Yes — Kenilworth walls are sanded flat, edges feathered, and left primed-ready so paint goes on flawless. Every Kenilworth skim gets a raking-light check before we finish.

What is a Level 5 finish?

The full-surface skim is what makes Level 5 in an Kenilworth home — far beyond taped seams and spotted screws. It is the highest drywall finish level and the one worth doing in Kenilworth where critical light, gloss paint or a feature wall would show every flaw.

Surface condition and finish level

The cost of skim coating in Avonmore, Bonnie Doon, Capilano comes down to the size of the area, the condition of the existing surface (a lightly textured wall takes fewer coats than one with heavy knockdown or old wallpaper glue), and the finish level — a true Level 5 for critical light is more skim work than knocking down a rough patch. We assess on site and give a fixed price before we start.

Level 5 skim coating in Kenilworth

When a Level 5 finish is worth it

A Level 5 finish — a full skim coat over the entire surface — is worth it in Kenilworth 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 Kenilworth 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 Kenilworth homes — quicker, tidier, better value.
