Texture Matching — Prices and Specs

Frequently Asked Questions

What does texture add?

$0.75 to $1.50 per square foot on top of the patch or finish price.

Can a patch ever match in full?

A good match is hard to spot in day light. We will say up front if an old, odd texture can only come close.

What textures are common here?

Orange peel first, then knockdown. Smooth walls are common in newer and high-end homes.

How long does it take?

Most patch blends are done with the patch job, in one to two visits.

Does texture need primer?

Yes. New texture drinks paint. Primer keeps the sheen even.

Is the site check free?

Yes. The check and the written bid cost nothing.

How the work runs

We read the old texture first: size of the splatter, how flat it sits, how the light hits it. A test spot is shot and left to dry. Only then is the full area done.
