Sanding without damaging the board

Over-sanding is a real defect

Sanding through the compound into the board paper raises the fibres, and that patch will show through paint as a rough halo.

Technique over pressure

Thin, wider coats mean less sanding is needed at all. A finisher who applies heavy coats and then sands hard leaves a wall covered in paper burn that only appears once primed.

Our Breckenridge Greens, Edgemont, Glastonbury, Granville, Hawks Ridge, Kinglet Gardens Level 4 finishing process, step by step

Tape and first coat

We tape every seam with mesh or paper tape in your Breckenridge Greens, Edgemont, Glastonbury, Granville, Hawks Ridge, Kinglet Gardens home and apply the embedding coat, then coat every screw and nail head.

Build, sand, finish

We apply a second and third coat over the seams and fasteners, widening each pass so it feathers into the surrounding board, then sand the whole surface smooth. See our renovation drywall work in Breckenridge Greens, Edgemont, Glastonbury, Granville, Hawks Ridge, Kinglet Gardens if the space needs more than finishing.

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 West Henday Edmonton 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 West Henday Edmonton 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.

Primer is still part of the job

Not only for Level 5

A Level 4 West Henday Edmonton 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.
