Finish levels explained for Royal Gardens

Level 4 — the standard for most walls

Level 4 coats the seams and screws flat and smooth, correct for most Aspen Gardens, Bearspaw, Blue Quill walls under flat paint.

Level 5 — for critical light and gloss paint

Level 5 adds a full skim coat over the entire surface, worth it in Aspen Gardens, Bearspaw, Blue Quill where light, gloss paint or dark colours would show flaws a Level 4 hides. See our Level 5 finish page.

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.

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

Level 4 is the right choice for most Royal Gardens 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 Royal Gardens 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 Royal Gardens

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 Royal Gardens 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 an Royal Gardens job site and see that kind of window exposure, we will tell you honestly which rooms are worth the upgrade.
