Is $8,300 to apply a level 5 skim coat to a 1040 sqft apartment a fair price?

Project Details

I genuinely don't know anything about a Level 5 skim coat, and this is the first time I've heard of it. My apartment was a gut job, and we've torn out a lot of the drywall, so my contractor recommended coating the entire thing once we're done.

Quote Details

The quote is for applying a Level 5 skim coat to the entire apartment walls. This was recommended by the contractor after a gut renovation where a significant amount of drywall was torn out. The apartment size is 1040 sqft, with an estimated wall square footage of approximately 1200 sqft.

Thank you for your feedback!
