What is the difference between Level 4 and Level 5 finish on an Terrace Heights wall?

Level 4 is the standard for most Terrace Heights walls painted in eggshell or satin — taped joints, three coats, sanded smooth. Level 5 adds a full skim coat over the entire Terrace Heights wall for rooms with large windows, raking light, flat paint or open-concept spaces where every imperfection shows. We walk the Terrace Heights space and tell you honestly which rooms need the upgrade.

Our Terrace Heights taping and mudding process, step by step

Tape every seam

In Terrace Heights we tape all seams and corners first, bedding the tape so it does not bubble or crack later.

Coats, drying time and sanding

We apply mud in coats with full drying time between each, sanding flat and feathering the edges well past the seam, then check under raking light before we call it done.

Finish levels explained for Terrace Heights

Level 4 — the standard for most walls

Level 4 coats the seams and screws flat and smooth, correct for most Avonmore, Bonnie Doon, Capilano 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 Avonmore, Bonnie Doon, Capilano where light, gloss paint or dark colours would show flaws a Level 4 hides. See our Level 5 finish page.
