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.
- Finishing carried into the room's paint preparation.

Level 4 drywall finish in Olympia homes
When Olympia's homes were built shapes what is behind the wall and which rules apply to the work.
- 12% Before 1940
- 13% 1940–1959
- 23% 1960–1979
- 28% 1980–1999
- 25% 2000 or later
- 1982Median year Olympia homes were built
Half of Olympia's homes were built before 1982 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
- 24.8%of Olympia 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

Olympia lists building alterations or repairs among work that needs a permit, while painting and similar finish work is exempt. Exempt work must still meet code. City of Olympia, what do I need
Finish the joints, fasteners and corners
We embed tape, coat the joints and screw heads, finish the corner bead, and feather and sand to Level 4. The job starts when the board is hung and ends at the handoff you choose: primer, texture or paint.
Keep Level 4 separate from Level 5
Level 5 adds a skim over the whole panel and costs more. It belongs in the plans where it's needed, and Level 4 doesn't include it. We quote what the schedule calls for and show a Level 5 upgrade as an option.
Review the surface with its decoration
Sheen, texture, window direction and lights that graze the wall all change how a finished wall reads. If the project needs a mock-up, we finish one for review under the real lighting before we do the rest.
Finish schedule or room list
Send the finish schedule, or a list of rooms with their sizes and the paint sheen. We'll quote Level 4 and show what Level 5 would add where the light is harsh.
Level 4 Drywall Finish questions in Olympia
Does Level 4 include a skim coat over the whole panel?
No. The full skim is Level 5.
Does Level 4 guarantee a flawless painted wall?
No finish level does. Under the right paint and light, Level 4 looks smooth; strong side light can still show joints, and that's where Level 5 helps.
