Level 5 skim coating in Stony Plain

When a Level 5 finish is worth it

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

Our Stony Plain skim coating process, step by step

Prep and the first skim coat

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