls in East Lakeview Shores after a renovation?

Yes — the new-to-old transition on East Lakeview Shores walls disappears once our Level 4 blend is painted.

Can you match texture after a repair in East Lakeview Shores?

Yes -- texture matching is core to what we do. We recreate the surrounding stipple, knockdown or hand-texture so a patch blends into the original East Lakeview Shores wall or ceiling seamlessly.

What affects the cost of a Level 4 finish in East Lakeview Shores?

Our East Lakeview Shores Level 4 finishing process, step by step

Tape and first coat

We tape every seam with mesh or paper tape in your East Lakeview Shores 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 East Lakeview Shores if the space needs more than finishing.

Level 4 vs Level 5 in East Lakeview Shores — 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 East Lakeview Shores.

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.
