Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Level 5 finish?
It’s the highest quality drywall finish, involving a skim coat over the entire surface to equalize texture and porosity.
Do I need Level 5?
If you have critical lighting (windows at the end of a wall) or are using semi-gloss/gloss paint, Level 5 is highly recommended.
How messy is the sanding process?
We use dust-extracting sanders that capture up to 95% of the dust, keeping your site clean.
How long does compound take to dry?
Typically 24 hours per coat, depending on temperature and humidity.
Can you fix bad taping from a previous contractor?
Yes, we frequently do remediation work to fix cracking, bubbling, or visible seams.
