Our Yankee Valley Crossing Level 4 finishing process, step by step

Tape and first coat

We tape every seam with mesh or paper tape in your Yankee Valley Crossing 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 Yankee Valley Crossing if the space needs more than finishing.

Level 4 vs Level 5 in Yankee Valley Crossing — 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 Yankee Valley Crossing.

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.
