Level 5 smooth finish for bright Gig Harbor rooms
We apply a Level 5 drywall finish in Gig Harbor by finishing the joints and screws and then skimming the full face of the board. It's worth the extra work on broad walls and anywhere light grazes the surface.

Keep strong light from exaggerating wall transitions
Side light and a glossy sheen can reveal seams or uneven patches across a smooth wall or ceiling. A repair in one spot may not address how the broader surface looks when light travels across it.
For Level 5, Solis applies a full-surface skim with the room lighting and paint sheen in view. Treating the surface as a field carries the finish across the area instead of leaving one isolated patch to define the wall.

- A finish chosen with room light and paint sheen in view.

Level 5 drywall finish in Gig Harbor homes
When Gig Harbor's homes were built shapes what is behind the wall and which rules apply to the work.
- 2% Before 1940
- 2% 1940–1959
- 19% 1960–1979
- 30% 1980–1999
- 46% 2000 or later
- 1998Median year Gig Harbor homes were built
Half of Gig Harbor's homes were built before 1998 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
- 45.9%of Gig Harbor 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
Include the full-panel skim in the scope
Level 5 builds on the Level 4 joint and screw work by adding a skim over the entire board, so the broad face of every panel is part of the job. GA-214 gives everyone the same words for the result. We list the skim apart from hanging new board, repairing old walls and priming or painting, so you can see what you're paying for.
Review appearance under the room's actual light
A large window, a wall washer or a low ceiling light can show changes in the surface once paint is on. Level 5 is a specification, and no specification promises a wall that looks perfect from every angle. The Gypsum Association supports reviewing a sample under real site conditions, and we do that before carrying the same prep across every wall.
Separate a new-board finish from a smooth-wall conversion
New panels are a known starting point. A painted or textured wall may need a different plan, because old patches, the paint's condition and the existing pattern can push the work past the spot that bothers you. Tell us which rooms are new, which have texture, and where trim or openings make a natural stop.

Level 5 Drywall Finish questions in Gig Harbor
Does Level 5 hide every surface variation?
No finish level can promise that under every light. A sample under your room's own light sets what we're aiming for.
Does Level 5 include paint?
No. The level covers drywall prep. Primer and paint go in the quote when you want us to coat it as well.
