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.

Drywall Taping & Mudding Patricia Heights

Taping and mudding so the Patricia Heights wall reads as one piece

The Patricia Heights finish stage takes bare board to a finished room — seams smooth, corners crisp, joints gone under paint. In Patricia Heights we tape and mud new construction, renovations and repairs to the finish level the job calls for. Patricia Heights is an older Jasper Place community where settling cracks, aging texture and the occasional plaster repair come up, so the finishing work here is steady.

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

Level 4 is the right choice for most Patricia 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 Patricia 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 Patricia 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 matters in Patricia Heights rooms with large windows where light rakes across the surface, open-concept main floors, and rooms taking flat or semi-gloss paint. When we walk a Patricia Heights job site and see that kind of window exposure, we will tell you honestly which rooms are worth the upgrade.
