Primer is still part of the job

Not only for Level 5

A Level 4 Fulton Place wall has compound at the joints and board paper everywhere else, which is exactly the condition a drywall primer-sealer exists to even out.

Skipping it

Painting straight onto a Level 4 wall exaggerates the very joint banding people complain about. It is the cheapest step in the whole sequence and the most commonly cut.

Common Level 4 situations in Fulton Place

In Fulton Place, fulton Place sits in Edmonton's Southeast district. Named for the creek which runs through the ravine on its west boundary, Fulton Place lies east of the downtown core and developed in the 1950s. Across roughly 940 homes here, the drywall work is plaster and lath repair, popcorn and stipple ceiling removal, careful patching into original surfaces. We cover Fulton Place and the surrounding Southeast district, 7 days a week. That is the standard on every job here, big or small — on-site quote, fixed price.

What Level 4 actually specifies

Joints and fasteners, done properly

Level 4 means tape embedded and two separate coats over all joints and interior angles, plus three coats over fastener heads and bead, then sanded smooth.

The standard for most rooms

It is the normal specification for a painted Fulton Place wall and, executed well, it is what the large majority of a house should be. Most disappointment attributed to 'only Level 4' is actually Level 4 done badly.

Dust control during finishing

Sanding is the messy stage

Even joint-only sanding in an occupied Fulton Place home puts fine dust into the air that settles through the house.

What we do

Vacuum-assisted sanding where the job allows, sealed openings and covered furnace returns. It is slower than open sanding, and it is the difference between one room being worked on and the whole house needing cleaning.

Why Level 4 sometimes disappoints

Light, not level

A properly executed Level 4 Fulton Place wall can still show faint bands at the joints under strong raking light, because paint sits differently on compound than on board paper.

The honest conversation

That is a lighting issue, not a workmanship one, and the answer is Level 5 on that specific wall. We would rather explain the difference at the quote than have it discovered after painting.

What affects the cost of a Level 4 finish in Fulton Place?

Area and number of coats

Level 4 finish cost in Avonmore, Bonnie Doon, Capilano depends mainly on the square footage of walls and ceilings — the process is the same three-coat standard throughout. We measure and give a fixed price before we start.

Where Level 4 finishing comes up in Avonmore, Bonnie Doon, Capilano homes
