Our process

How a smooth wall gets made

Every perfect wall starts as bare board, screws and seams. Here is what happens before the first coat of paint.

Drywall ceiling with taped seams and screw heads spotted with joint compound
Step 1 · Levels 1 to 2

Tape and spot

Every seam is taped and every screw head is spotted with compound.

Finisher applying joint compound to a drywall seam with a wide knife
Step 2 · Levels 3 to 4

Coat and feather

Wider coats are feathered out over each seam until it sits flat with the board.

Finisher sanding a drywall wall with a pole sander
Step 3 · Level 5

Sand, skim, sand

Sanded smooth, then a thin skim coat goes over the entire surface and is sanded again.

Drywall finish levels

What Level 0 to Level 5 actually means

Drywall finishing is graded on six levels from the Gypsum Association's GA-214 standard. Each level adds work at the seams. Level 5 adds a thin skim coat over the entire surface, so the whole wall takes paint and light the same way.

What the wall looks like

Choose a level to see the wall

0

Hung only

Cut through the seam

Boards are screwed up. No tape, no compound.

Use: temporary walls

1

Tape set

Cut through the seam

Tape is set in compound at the seams. Tool marks are fine.

Use: attics, above ceilings

2

One coat

Cut through the seam

One coat over the tape. Screw heads are spotted.

Use: garages, under tile

3

Two coats

Cut through the seam

A second, wider coat on seams and screws.

Use: walls getting heavy texture

4

Three coats, sanded

Cut through the seam

Three coats feathered wide and sanded smooth. Seams can still show under strong side light.

Use: most homes, flat or eggshell paint

Our specialty 5

Full skim coat

Cut through the seam

Level 4, then a thin skim coat over the entire surface. Seams, screws and paper all disappear under one uniform face.

Use: big windows, cove lighting, dark or glossy paint

Why Level 5

Side light shows everything

When sunlight rakes across a wall from a big window, the taped seams and screw spots on a Level 4 wall can show through the paint. Painters call this flashing. A Level 5 skim coat removes it, which is the standard expected in high-end Caribbean villas.

Island conditions

Finishes built for Roatán

Homes on Roatán range from concrete block villas to classic wood houses on stilts over the water. Humidity, salt air and hurricane season change how the work has to be done.

Moisture-resistant board

Mold and moisture resistant drywall near AC lines, bathrooms and exterior walls.

Mildew-resistant primers

Primers and paints made to resist mildew in constant humidity.

Proper drying time

Compound gets full drying time in the humidity before skimming and priming, so finishes don't crack or shrink.

Sun and salt coatings

Coatings rated for UV and salt air on block, render and wood siding.

Color ideas

Find your island colors

Roatán homes wear every color, from bright Caribbean pastels to clean modern whites. Use these styles and palettes as a starting point, and we'll help you choose.

Bold repaints

Sun and salt fade color fast. A fresh coat brings it back and protects the walls underneath.
