About us

Level 5 is a family business, formerly known as Salgado Drywall, for over 35 years. After years under our father’s training and mentoring we have mastered the drywalling craft. We decided to do things right and become a licensed company. Still providing the same quality service but with the coverage to protect our customers. We are determined to continue our father’s legacy of craftsmanship by providing nothing but the best quality work and service to our customers.

Level 5 Drywall provides quality service to homeowners and contractors seeking a level 5 finish, our area of expertise. We also specialize in soundproofing, removing acoustic ceilings, electrical wire patching, water damage repair, matching existing texture, and skim coating old walls and ceilings to make them look like new again. From complete drywall work in a custom home to repairing a hairline crack, no job is too small!

WHY LEVEL 5

A level 5 finish is the highest caliber that can be achieved in drywall. Regardless of how skilled the tradesman is and how flat his seams, there is still a difference of texture between the drywall paper and areas where joint compound has been applied. If painting without applying a skim coat, drywall seams may photograph through the paint due to difference of texture. Therefore, by applying a skim coating over the entire surface any incidental imperfections in the drywalled area are filled.  This will insure the entire surface will be uniformly smooth across seams, fasteners, and drywall paper. It is highly recommended where high gloss paints and direct lighting or large windows are near. Critical lighting may include side-lighting from fixture or windows.

HOW IT WORKS

Choose the level based on the area and finish you need. We will also provide our expert advice based on our professional assessment. Give us a call for a free quote.

Joint tape is set with a thin layer of  joint compound at all joints and interior corners. Joints and fastener heads (nail, screws, accessories) do not need to be embedded with joint compound. Recommended use:  plenums above ceiling, attics, service corridors, elevator shafts, concealed and hidden areas.

As in level 1, all seams, angles, fastener heads, (nail, screws, accessories) and corner beads are covered with a thin coat of joint compound. The surface must be free from excess joint compound, but tool marks and ridges are acceptable. Recommended use: garages, warehouses, mechanical rooms,  and other storage areas.

As in level 2, joints, angles, and fasteners will receive an second coat. Joints, fastener heads and corner beads need two coats of joint compound at this level, whereas in level 2 you just need one coat. All surfaces including joint compound, shall be smooth and free of ridges. Recommended use: Where a heavy wall covering or medium to heavy texture will be applied over the wall surface.

Fasteners, joints, angles, and corner beads have a total of three coats. Joint compound has been sanded smooth, there cannot be any tool marks or ridges, and is ready to be primed and painted. A level 4 finish is used where flat paints and light textures will be applied. It is the most common type of finish and is considered the typical drywall level of finish. Recommended use: With flat paints or light textures finishes. Enamel, semi-gloss, and gloss paints not recommended for level 4 finish.

For a level 5 finish, a level 4 finish is achieved and then a thin skim coat is applied over entire surface. The skim coat can be a joint compound of a manufactured material specifically for this purpose. This skim coat is smooth and does not have any ridges or tool marks and is sanded in detail to a smooth finish.  Primer and paint must still be applied. Recommended use: For flat, enamel, semi-gloss, and gloss paints. Additional textures are not recommended.
