Texture Matching in Kensington Park, FL

How a texture matching job runs
Identify the pattern
We examine the texture in side light, note its size and spacing, and allow for years of paint softening its profile.
Flatten the base
The repaired area is sanded flat and checked with a straightedge, because texture exaggerates any hump underneath.
Dial in on a sample
Compound thickness, air pressure and nozzle size are adjusted on scrap drywall until the sample matches the wall.
Apply, blend and prime
Texture is applied over the repair, feathered into the surrounding surface and primed so it takes paint like the rest of the plane.

Texture Matching questions
How long does new texture take to dry?
Thin sprayed textures dry relatively quickly, while heavier knockdown and hand textures take longer. Florida humidity slows everything, so we allow full drying before priming and painting.
Which texture is most common on Florida walls?
Orange peel and knockdown are the most common on walls, with knockdown also widespread on ceilings. Older homes often have sand swirl or popcorn ceilings, and some have hand-troweled finishes.
Can you match a hand-troweled texture?
Yes, although it takes more time than sprayed textures. We study the stroke size and direction of the existing work and reproduce it by hand, testing on scrap board first.
Why does texture flake off bathroom ceilings?
Steam and humidity soften water-based texture, and poor ventilation makes it worse. We scrape loose material, seal the ceiling and re-texture, and recommend running the exhaust fan during and after showers.
