What is a Level 5 finish?

Common skim coating situations in Scona Edmonton

Refresh and repaint prep

Most skim coating calls in Scona Edmonton come right before a repaint — it is the moment homeowners notice every bump, patch and bit of old texture. We skim the walls flat so the new paint goes onto a clean, even surface and the whole room reads as renovated.

After repairs and renovations

We also skim after drywall repairs, wallpaper removal and renovations — flattening everything from fresh-build settling cracks to aging texture and blending new work into old so there is no visible line once it is painted.

What affects the cost of skim coating in Allendale, Argyll, Belgravia, CPR Irvine, Empire Park, Garneau in Edmonton?

Surface condition and finish level

The cost of skim coating in Allendale, Argyll, Belgravia, CPR Irvine, Empire Park, Garneau 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 Scona Edmonton

When a Level 5 finish is worth it

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