What separates Level 4 from Level 5 on Cavanagh walls?

A Level 4 finish coats the seams and screws; a Level 5 finish skims the entire Cavanagh surface flat. Level 5 is worth it in Cavanagh where critical light, gloss paint or dark colours would reveal flaws a Level 4 hides.

Is Level 5 necessary on all Cavanagh walls?

No — flat-painted Cavanagh walls generally do well at Level 4. We tell you which Cavanagh walls genuinely need Level 5 (feature walls, critical light, gloss paint) so you are not paying for skim coat where it will not show.

Can you skim my existing walls to Level 5 in Cavanagh?

Yes. We can skim existing walls — including ones with knockdown and orange peel on these recent builds — flat to a Level 5 finish, ready for premium paint, rather than replacing them.

How do Level 4 and Level 5 differ for Cavanagh projects?

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

Do you stand behind your Level 5 work in Cavanagh?

Yes. We walk every Cavanagh 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 Cavanagh?

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.

Level 5 Drywall Finish Cavanagh

Level 5 drywall finish in Cavanagh for flawless walls

Gloss paint, dark walls or critical light in an Cavanagh room will expose every seam, fastener and roller mark in an ordinary finish. What makes an Cavanagh wall read flawless is Level 5: a complete skim over the whole surface. In Cavanagh we apply Level 5 finishes for new builds, renos and feature walls where the finish has to be perfect. Cavanagh is an established south Edmonton community of 1960s-70s homes where ceiling stipple, settling cracks and dated texture are common, so the demand here is usually for premium finishing before high-end paint. We cover Cavanagh, Allard, Ambleside, Blackburne and Southwest, 7 days a week.
