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

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 Leger?

Yes. We can skim existing walls — including ones with stipple ceilings and the occasional skim-over of dated texture — flat to a Level 5 finish, ready for premium paint, rather than replacing them.

Should every wall in an Leger house be Level 5?

No — Level 4 covers most Leger walls wearing flat paint. We tell you which Leger walls genuinely need Level 5 (feature walls, critical light, gloss paint) so you are not paying for skim coat where it will not show.

Does a whole Leger home need Level 5?

No — under flat paint, the typical Leger wall needs only Level 4. We tell you which Leger walls genuinely need Level 5 (feature walls, critical light, gloss paint) so you are not paying for skim coat where it will not show.

What is the Level 4 / Level 5 difference in Leger?

The Leger distinction: Level 4 coats joints and screws, Level 5 skims everything flat. Level 5 is worth it in Leger where critical light, gloss paint or dark colours would reveal flaws a Level 4 hides.

Level 4 vs Level 5 — what does it mean for an Leger home?

Level 4 treats Leger seams and screws — Level 5 skims the whole surface flat. Level 5 is worth it in Leger where critical light, gloss paint or dark colours would reveal flaws a Level 4 hides.

Level 5 drywall finish in Leger for flawless walls

Put gloss, a dark feature wall or hard light on a standard Leger finish and every seam and screw announces itself. The full skim of a Level 5 is what gives Leger walls that flawless read. In Leger we apply Level 5 finishes for new builds, renos and feature walls where the finish has to be perfect. Leger 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. We cover Leger, Aspen Gardens, Bearspaw, Blue Quill and Whitemud, 7 days a week.
