One of the most frustrating things about a drywall repair is when the patch looks obvious because the texture doesn't match. Different sprayers, different mud thickness, different application technique — it all shows. If your wall has knockdown, orange peel, stipple, skip trowel, or any other texture, we match it. Not close enough — matched. The repair should disappear under paint, and that's the standard we hold ourselves to.
When You Need Texture Matching
Any time drywall is repaired, patched, or replaced, the new surface needs to match the surrounding texture. This is especially important in visible areas — living rooms, hallways, entryways, and any wall with natural light hitting it. Mismatched texture is the single biggest giveaway that a wall has been repaired. Older Calgary homes in neighbourhoods like Brentwood, Thorncliffe, and Huntington Hills often have original textures from the 1960s and 70s that are difficult to replicate without experience. If your previous repair looks like a patch, we can fix that too.
Our Texture Matching Process
We start by examining the existing texture — type, thickness, pattern direction, and application method. We test-match on a sample area or scrap board to confirm the match before applying to the wall. The texture is applied using the same technique as the original — spray, roller, trowel, or brush depending on the style. Once dry, we check the match under different lighting conditions. The goal is zero visible transition between old and new. The surface is left paint-ready.
Texture Matching Cost in Calgary
Texture matching cost depends on the size of the area, the complexity of the existing texture, and whether the surface needs to be re-mudded before texturing. Simple textures on small areas are quick. Complex textures on large areas require more time and testing. We provide a free written quote with no trip charge.
