The application of mud or joint compound is essential for seamlessly covering joints, seams, corner metal, and screws in drywall construction. This process represents the most significant anount of both time and material. It demands careful attention, as it requires extended drying periods to achieve a smooth and flawless finish. Properly applied, this layer serves as the foundation for a superior final product, ensuring durability and aesthetic appeal in the completed surface.

Once level 2 has fully dried, it’s time to roll up our sleeves and bring out the sander for that perfect finish! We’ll meticulously work over all the joints, seams, corner metal, and screws, applying another coat to ensure everything looks flawless. This is the perfect moment to prime and add texture, turning your space into something truly extraordinary! Now, here comes our secret sauce… The magic really happens when we roll on a high-quality primer with 18” rollers before adding texture or working on smooth walls. This technique is what truly elevates American Mud Drywall above the competition. Just between us, though—don’t let this secret get out!

To achieve a Level 5 smooth wall finish, it is essential to apply an additional skim coat of joint compound over the entire surface area. Once this layer has fully dried, the final step involves sanding the surface once more to ensure optimal smoothness. This is a great option for any art work, murals, high gloss paint etc. We also suggest Level 5 for “light walls”. These are walls in which direct sun light shines across the wall or ceiling. We also suggest this for areas in which the sun is being reflected directly onto a wall or ceiling. Basically any wall in which sunlight exposes any flaws.   

Applying a single coat of high-quality primer is crucial for achieving a superior finish. We always ensure that we prime the surface before applying our textures for either hand textures or sprayed textures. For both Level 4 and Level 5 smooth wall finishes, we meticulously roll on the primer to create an even base, and then we carefully address any additional touch-ups as needed to guarantee a flawless finish..
