Understanding the different levels of gypsum board finishes is crucial for achieving the desired look and durability in any construction project.

Listeners will learn:
- The requirements for Level 0–5 drywall finishes
- The role the putty knife size plays as a drywall finisher ascends through the finish levels
- The key differences between Level 4 and Level 5 finishes
- Design scenarios where a Level 5 finish is recommended
