Do you do texture matching in Old Town?

Yes — Old Town is part of our regular service area, and we are usually booked within the week. We also cover Airdrie, Bayside, Chinook Gate and every Calgary quadrant.

Can you match any texture?

We match knockdown, stipple, orange peel, splatter, hand-troweled and smooth Level 5 finishes — the textures most common in Old Town homes.

Will the patch be visible after texture matching?

Not once painted — we test and dial in the match before applying it to the repair, and feather the edges so there is no hard line in your Old Town home.

Do you match texture after renovations?

Yes — when new drywall joins old, we match the texture across the seam so the whole wall or ceiling reads as one surface.

Do you stand behind your texture matching in Old Town?

Yes. We check every Old Town blend under raking light before we pack up, and if something is not right we come back and make it right.

Is it better to repair our Old Town plaster walls or replace them with drywall?

It depends on the extent of the damage -- for isolated cracks and holes we repair and refinish the existing plaster; if a wall is failing broadly it's often more cost-effective to replace it with drywall, which we can walk you through on-site.

Drywall Texture Matching Old Town Airdrie

Drywall texture matching in Old Town that vanishes into the wall

A repair that is not texture-matched draws more attention than the original damage — a flat patch on a stippled wall stands out under any light. In Old Town we match texture into repairs so the fix reads as part of the original surface. Old Town is an older Airdrie community where settling cracks, aging texture and the occasional plaster repair come up, so the texture work here usually means matching stipple ceilings and the occasional skim-over of dated texture. We cover Old Town and all of Airdrie, 7 days a week.

What affects the cost of texture matching in Old Town?

Texture type and area

The cost in Old Town depends on the texture type — hand-troweled finishes take longer to match than a sprayed knockdown — and the size of the blend area. We assess on site and give a fixed price first.

What we are matching in Old Town

The texture we are usually matching is stipple ceilings and the occasional skim-over of dated texture, and getting the pattern and depth right is what makes the blend disappear.

Our Old Town texture matching process, step by step

Study the existing texture

In Old Town we study the existing pattern, density and depth before we touch a repair, because guessing at the match is what causes a visible patch.

Test, blend and feather

We test the texture on a scrap or hidden area first, then apply it feathered well past the repair edge so there is no hard line, checking the blend under raking light.

Texture types we match in Old Town

Knockdown, stipple and orange peel

The most common textures in Old Town homes are stipple ceilings and the occasional skim-over of dated texture, and we match all of them by hand and by tool to reproduce the original pattern.

Smooth and Level 5 walls

On smooth walls, texture matching means skim-finishing the repair flush and flat so there is no texture to see at all — see our Level 5 finish page.

Common texture matching situations in Old Town

Old Town Airdrie has some of the city's oldest housing stock, so we regularly work on plaster repair, settling cracks that have built up over many years, and drywall retrofits where a renovation replaces old lath-and-plaster walls with modern board. We handle all of it the same careful way — on-site quote, fixed price, done right.
