Level 4 is the standard for most Twin Brooks walls painted in eggshell or satin — taped joints, three coats, sanded smooth.

Seamless Twin Brooks walls — taped and mudded as one

We tape every joint in Twin Brooks homes — three full coats of compound with proper drying time between each, sanded flat and feathered. Twin Brooks homes from the 2000s and 2010s tend to have large windows and open-concept main floors where Level 5 is often worth the upgrade — the west-facing rooms in particular show every joint under flat or semi-gloss paint.

Level 4 vs. Level 5 — which does your Twin Brooks home need?

Level 4 is the right choice for most Twin Brooks 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 Twin Brooks 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 Twin Brooks

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