All Five Finish Levels — L1 Through L5
We execute the full range of drywall finish levels recognized by the Gypsum Association. The right level depends on the surface use, the paint sheen, and the lighting — and we'll help you spec it before the rocker leaves the job.
Level 1: Fire Taping
Joints taped with compound, no finishing. For concealed areas above ceilings and in utility spaces.
Level 2: Standard Taping
Joints and fasteners covered with one coat. For garages and areas receiving heavy texture.
Level 3: Production Finish
Joints and fasteners with two coats, light texture. Standard for most production housing.
Level 4: Smooth Finish
Three coats, smooth sanded. For flat and low-sheen paints where surface imperfections show.
Level 5: Skim Coat Finish
Level 4 plus full skim coat. For high-end custom homes, high-gloss finishes, and critical lighting conditions.
