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. A Level 5 finish adds a full skim coat over the entire surface for a flawless look under glossy paint, raking light and on flat ceilings. We recommend the level your job actually needs.

For Ogilvie Ridge walls, what separates Level 4 from Level 5?

Level 4 suits most Ogilvie Ridge walls in eggshell or satin: joints taped, three coats, sanded. For unforgiving Ogilvie Ridge rooms — raking light, flat paint, open concept — Level 5 skims the entire wall. An Ogilvie Ridge walkthrough tells you honestly where the upgrade is worth it.

What affects the cost of drywall taping and mudding in Edmonton?

Square footage, finish level and condition

The cost of drywall taping and mudding in Edmonton comes down to total square footage, the finish level (Level 4 vs Level 5), and the starting condition — fresh board finishes faster than repairing failed taping or skimming over old texture. New full-home finishing, a basement, a single room and a re-finish are all priced differently. We measure on site and give you a fixed price before we start.

Level 4 vs Level 5 — what you are paying for

A Level 4 finish is three coats over taped joints and fasteners, sanded smooth — the right choice for most Edmonton walls painted in eggshell or satin. A Level 5 finish adds a full skim coat across the entire surface, eliminating any difference between board face and compound. Level 5 costs more because it is more material and labour, and it is worth it for glossy paint, large windows with raking light, and flat ceilings. We tell you which one your job actually needs — not every room needs Level 5.
