Finish level

Level 5 finishes

Level 4 and Level 5 are both part of the published service. Level 5 adds a skim coat over the whole surface. It is the usual choice where walls and ceilings will be seen under strong natural or raking light. The quote separates finish level from the rest of the scope, so an architect can specify it without it being bundled into a generic stop.

Curves

Curved walls and arches

Radius work cannot hide behind trim, so the stop has to hold the line the drawing sets.
