It is the correct specification for smooth walls, critical lighting, and any paint sheen above eggshell. **Best for**: Critical lighting areas, modern smooth wall design, and high end repaint preparation ## Why bundling costs less Skim coating, sanding, and paint prep are sequential stages that share the same setup and containment. Bundling them removes duplicated mobilization and, more importantly, keeps one contractor accountable for the finished surface. ## What's Included - Assessment of which walls genuinely need Level 5 and which do not - Existing texture knocked down where present - Complete Level 4 joint work as the base - Full surface skim coat over every square foot - Full drying between passes - Fine sanding with HEPA extraction - Multi angle raking light inspection - Verified paint ready handoff ## Our Process 1. **Site Assessment**: We look at the whole scope at once rather than pricing each element separately. 2. **Bundled Written Scope**: One written scope covering every stage, with the finish level named and texture matching stated. 3. **Single Mobilization**: Protection, containment, and setup happen once rather than repeating for each separate visit. 4. **Sequenced Execution**: Stages run in the correct order with proper drying between them, which is where the time saving actually comes from. 5. **One Walkthrough**: The whole scope inspected and walked with you together at the end. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### Do all my walls need Level 5? Almost certainly not. A great room with a wall of glass needs it. A secondary bedroom with one small window and textured walls does not. We assess per room and price accordingly rather than applying one answer to the whole house. ### How do I know the skim coat was actually done? Hold a bright light almost flat against the wall before priming and sweep it along the surface. On a genuine Level 5 the plane reads uniformly. If you can see where the joints are as slightly different bands, the field was not skimmed. --- **Hanenburg Drywall** 12 Elksford Ave, Irvine, CA 92604 Phone: (949) 446-1300 Email: info@hanenburgdrywall.com Hours: Mon to Fri, 8:00am to 4:00pm Serving all of Orange County with no travel surcharge.
