ProfessionalTexture Matching

A mismatched texture on a patched wall or ceiling is often more noticeable than the original damage. We apply spray or hand-applied texture to blend seamlessly with your existing orange peel, knockdown, skip-trowel, or smooth finish.

Also known as: texture matching, wall texture matching, drywall texture matching, match wall texture, orange peel texture matching, knockdown texture, texture mathing

How it works

1

Identify the texture

We look carefully at the existing texture, noting the pattern density and application method, before selecting the matching technique.

2

Apply and adjust

We spray or hand-apply the texture in light coats, adjusting pressure and distance until the pattern closely matches the surrounding area.

3

Blend and prime

We feather the edges of the new texture into the original, let it dry, and prime before painting to tie everything together.

We can help

Problems we fix

  • Orange peel texture applied too heavy, creating a completely different pattern than the surrounding wall
  • Hand-applied knockdown that looks uniform and artificial compared to the organic variation in the original
  • Texture applied before the joint compound underneath was fully dry, causing cracking
  • Trying to match a texture in older homes that was applied with discontinued equipment or techniques

Good to know

Texture Matching — FAQ

Can you always match existing texture exactly?

Very closely in most cases. Orange peel and knockdown are the most common and the easiest to replicate. Older hand-applied textures or very fine skip-trowel can be harder to reproduce perfectly.

Can texture be matched on a ceiling?

Yes, ceiling texture matching is one of the most common things we do after a water damage repair or popcorn removal on a portion of the ceiling.

Do you prime before or after applying texture?

We prime the bare drywall or compound before texturing if the surface is very porous, then prime again after the texture dries to seal it before painting.
