Level 4 vs. Level 5 — which does your Carter Crest home need?

Level 4 is the right choice for most Carter Crest walls

Level 4 — taped joints, three coats, sanded smooth — is the standard for most interior walls painted in eggshell or satin. It is what your Carter Crest home should have been delivered at possession. If you are painting in a standard sheen and your lighting is normal, Level 4 is what you need.

When Level 5 is worth the upgrade in Carter Crest

Level 5 adds a full skim coat over the entire wall surface — not just the joints — so the wall is one uniform texture. It shows most in Carter Crest rooms with raking light, open layouts, or flat and semi-gloss finishes. When we walk an Carter Crest job site and see that kind of window exposure, we will tell you honestly which rooms are worth the upgrade.
