Skim coating in Ogilvie Ridge for a flat, paint-ready finish

Rough, textured or patched Ogilvie Ridge walls betray every flaw once light hits them — and fresh paint only amplifies it. In Ogilvie Ridge we skim coat walls and ceilings to a flat, paint-ready surface, whether that is a full Level 5 finish before premium paint or flattening dated texture before a refresh. Ogilvie Ridge is one of Whitemud's newer communities, where fresh installation and first-year settling work are common, so the work here is usually first-year drying cracks and nail pops as the home settles. We cover Ogilvie Ridge, Aspen Gardens, Bearspaw, Blue Quill and Whitemud, 7 days a week.

Level 5 skim coating in Ogilvie Ridge

When a Level 5 finish is worth it

A Level 5 finish — a full skim coat over the entire surface — is worth it in Ogilvie Ridge 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 Ogilvie Ridge homes with stipple ceilings and the occasional skim-over of dated texture, we can skim straight over the existing texture to bring a wall or ceiling back to flat, rather than tearing it out. For Ogilvie Ridge walls it is faster, cleaner and usually better value than replacement.
