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.

What is the difference between Level 4 and Level 5 finish on a Wedgewood Heights wall?

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

Do you skim coat over old texture or after wallpaper removal?

Yes — we skim-coat walls and ceilings flat over old stipple and texture, and after wallpaper removal. It is one of the most common ways Edmonton homeowners modernize a dated room to a smooth, paintable finish.

Do you leave Wedgewood Heights walls primed-ready?

Yes. We sand flat, clean the dust and walk every Wedgewood Heights job with you before we pack out. Your painter can start the next day. Any Wedgewood Heights issue gets a return trip and a fix.

Do you cover all of Edmonton for taping and mudding?

Yes — we cover all four Edmonton quadrants, Edmonton, Aldergrove, Belmead, Callingwood North, Edmonton and surrounding communities, 7 days a week. The only exception is downtown high-rise towers, which require working-at-heights permits and building access we do not carry.

Renovation additions and wall blending in 1960s and 1970s Wedgewood Heights homes

When an Wedgewood Heights homeowner opens up a wall or adds a room to a home built in the 1960s and 1970s, the new board sits against original plaster or drywall. We tape the seam, feather wide and match the existing finish so there is no visible transition between old and new. Reno additions in Wedgewood Heights homes from this era are a regular part of our work in Wedgewood Heights, Aldergrove, Belmead, Callingwood North and the surrounding area.

Basement finishing in Wedgewood Heights — taping new board on an older structure

Unfinished or partially finished basements in Wedgewood Heights homes from the 1960s and 1970s often have board up but never taped. We tape everything from scratch to Level 4 and leave every Wedgewood Heights basement finish paint-ready and consistent from floor to ceiling.

Our Edmonton taping and mudding process, step by step

Tape coat, fill coat, finish coat

Every taping job in Edmonton follows the same disciplined sequence: embed the tape in the first coat over every joint and corner, a wider fill coat once it is dry, then a final finish coat feathered out wide so the joint disappears into the board. Each coat must dry before the next — rushing the coats is what causes cracks and shadows later.

Sanding and checking under light

We sand smooth with dust control, then check every wall and ceiling under raking light before we call it done. Light is what reveals a bad finish, so light is what we finish to. The taping is not done until it looks right under the same light your paint will see.
