What is the difference between Level 4 and Level 5 finish on an Glenora wall?

Level 4 is the standard for most Glenora walls painted in eggshell or satin — taped joints, three coats, sanded smooth. Level 5 adds a full skim coat over the entire Glenora wall for rooms with large windows, raking light, flat paint or open-concept spaces where every imperfection shows. We walk the Glenora space and tell you honestly which rooms need the upgrade.

What is the difference between a Level 4 and Level 5 finish?

A Level 4 finish is three coats over taped joints and fasteners, sanded smooth — right for most walls in standard paint sheens.

Our Glenora drywall taping and mudding process, step by step

Three coats, proper drying time, then the sanding pass

Every taping and mudding job in Glenora starts with the tape coat — embedding paper or mesh tape into a thin base layer over every joint, inside corner and fastener head. The fill coat builds the Glenora surface flush with the board. The Glenora finish coat follows only after the fill is fully dry. Skipping drying time is the single most common reason taping jobs in Glenora homes crack, bubble or telegraph through paint. We do not rush it in Glenora.

Sanding and feathering — where flat walls are made

After the finish coat dries, we sand flat with a pole sander and feather the compound edges far enough past each joint that there is no ridge under paint, even when light rakes across the wall. We clean up the dust and leave the Glenora room ready for primer.

Post-possession Level 4 upgrades in Glenora

Glenora is one of the newer communities in the area and homeowners call us within the first year of possession regularly. Builder specification calls for Level 4 but the delivery is often Level 2 or 3. We confirm what was delivered, scope the rooms that matter most and bring the finish to what Level 4 actually looks like — joints invisible under paint, no ridges in raking light.

Basement partitions and flex room additions in Glenora

Even in newer Glenora homes, homeowners are already adding partitions, finishing basement spaces and converting flex rooms. We finish new-board additions to Level 4 and make sure corners, joints and ceiling perimeter tape match the finish level in the rest of the home.
