Drywall Finishes Explained – Why Level 5 Finish Is Worth It

When you walk into a room, the smoothness of the walls can completely change the feel of the space. That’s where drywall finishes come in. Many homeowners are surprised to learn that drywall isn’t “finished” the same way everywhere—there are different levels of finishing, and the choice you make can impact your results.

At Rubiny Drywall & Renovations, we specialize in Level 5 finishes, which provide the most flawless results for Connecticut homes and businesses.

The 5 Levels of Drywall Finishes

Level 0 – Drywall is hung but not finished. Used for temporary construction.

Level 1 – Tape is applied with joint compound. Common in garages or storage rooms.

Level 2 – Joints and screws covered with compound. Often used for tile backdrops.

Level 3 – Smoother finish, ideal if you’re applying heavy textures or wallpapers.

Level 4 – Standard finish for painted walls with flat or matte paint.

Level 5 – Premium finish with a skim coat applied over the surface for perfectly smooth, paint-ready walls.

Why Choose a Level 5 Finish?

Creates flawless walls that look perfect under bright lighting

Best option if you’re using glossy or semi-gloss paint

Ideal for luxury remodels, offices, and high-visibility areas

Hides seams, joints, and imperfections better than other finishes

Cost of Level 5 Drywall Finish in Connecticut

In 2025, Connecticut homeowners can expect to pay between $3.85 and $7.85 per square foot for a Level 5 finish. While it costs slightly more than Level 4, it offers a significant upgrade in quality and appearance.
