Level 5 skim coating in Idylwylde

When a Level 5 finish is worth it

A Level 5 finish — a full skim coat over the entire surface — is worth it in Idylwylde where there is critical light, high-gloss or dark paint, or a feature wall that will show every imperfection. It is the highest drywall finish level and the one that holds up under raking light.

Skimming over existing texture

In Idylwylde homes with knockdown on newer streets and stipple on the older ones, we can skim straight over the existing texture to bring a wall or ceiling back to flat, rather than tearing it out. Skimming beats replacement in most Idylwylde homes — quicker, tidier, better value.
