How do Level 4 and Level 5 differ for Carter Crest projects?

On Carter Crest walls, Level 4 stops at seams and fasteners while Level 5 takes a full-surface skim. Level 5 is worth it in Carter Crest where critical light, gloss paint or dark colours would reveal flaws a Level 4 hides.

Do you stand behind your Level 5 work in Carter Crest?

Yes. We walk every Carter Crest job with you under raking light before we pack up, and if something is not right we come back and make it right.

Can you skim my existing walls to Level 5 in Carter Crest?

Yes. We can skim existing walls — including ones with stipple on the older homes and knockdown on the newer ones — flat to a Level 5 finish, ready for premium paint, rather than replacing them.

Can you skim my existing walls to Level 5 in Carter Crest?

Level 5 Drywall Finish Carter Crest

Level 5 drywall finish in Carter Crest for flawless walls

Put gloss, a dark feature wall or hard light on a standard Carter Crest finish and every seam and screw announces itself. The full skim of a Level 5 is what gives Carter Crest walls that flawless read. In Carter Crest we apply Level 5 finishes for new builds, renos and feature walls where the finish has to be perfect. Carter Crest is an Whitemud community with a mix of older homes and newer builds, so the demand here is usually for premium finishing before high-end paint.

Our Carter Crest Level 5 process, step by step

Prep and the full skim

A Level 5 finish in Carter Crest starts with a sound Level 4 base — seams taped, screws coated. The full-surface skim follows on the Carter Crest wall, filling all texture between seams into one flat plane.

Coats, drying, raking light

We build coats with full drying time, sand and feather flat, then test under the same raking light your dark or gloss paint will cast. The finish is judged by light, so Carter Crest walls are finished against it and left ready for primer.

Our Carter Crest Level 5 process, step by step

Prep and the full skim

A Level 5 finish in Carter Crest starts with a sound Level 4 base — seams taped, screws coated. Next the whole Carter Crest wall takes its full skim, levelling everything between seams into a single plane.

When a Level 5 finish is worth it in Carter Crest

Critical light and gloss paint

In Carter Crest, a Level 5 finish is worth it where there is critical side-light from big windows, high-gloss or satin paint, or dark feature-wall colours — all of which reveal flaws a standard finish hides under flat paint.

Skimming over existing texture

Where an Carter Crest wall already has knockdown on newer streets and stipple on the older ones, we can skim it flat to Level 5 rather than tearing it out — bringing a dated wall up to a smooth modern finish ready for premium paint.
