Premium Architectural Finishes
A premium, ultra-smooth finish designed for modern interiors, LED strip lighting, wall washers and strong natural light. Full-surface skim coating minimizes visible joints and texture differences for a refined, paint-ready appearance.
Visualize the difference
A full-surface finish creates a more consistent appearance, especially in spaces with architectural LED lighting and strong natural light.

The Level 5 Difference
Standard drywall repairs fix localized damage. Level 5 finishing treats the entire surface with a continuous skim coat over a properly prepared Level 4 base. The goal is a more uniform, smooth finish, especially where LED strips, wall grazing lights, large windows or satin and glossy paints reveal imperfections.
Level 5 improves surface uniformity but cannot guarantee that all framing irregularities or shadows disappear under extreme grazing light. Substrate correction, primer, painting and drywall installation are priced according to scope.
Typical Investment
Indicative ORVUM planning ranges — not a binding quote. Pricing is per square foot of actual wall or ceiling surface, not floor area.
| Scope | Planning range |
|---|---|
| Level 5 finishing on prepared drywall (walls) | $3–$4.50 / sq ft |
| Premium LED-critical walls / complex prep | $4.50–$6+ / sq ft |
| Ceilings, high walls, difficult access | Custom estimate |
Small jobs may require a minimum project charge. Drywall hanging, major leveling, texture removal, primer and paint are not automatically included. Final pricing depends on existing surface condition, access, total area and lighting requirements.
