Luxury & Specialty Finishes
The highest standard of wall finish — perfectly smooth with zero imperfections.
Overview
Level 5 is the gold standard in drywall finishing — a full skim coat over the entire surface that eliminates every joint, fastener, and texture imperfection. It's essential for high-gloss paint, specialty finishes, and any space where lighting will expose even the slightest flaw. This labor-intensive process is the foundation for Venetian plaster, lacquer walls, and other premium finishes. When your walls need to be absolutely flawless, Level 5 is the only option.
Our Process
We evaluate existing wall conditions and determine the preparation required to achieve Level 5.
All joints, seams, and fasteners are taped and mudded to Level 4 standards first.
A thin layer of joint compound is applied over the entire surface — not just joints.
The skim coat is sanded smooth, then inspected under raking light for imperfections.
A final skim coat is applied and sanded to achieve an absolutely flawless surface.
Premium primer and your chosen paint are applied to the perfectly smooth surface.
