Once light rakes a rough or patched Michaels Park wall, every flaw shows — and painting over it sharpens the problem.

Michaels Park is an older Mill Woods and Meadows community where settling cracks, aging texture and the occasional plaster repair come up, so the work here is usually settling cracks, aging stipple and the odd plaster repair.

Level 5 skim coating in Michaels Park

When a Level 5 finish is worth it

A Level 5 finish — a full skim coat over the entire surface — is worth it in Michaels Park 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 Michaels Park 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. For Michaels Park walls it is faster, cleaner and usually better value than replacement.

Our Michaels Park skim coating process, step by step

Prep and the first skim coat

A flat finish in Michaels Park starts with prep — we scrape high spots, fill deep damage and prime glossy or porous areas so the skim coat bonds. Next, the Michaels Park wall takes its first full skim pass.

Coats, drying and the sand

Most later ridging or cracking traces to skipped drying time between coats. Coats built up as needed, a flat sand, edges feathered past the repair, and a raking-light check — the Michaels Park standard. A skim lives or dies by the light — so in Michaels Park we finish to the light.
