Level 5 skim coating in Rural North East South Sturgeon

When a Level 5 finish is worth it

A Level 5 finish — a full skim coat over the entire surface — is worth it in Rural North East South Sturgeon 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 Rural North East South Sturgeon 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. Compared with re-boarding, an Rural North East South Sturgeon skim is faster, cleaner and typically cheaper.

Coats, drying time and sanding

Rushed drying between coats is the top reason a skim shows ridges or cracks later. We build the coats an Rural North East South Sturgeon surface needs, sand flat, feather well past any repair, and check under raking light before calling it done. Light reveals a skim finish, so light is what we finish Rural North East South Sturgeon walls to.
