Drywall Texture Matching & Patching in Huntington, WV | Knockdown, Orange Peel & Skip Trowel Matched
A perfect patch on a textured wall still looks like a patch if the texture is not matched. That is why "drywall repair and texture" is its own search in our Huntington data. Drywall Repair Huntington carries a hopper gun, texture rollers, and the knockdown knives to reproduce the finish on your walls and ceilings, then feathers the new texture into the old so there is no edge.
Texture matching is included in every patch we do on a textured surface. It is also available on its own when a previous repair was left smooth, or when a whole wall needs to be re-textured after a remodel.
The textures we see in Huntington
Knockdown is the most common in homes and rentals finished after about 1990. Orange peel shows up in 1970s and 80s houses in Barboursville, Pea Ridge, and the newer parts of Westmoreland. Skip trowel and hand-stipple appear on older ceilings, and sand-finish plaster in pre-war homes. Popcorn is its own category and usually gets removed rather than matched.
How we match it
Match starts with reading the existing texture: the size of the splatter, how flat the knockdown was troweled, the sheen of the paint over it. We test the hopper on a scrap board until the pattern matches, spray the patch and a halo around it, knock it down at the same timing as the original, and prime and paint the whole area. Under raking light, the goal is that you cannot find the boundary.
Re-texturing a whole wall or ceiling
When a wall has been patched many times, or when a texture was applied badly the first time, it is sometimes faster to skim the wall smooth and re-texture the whole thing. That gives a clean, uniform finish and is common in rental turnovers where a unit has collected a decade of mismatched patches.
Smooth walls: the level 5 alternative
If you would rather be rid of texture, we can skim-coat a textured wall to a smooth level 5 finish. It is more work than matching, but in a room with big windows or gloss paint it is the finish that looks right. See drywall finishing for how we do it.
Questions about Drywall Texture Matching & Patching
How much does texture matching cost?
As an add-on to a patch, roughly $75 to $200 depending on the texture and the area. Re-texturing a whole wall or ceiling is quoted by the square foot.
Can you match knockdown texture on a small patch?
Yes. We spray the patch and a halo around it, knock it down to match, and blend the paint so the repair disappears.
Can you remove texture instead of matching it?
Yes. We skim-coat textured walls smooth and remove popcorn ceilings entirely.
