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

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

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

Level 4 is the right choice for most Holyrood 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 Holyrood 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 Holyrood

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 Holyrood rooms with raking light, open layouts, or flat and semi-gloss finishes. When we walk an Holyrood job site and see that kind of window exposure, we will tell you honestly which rooms are worth the upgrade.

Why Edmonton homeowners trust Emplastrum for taping and mudding

The finish is our specialty, not an add-on

Most crews treat finishing as the fast last step. We built the company on it. Every wall is feathered, sanded and checked under light, because the finish is the part you see for the next twenty years. The boarding can be perfect and a rushed finish still ruins the look — so we do not rush it.

Our Holyrood drywall taping and mudding process, step by step

Three coats, proper drying time, then the sanding pass

Every taping and mudding job in Holyrood starts with the tape coat — embedding paper or mesh tape into a thin base layer over every joint, inside corner and fastener head. On Holyrood walls the fill coat sits flush with the board. The Holyrood finish coat comes after complete fill drying. Skipping drying time is the single most common reason taping jobs in Holyrood homes crack, bubble or telegraph through paint. It is not rushed in Holyrood.

Sand and feather

Dried, then pole-sanded flat with edges feathered far past each Holyrood joint — no ridge even under sharp light. We tidy the Holyrood dust and leave the room primer-ready.
