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

Level 5 Drywall Finish Fulton Place

Level 5 drywall finish in Fulton Place for flawless walls

Put gloss, a dark feature wall or hard light on a standard Fulton Place finish and every seam and screw announces itself. The full skim of a Level 5 is what gives Fulton Place walls that flawless read. In Fulton Place we apply Level 5 finishes for new builds, renos and feature walls where the finish has to be perfect. Fulton Place is an Southeast community with a mix of older homes and newer builds, so the demand here is usually for premium finishing before high-end paint. We cover Fulton Place, Avonmore, Bonnie Doon, Capilano and Southeast, 7 days a week.

Our Fulton Place Level 5 process, step by step

Prep and the full skim

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