Level 5 skim coating in Queen Mary 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 Queen Mary 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 Queen Mary Park homes with knockdown and orange peel on these recent builds, we can skim straight over the existing texture to bring a wall or ceiling back to flat, rather than tearing it out. For Queen Mary Park walls it is faster, cleaner and usually better value than replacement.

About Queen Mary Park

Lying just north of the City's business district in what was once the old Hudson Bay Company Reserve, this inner-city neighbourhood was not fully developed until the 1950s.

Our Queen Mary Park skim coating process, step by step

Prep and the first skim coat

A flat finish in Queen Mary Park starts with prep — we scrape high spots, fill deep damage and prime glossy or porous areas so the skim coat bonds. Next, the Queen Mary 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 Queen Mary Park standard. A skim lives or dies by the light — so in Queen Mary Park we finish to the light.
