Popular textures

Knockdown (sprayed then flattened) is most requested for its subtle modern look. Orange peel hides minor flaws. Skip trowel creates a Mediterranean feel. Smooth finish is gaining popularity.

Texture after repair

Patch repairs need texture to blend with surrounding walls. Matching pattern, scale, and density is the trickiest part. Multiple test patches may be needed for a seamless result.
