Seamless finishes — perfect blends — no visible patch lines.
Call or Text: 413-302-0640

When a wall or ceiling has a textured finish, even a small repair can stand out if the texture doesn’t match perfectly. Blending texture is one of the hardest skills in drywall and plaster repair — and it’s where many handymen fall short.

At MrWalls Drywall & Painting, we specialize in true texture matching. Whether you have a light orange peel, heavy knockdown, sand finish, hand-applied texture, or popcorn, we make every repair blend seamlessly so you can’t tell where the patch begins.

We proudly serve Chicopee, Springfield, Westfield, Ludlow, Longmeadow, Holyoke, and all Western Massachusetts towns.

Why Texture Matching Matters

Even flawless drywall or plaster repairs can look terrible under lighting if the texture is wrong.

Common problems caused by poor texture matching:

• Visible “patch square” around the repair

• Dark/light flashing under ceiling lights

• Wrong pattern size or density

• Spray texture that doesn’t match hand-applied styles

• Uneven blotchy areas

• Thick or thin texture compared to the rest of the ceiling

• Repairs that jump out as soon as you walk in the room

Our goal is simple: a patch you can’t find — even if you know where it was.

Types of Texture We Match

Every home is different. We match all standard and custom textures, including:

✔ Popcorn (Acoustic) Texture

Fine, medium, or heavy “cottage cheese” texture often found in older homes.

✔ Orange Peel

A lightly raised finish — we match light, medium, or heavy variations.

✔ Knockdown Texture

Sprayed on and flattened — requires proper timing and technique to match perfectly.

✔ Sand Finish / Sand Swirl

Common in older Western MA homes and plaster ceilings.

✔ Hand-Applied Plaster Textures

Troweled, skip-trowel, or custom artistic finishes.

✔ Ceiling Texture Blending

Lighting makes ceiling texture more noticeable — we match it precisely.

If your home’s texture isn’t listed, we can identify and replicate it.
Matching textures is our specialty.

Our Texture Matching Process

Texture matching is both science and art. Here’s how we do it right:

1. Evaluate the Original Texture

We examine density, height, pattern direction, and application style.

2. Repair the Surface First

A perfect texture requires a perfect substrate.
We repair:

• Cracks

• Holes

• Loose drywall

• Bad seams

• Water-damaged sections

• Plaster failures

3. Custom-Mix Texture to Match

We adjust:

• Thickness

• Spray pressure

• Material mix

• Pattern overlap

• Dry time

• Knife or trowel technique

4. Apply, Shape & Blend

We feather the texture into the surrounding surface so there’s no hard line between old and new material.

5. Final Inspection & Optional Painting

We ensure the texture blends evenly under natural and overhead lighting.
We can paint the repair or the entire ceiling/wall if needed.

When Texture Matching Is Needed

Homeowners often call us after:

• A plumber, electrician, or HVAC tech cuts an access hole

• Water damage causes texture to bubble, sag, or fall off

• Old popcorn texture cracks or stains

• A DIY repair leaves behind a “blotchy” patch

• A handyman’s repair looks obvious

• Texture varies across a room or section of wall

Even if another contractor messed it up, we can fix it.

Popcorn Texture Repairs & Removal

If you prefer to keep your popcorn ceiling, we can patch damaged areas seamlessly.
If you’re ready for an updated look, we also offer:

• Full popcorn ceiling removal

• Retexturing to a modern finish

• Smooth ceiling resurfacing

• Blending and refinishing entire rooms

Whether patching or updating, we deliver a clean, modern result.

Clean, Fast, Professional

Ceiling and texture work creates dust — but not on your floors.

We use:

• Plastic room protection

• Drop cloths

• Dust containment

• HEPA filtration

• Full cleanup before we leave

Your home stays clean from start to finish.
