Drywall finishing is where quality shows — and shortcuts become obvious. We do it right.
What Is Drywall Finishing?
Drywall finishing is the process of transforming raw drywall into a smooth, paint-ready surface. This includes taping seams, applying joint compound, floating imperfections, sanding, and creating the desired final finish—whether that’s smooth walls, Level 5 finishes, or decorative textures.
Proper drywall finishing is critical for:
Clean paint lines
Even light reflection
Professional appearance
Long-term durability
Poor finishing cannot be hidden by paint.
Our Drywall Finishing Services
Brush & Pride Painting offers complete drywall finishing services, including:
Taping & Mudding
We properly tape all seams and apply joint compound using controlled, consistent methods to ensure strength, durability, and smooth transitions between panels.
Floating & Skim Coating
Floating and skim coating are used to level surfaces, remove imperfections, and correct uneven walls or ceilings. This process is essential for older homes, remodels, and surfaces with visible inconsistencies.
Level 4 & Level 5 Drywall Finishing
We provide both Level 4 and Level 5 drywall finishes, depending on the project needs.
Level 4: Standard smooth finish suitable for most residential interiors
Level 5: A premium finish that includes a full skim coat for perfectly smooth walls—ideal for high-end homes, large open spaces, and areas with strong lighting
Level 5 finishing is often recommended before installing high-gloss or specialty paint finishes.
Drywall Texturing
While drywall finishing and texturing are part of the same process, we offer a variety of textures based on homeowner preference, including:
Orange peel
Knockdown
Light custom textures
We apply textures evenly and intentionally, ensuring consistency throughout the space.
Drywall Finishing for New Construction & Remodels
We regularly provide drywall finishing services for:
New construction homes
Room additions
Kitchen and bathroom remodels
Historic home renovations
Repair after electrical or plumbing work
Our team works cleanly, efficiently, and in coordination with other trades to keep projects moving forward.
Drywall Finishing for Historic & Older Homes
Older homes often require more advanced drywall finishing due to:
Uneven framing
Plaster-to-drywall transitions
Previous repairs
Settling and movement over time
Brush & Pride Painting has experience working in historic and character homes throughout Central Arkansas. Our finishing process respects the structure while delivering clean, modern results where appropriate.
Why Professional Drywall Finishing Matters
Drywall finishing directly affects how paint looks and performs. Uneven joints, visible seams, and poor sanding become more noticeable after painting — especially under modern lighting.

Smooth, uniform surfaces
Better paint adhesion
Reduced callbacks and rework
A polished, professional final appearance
As a full-service painting company, we understand how drywall finishing and painting work together.
