Can you skim over existing texture in my Wellington home?

Yes. In most Wellington homes we can skim straight over knockdown on newer streets and stipple on the older ones to bring the wall or ceiling back to flat, rather than removing it — faster, cleaner and usually better value.

What is a Level 5 finish?

The full-surface skim is what makes Level 5 in an Albany, Athlone, Baranow home — far beyond taped seams and spotted screws. It is the highest drywall finish level and the one worth doing in Albany, Athlone, Baranow where critical light, gloss paint or a feature wall would show every flaw.

Level 5 skim coating in Wellington

When a Level 5 finish is worth it

Our Wellington skim coating process, step by step

Prep and the first skim coat

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