Area and surface condition

The cost of a Level 5 finish in Bonnie Doon depends on the area, the condition of the existing surface, and how much skim work it takes to reach dead-flat. A Level 5 is more material and labour than a standard Level 4 because the entire surface is skimmed, not just the seams and screws.

Where Level 5 is worth it in Bonnie Doon

The calls here are usually feature walls, critical-light rooms and high-end repaints. In Bonnie Doon we split the spec honestly: walls that deserve Level 5, walls fine at Level 4, and no charge for invisible skim.

Our Bonnie Doon Level 5 process, step by step

Prep and the full skim

A Level 5 finish in Bonnie Doon starts with a sound Level 4 base — seams taped, screws coated. Then a full skim goes over the entire Bonnie Doon surface, filling the texture between seams into one flat plane.

Coats, sanding and light

The skim builds in fully-dried coats, gets sanded flat and feathered, then checked under raking light — the same light your gloss or dark paint will throw. Light reveals a finish, so light is what we finish Bonnie Doon walls to before leaving them primed-ready.
