Carry the specified Level 4 finish across the listed walls
Plans may name Level 4 without making it clear which rooms or surfaces receive that finish. Lighting direction and the final paint sheen also affect how the walls look once the coating is on.
Solis applies the specified Level 4 finish to the project areas, carrying the walls through the named finishing stage. Keeping coating notes and light conditions in view connects the drywall finish to the room's next paint step.
- Level 4 finish applied to the listed surfaces.

Level 4 drywall finish in Lakewood homes
When Lakewood's homes were built shapes what is behind the wall and which rules apply to the work.
- 3% Before 1940
- 20% 1940–1959
- 37% 1960–1979
- 25% 1980–1999
- 17% 2000 or later
- 1975Median year Lakewood homes were built
Half of Lakewood's homes were built before 1975 and half after. New walls in an existing home are finished to meet what is already there, so the home's age shapes the finish plan. U.S. Census Bureau, ACS 2020–2024, median year structure built
- 16.6%of Lakewood homes were built in 2000 or later
Newer homes are almost all drywall over wood framing, which keeps new work and the existing walls consistent. U.S. Census Bureau, 2020–2024 ACS 5-year estimates

Use Level 4 to describe the joint finish
Level 4 sets the treatment for joints, screw heads and corner bead under the chosen decoration, so the finisher and the painter share one definition of done. GA-214 describes the levels and where each fits, and we can price Level 4 with the hang or on its own once the board is up.
Keep the difference from Level 5 visible in the scope
Level 5 adds a skim coat across the whole sheet after Level 4. If you want it, it's named on the quote, since Level 4 doesn't include it. Plans and the finish schedule set the target, and the light and paint in the room tell you what to expect. When you're weighing both, we price them side by side.
Treat repairs and existing texture as separate prep
New board starts with joints to finish, while an older wall brings paint, texture and old repairs that need more prep. Level 4 is a finish on gypsum panels and doesn't remove texture or smooth a whole room, so repair, texture conversion, primer and paint each get a line in a remodel.
What follows the finish
Tell us the walls and ceilings getting Level 4, the paint or wallcovering planned, and whether we're doing it. The quote shows where our drywall work stops.

Does Level 4 include a skim coat over the full panel?
No. That skim over the whole sheet is what Level 5 adds.
Does Level 4 include primer or finish paint?
No. Texture, primer and paint are added only when the quote names them.
