The texture is what you actually see on your walls. We apply orange peel, knockdown, skip trowel and smooth finishes on new walls and match the texture you already have. Call (619) 382-8671 for a free estimate.

- Knockdown
- Skip trowel
- Smooth wall, level 4
- Smooth wall, level 5
- Matching an existing texture
Which texture fits your home
Orange peel is the light, fine texture you see in most San Diego homes. Knockdown is flatter with wider spots. Skip trowel is done by hand and gives a hand-finished look. A smooth wall shows every flaw, so it takes the most prep: level 4 for most rooms, level 5 when strong light hits the wall.
Before the texture
Texture cannot hide a bad wall. Straight framing and good taping come first, which is why we like to do the drywall and the texture as one job. After it dries, the room is ready for paint.
This is part of our drywall installation work. Also see drywall repair.
Where we do this work
Orange peel and knockdown are the textures you find in most San Diego County homes, and a smooth wall is common in new remodels. We work from National City and take texture jobs across San Diego County, including San Diego, Encinitas, Chula Vista and Lakeside. See all the areas we serve.

Texture questions
Still not sure? Jorge answers in English or Spanish.
Can you remove a popcorn ceiling and re-texture it?
Call us with a photo. Older ceilings may need testing before they are scraped.
Is smooth more expensive?
Usually yes, because a smooth finish needs more coats of mud and more sanding.
