Level 4 Drywall Finishing is the Standard at MudCo

Achieving a quality level 4 drywall finish requires a skilled and experienced contractor who understands the process. Level 4 drywall finishing is one of the most popular options. It provides a smooth, professional finish that is common in residential and commercial projects.

Level 4 drywall finishing is a process that involves applying multiple coats of joint compound to the seams and screw holes of the drywall. These multiple coats use varying consistencies of compound coupled with appropriate dry times, followed by sanding in preparation for priming. The result is a smooth, even surface that's free of imperfections, such as seams and nail/screw holes. This type of finish is ideal for walls and ceilings that will be painted or covered with wallpaper.

Optional Level 5 Drywall Finishing

Level 5 drywall finishing is the highest level of finishing available. It provides a completely smooth, flawless, flat surface with no visible seams, bumps or ridges. Level 5 finishing is ideal for high-end residential and commercial projects.

This level of finishing is typically used in areas where the lighting is particularly bright or where there is a high degree of scrutiny, such as in high-end homes, museums, or art galleries.

Level 5 drywall finishing is achieved by applying a skim coat to the entire drywall surface after performing a level 4 finish.

Achieving a quality level 5 drywall finish requires a high level of skill and experience, as well as the use of specialized tools and materials.
