The 6 levels of drywall finish
Bare board
to glass.
Taped.
Tape set in joint compound and nothing more. It seals the joints. It is not meant to be looked at.
Level 1: attics, plenums, above ceilingsFirst coat.
A thin coat over the tape, and every screw head covered. Tool marks are still allowed.
Level 2: garages, storage, behind tileSecond coat.
Joints and fasteners get coated again. Flat enough to carry a heavy texture.
Level 3: walls getting heavy textureThird coat, sanded.
One more pass on joints and screws, then sanded smooth. The everyday standard for flat paint.
Level 4: flat paint and light textureSkim coat. Everything.
A full skim over the entire surface, joints and field alike. Nothing shows through gloss paint or low window light.
Level 5: gloss paint, big windows, long hallsKeep scrolling ↓

Hot mud
Ask about hot mud to speed up your project. It sets in minutes instead of drying overnight.

One of ours, mid-finish
A job site doesn't lie.
Anybody can show you a painted room. Here is one before the paint. Tap the pins and look close.
1
Beams wrapped first.
Exposed timber gets masked in film and tape before a single bucket is opened.
2
Joints floated wide.
Wide, feathered coats across the ceiling, so no seam shows once the paint is on.
3
Every screw spotted.
Each fastener head gets its own coats. Go ahead, count the white dots.
4
Scaffold, not shortcuts.
Vaulted ceilings get worked from rolling scaffold, up close, like any other wall.

On a deadline?
Ask about hot mud.
Regular joint compound air-dries, often overnight between coats. Hot mud sets by chemistry, in as little as 20 minutes, so coats can stack in one visit.
Regular mud overnight
Coat. Wait for it to dry. Come back tomorrow.
Hot mud minutes
Coat. Sets. Coat again. Same visit.
