Texture Matching in Austin
Orange peel, knockdown or something custom: we match your existing wall and ceiling texture so repairs and new drywall blend right into the room.
What Is Texture Matching?
Texture matching means recreating the texture already on your walls or ceilings so a repair or new section looks like it was always there. Many Austin area homes have some kind of texture, often orange peel or knockdown, and every house is a little different depending on how it was sprayed. Matching it takes more than a can of spray texture. It means reading the pattern, the size of the splatter and how flat it was knocked down, then applying it in layers until it lines up with the surrounding wall. Sergio has spent 20 years learning to match textures by eye.
Why Is Texture Matching Necessary?
A perfect patch can still stand out if the texture around it is different. A smooth patch on a textured wall, or heavy splatter next to a light one, catches the eye every time the light hits it, even after paint. Texture matching is what makes drywall repairs, water damage fixes, moved outlets and room additions blend in. It also matters when you only want to repair one area instead of retexturing an entire room, which saves time and money and keeps the original look of your home or business.
What Is Required For Texture Matching?
The first step is seeing the existing texture so we know exactly what we are matching. Any repair underneath has to be finished first, since texture goes over a solid, flat patch. The pattern is tested, applied, allowed to set and adjusted until it blends, and then the area is ready for primer and paint. If you know what texture your home has, or you have leftover paint from the original color, let us know. Repainting the area or the whole wall afterward helps the repair disappear completely.
