Frequently Asked Questions About Drywall Services

A Level 4 finish is the industry standard for most residential homes where a texture (like orange peel or knockdown) will be applied. It involves three coats of joint compound over joints and fasteners. A Level 5 finish is a premium service that includes a final skim coat over the entire wall surface. This creates a “museum-quality” smoothness, ideal for high-gloss paints and areas with intense, direct lighting.
