LVL 5 was founded by two highly-skilled professionals with roots in the art and museum world. We combine decades of experience working in museums and galleries with decades of experience in painting and construction to deliver the highest quality of service, precision, and care.

Who We Are

Jon Lawrence has decades of experience in the art world, helping develop and construct big-time art shows with Big Medium, Canopy, the Texas Biennial, Austin Studio Tour, and others.

Kyle R M is a museum curator at the University of Texas at Austin with over a decade of experience in writing and designing museum exhibits. His career has centered on the development and maintenance of museum spaces, galleries, and cultural institutions.

Our Approach

We focus on seamless, museum‑grade finishes—Level 5 drywall, expertly applied graphics, and custom build‑outs—all executed with safety, efficiency, and an eye for detail. We deliver museum-grade drywall, painting, and construction services with precision, care, and minimal disruption — trusted by galleries and cultural institutions across the state of Texas.

Why It Matters

Unlike general contractors, we understand the delicate nature of working in specialized environments—protecting artwork, meeting tight turnovers, and collaborating seamlessly with curators and creative directors.
