Drywall Finish Levels
Explained for Burnaby Projects

The drywall industry uses a standardized finish level system (GA-214) that defines the degree of finishing required for different applications. Specifying the correct finish level for your Burnaby project is critical — under-specifying leads to visible imperfections under paint, over-specifying adds unnecessary cost.

L1
Level 1
Tape embedded in joint compound. Utility areas, attics, plenum spaces above ceilings. Not for painted surfaces.
L2
Level 2
Tape plus one coat of compound. Tile substrate, garages, warehouse spaces. Minimal decoration required.
L3
Level 3
Tape plus two coats. Heavy-texture finishes, skip-trowel, heavy wallcovering applications. Standard for many commercial spaces.
L4
Level 4
Tape plus three coats, lightly sanded. The standard for most painted residential and commercial walls in Burnaby. Flat or low-sheen paint.
L5
Level 5
Skim coat over entire surface. Required for high-gloss paint, critical lighting, premium residential and commercial feature walls.

Our Burnaby drywall crews are trained and equipped for all five finish levels. For most residential projects in Burnaby — painted walls with standard sheen — Level 4 is the appropriate specification. Level 5 is increasingly specified for high-end residential renovations in High-Density Residential & Commercial buildings and premium commercial spaces across the Brentwood Town Centre & Metrotown District area.

Drywall Permits &
Code Requirements in Burnaby

Drywall work in Burnaby typically does not require a standalone trade permit — the drywall installation is captured under the building permit for the overall project. However, there are important exceptions and compliance requirements that affect every Burnaby drywall project.

⚠ PERMIT OFFICE · Burnaby

Office: Burnaby City Hall Planning & Building Department

Fire-rated drywall assemblies in Burnaby must match the tested ULC assembly — board type, thickness, fastener pattern, and joint treatment all affect the assembly rating. Any substitution from the tested assembly can invalidate the fire rating, which will be identified at inspection. Our Burnaby drywall crews maintain current knowledge of ULC-rated assemblies and install them correctly every time.

WorkSafeBC requirements govern drywall work on all Burnaby job sites. This includes stilts regulations for ceiling work, dust control for sanding operations, and proper handling procedures for Type X gypsum board. Our crews maintain full WorkSafeBC compliance on every project.
