Our Wedgewood Heights Level 5 process, step by step

Prep and the full skim

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