Drywall Contractors Near Denver Colorado

Each step of the drywall process is important for ensuring quality and durable final results. We believe the drywall finishing process is important whether it’s in your attic or in your well-lit living room. At Home Drywall & Painting, we ensure every level is completed the right way from start to finish. Here, we’ll explore each level of drywall finishes and where they are most suitable in your home.  Drywall Contractors Near Denver Colorado

Level 0

This level is used for temporary construction purposes, and/or when the final decoration is not yet known. It requires no drywall taping, drywall finishing, or accessories.

Level 1

Level 1 is used in areas that aren’t publically accessible, such as above false ceilings, in attics or garages where fire and noise resistance is still necessary. All joints and interior angles will have tape set in the joint compound (but won’t have excess joint compound). Level 1 finishing allows for tool marks and ridges.

Level 2

The joints and interior angles will have tape embedded in joint compound, then wiped with a joint knife. This leaves a thin joint compound coating over each joint and interior angle. Fastener heads and accessories will also be covered with a coat of joint compound, and no surfaces should have excess joint compound. Joint compound will be applied over the tape during the embedment process and is considered a separate coat of joint compound. Marks & ridges are acceptable. Level 2 can be used as a substrate for tile walls and ceilings, in garages, warehouses, and in areas where appearances aren’t the top priority.

Level 3

Joints & interior angles will have tape embedded in joint compound and an additional layer of joint compound on all joints and interior angles. Fastener heads and accessories will have 2 separate coats of joint compound, and all of the joint compound will be smooth without tool marks or ridges. The prepped surface is recommended to be coated with a drywall primer before the final finish application. Level 3 drywall finishing is a suitable base for heavy-medium paints or other thicker finishes.

Level 4

Level 4 usage is good for a standard household and many walls. It’s used with light or non-textured finishes. However, it isn’t ideal for harsh lighting conditions which could highlight minor flaws. Joints & interior angles will have tape embedded in joint compound, 2 additional coats of joint compound on all flat joints, and one separate coat over interior angles. Fastener heads and accessories will have three separate coats of joint compound, which should be free of tool marks and ridges. It’s recommended that the prepped surface is coated with drywall primer before the application of final finishes.

Level 5

All joints & interiors will have tape embedded in joint compound, two separate coats of joint compound on all flat joints, one separate coat over interior angles, and fastener heads and accessories will be covered with three separate coats of joint compound. A thin skim coat (acting as a final leveling agent to smooth the surface) of joint compound will be applied to the entire surface area, and the surface will be smooth and free of tool marks and ridges. The surface should be prepped with drywall primer before the application of finish paint. Level 5 is most suitable for harsh lighting conditions. Level 5 usage is good for gloss and completely non-textured surfaces. Suitable for smooth drywall texture.
