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

Level 4 is the right choice for most Laurier Heights 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 Laurier Heights 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 Laurier Heights

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

Our Laurier Heights drywall taping and mudding process, step by step

Three coats, proper drying time, then the sanding pass

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

Sand and feather

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