CHOOSE THE RIGHT SYSTEM

Level 4, Level 5
or existing-wall smoothing?

Level 5 adds a thin skim across the entire gypsum-panel surface after Level 4 treatment. Smoothing an existing painted wall is a separate surface-specific decision.

Finishing approaches to discuss in the estimate
ApproachWhat it means
Level 4 treatmentUSG generally associates Level 4 with flat paint or light texture. It does not recommend that level with non-flat or dark paint, or critical side lighting.
Level 5 finishA thin skim over the entire gypsum-panel surface after Level 4 treatment, then selected primer and decoration. It minimizes panel and joint differences.
Existing-surface smoothingPreparation and smoothing chosen for the actual paint, texture, repairs and substrate. It is not automatically a Level 5 system.

No finish level guarantees perfect appearance in every light. Discuss intended lighting and paint sheen.
