From subtle to bold, we apply the texture that fits your style.

Knockdown

Sprayed texture that's flattened for a Mediterranean look. Popular in living areas and creates visual interest without being too bold.

Orange Peel

Fine, subtle texture resembling citrus peel. Great for hiding minor imperfections while maintaining a relatively smooth appearance.

Skip Trowel

Hand-applied texture with a rustic, Old World feel. Creates unique patterns that add character to any room.

Smooth Finish

No texture, just perfectly smooth walls. Requires Level 5 finishing but creates a clean, modern look.

Popcorn/Acoustic

Spray-applied heavy texture, typically for ceilings. Provides sound dampening and hides imperfections effectively.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about texture services in Madison, WI.

01
What is knockdown texture?
Knockdown texture is created by spraying joint compound onto the wall in a splatter pattern, then lightly flattening (knocking down) the peaks with a wide knife. It creates a subtle, Mediterranean-inspired look that hides minor imperfections while being easier to clean than heavy textures.
02
Can you match existing texture on a repaired wall?
Yes — texture matching is one of the most common reasons homeowners call us. We analyze your existing texture, test our match on a sample area, and apply it to the repaired section. Our goal is an invisible blend where you cannot tell where the repair ends and the original wall begins.
03
What is the difference between orange peel and knockdown texture?
Orange peel has a finer, more uniform texture resembling citrus skin — it's sprayed on and left as-is. Knockdown starts as a heavier splatter that is then flattened, creating larger, more distinct patterns with flat spots between the raised areas. Orange peel is subtler; knockdown is more pronounced.
04
How do I remove popcorn texture from my walls or ceiling?
Popcorn texture removal involves wetting the surface to soften the compound, then scraping it off with a wide blade. It is messy and if the texture was applied before 1980, it should be tested for asbestos first. After removal, the surface needs to be skim coated and sanded to a smooth finish. We handle the entire process.
