Level 5 Drywall Finish in Meridian
Level 5 is a skim over the whole wall, not a better tape job.

Meridian Quality Drywall is the Level 5 finish page for Meridian: the full-surface skim that keeps joints from flashing under critical light.
Gypsum face paper and joint compound absorb primer differently. Under a knockdown, nobody cares. Under a smooth wall, a dark color, or a sliding door that rakes light down the plane, every joint reads as a stripe. Level 5 is how you stop that. It is extra material and extra days. It is not a marketing name for "we sanded it."
Where Level 5 earns the cost
Open living rooms in new Meridian builds have 10-foot ceilings and a wall of glass. That is critical lighting. Kitchens with enamel or cabinet-grade paint on the walls are the same. A media room that will take a dark color is the same. A kids' bedroom with knockdown is not.
The skim is thin. Heavy skim on a wall that is not flat just makes a wavy thick wall. The hang and the Level 4 have to be right first. Call with which rooms and what the paint sheen will be.

Common questions
Is Level 5 just more sanding?
No. After a proper Level 4, a thin coat of compound is applied over the entire surface so the paper face and the joints take paint the same way. Sanding harder on a Level 4 does not make a Level 5.
Which rooms are worth it in a Meridian house?
Kitchens with gloss cabinets, living rooms with west windows, hallways with cans, and any wall getting a dark or enamel paint. Bedrooms with knockdown and eggshell usually stay Level 4.
Is Level 5 the same as skim coating old walls?
No. Level 5 is a thin skim over a correct new Level 4 hang. Skim coating old knockdown is a remodel over existing texture. Both make a smooth plane. The starting surface is different.
