Level 4 vs Level 5 drywall finish in Edmonton

When Level 4 is the right call

Level 4 is the standard residential finish and the right choice for most Edmonton homes — bedrooms, hallways and living spaces painted in standard sheens. It is a clean, smooth, paint-ready surface at the best value.

When Level 5 is worth it

Level 5 is a full skim coat over the Level 4, worth it where imperfections would otherwise show: large windows and raking light, glossy or dark paint, feature walls and flat ceilings. For a full breakdown, see our Level 4 vs Level 5 drywall finish guide.
