Level 5 drywall finish in Dechene for flawless walls

Under critical light, gloss paint or a dark feature wall, a standard Dechene drywall finish betrays every seam, screw and roller mark. A Level 5 finish — a full skim across the entire Dechene surface — is what makes a wall read flawless. In Dechene we apply Level 5 finishes for new builds, renos and feature walls where the finish has to be perfect. Dechene is this established West Edmonton community where reno, repair and ceiling drywall are common, so the demand here is usually for premium finishing before high-end paint. We cover Dechene, Aldergrove, Belmead, Callingwood North and West Edmonton, 7 days a week.

Our Dechene Level 5 process, step by step

Prep and the full skim

A Level 5 finish in Dechene starts with a sound Level 4 base — seams taped, screws coated. Then a full skim goes over the entire Dechene 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 Dechene walls to before leaving them primed-ready.
