Texture Options: What's Actually on Your Walls

Not sure what you’re looking at (or what you want instead)?

Orange Peel

A light, bumpy texture that hides small wall flaws.

Knockdown

A flatter, softer texture with a warm feel.

Skip Trowel

A hand-applied texture with a custom, artisan look.

Smooth Finish

A clean, modern, flat finish that takes real skill to get right.

Walls age and settle, so we won't promise a perfect microscopic match on old texture. What we will do is set realistic expectations and use our experience to blend the repair as closely as possible. Most people can't tell where the patch was.

Why It Matters

The Stuff We Use

We use high-quality products such as Sherwin-Williams and Benjamin Moore. Not the cheapest stuff on the shelf.
 
Better paint means better coverage, easier cleaning, and less fading over time. Better drywall compound means repairs that don’t crack two years from now. You’ll see the difference. You’ll feel it, too.

Frequently Asked Questions

Painting FAQs

How much does it cost to paint a house?

Costs vary depending on the size of your home, the condition of the surfaces, and the type of paint used. Interior painting for an average-sized home typically ranges from $2,000–$6,000, while exterior painting can range from $3,000–$8,000+. We provide free, no-obligation estimates so you know exactly what to expect.

For most interior walls, a high-quality 100% acrylic latex paint provides excellent coverage, durability, and easy cleanup. For high-moisture areas like bathrooms and kitchens, we recommend a paint with mildew-resistant properties. We’ll recommend the best product for each room based on its use and traffic.
The timeline depends on the size of your home, the scope of work, and whether it’s interior or exterior painting. A single room typically takes 1–2 days, while a full interior can take 3–5 days. A full exterior may take 4–7 days depending on prep work needed and weather conditions.
Proper prep is the foundation of a great paint job. This includes cleaning the surface, filling holes and cracks, sanding rough areas, caulking gaps, removing loose or peeling paint, and applying primer where needed. The level of prep depends on the condition of your surfaces.
Yes, we handle minor to moderate drywall repairs as part of our painting prep, including filling nail holes, patching small dents, and smoothing imperfections. For larger drywall damage, we offer full drywall repair services to get your walls looking smooth and ready for paint.
Yes! Cabinet painting is one of our specialty services. It’s a cost-effective way to transform your kitchen without the expense of a full remodel. We properly clean, sand, prime, and apply a durable finish that stands up to daily use.
It depends on the room and surface. Flat/matte hides imperfections and works well for ceilings and low-traffic rooms. Eggshell/satin offers a soft sheen with easy cleaning, ideal for living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways. Semi-gloss/gloss is durable and easy to wipe down, making it perfect for kitchens, bathrooms, trim, and doors. We’ll help you choose the right finish for each area.
In East Tennessee, the best time for exterior painting is late spring through early fall, when temperatures are consistently between 50°F and 85°F with low humidity. We monitor weather conditions closely and schedule exterior work during optimal windows to ensure the best adhesion and finish.
Yes, we are fully licensed and insured. This protects you and your property in the unlikely event of an accident or damage. We’re happy to provide proof of insurance upon request.

Drywall Repair & Installation FAQs

What are the signs that drywall needs repair or replacement?

There are several warning signs that indicate it’s time to call a professional. Some are cosmetic, but others point to deeper issues that can become costly if ignored:

  • Cracks (especially recurring ones near door frames or ceilings): often caused by settling, temperature fluctuation, or improper original installation
  • Holes or dents: from doorknobs, furniture, accidents, or removed anchors
  • Bubbling, soft spots, or discoloration: typically indicates moisture damage behind the surface
  • Peeling or separating drywall tape: means the original taping job has failed and joints are exposed
  • Sagging ceiling panels: can signal water damage from above or fasteners pulling away from joists
  • Nail pops: the fastener heads push through the surface as the home settles

 

Even minor damage affects your home’s energy efficiency (gaps increase heat transfer), sound insulation between rooms, and fire resistance. Addressing these issues early is always cheaper and simpler than waiting until they compound.

In most cases, yes. Water-damaged drywall should be cut out and replaced rather than simply patched over. Here’s why: drywall is made of a gypsum core sandwiched between paper facings. When it absorbs moisture, the core softens and loses its structural integrity, and the paper facing becomes a breeding ground for mold.
 
Even if the surface dries and looks fine, moisture trapped inside the wall cavity can lead to mold growth that spreads behind the wall without visible signs. We cut back the damaged section to dry, solid material, inspect for mold or structural issues behind the wall, and then install new drywall with proper taping and finishing. This protects your home’s air quality, structural safety, and long-term value.
Yes. We match all common drywall textures including orange peel, knockdown, smooth, skip trowel, and popcorn. Texture matching is one of the most critical steps in a professional repair because even a perfectly patched hole will stand out if the surrounding texture doesn’t blend.
 
Our process involves testing the texture pattern on a scrap piece first to dial in the right nozzle size, pressure, and technique before applying it to your wall. We also feather the edges so the transition between old and new is seamless. Once painted, a properly matched texture repair should be completely undetectable.
Absolutely. Beyond repairs, we install new drywall for remodels, basement finishes, room additions, garage conversions, and any project that requires fresh walls or ceilings. This includes hanging the sheets, taping all joints, applying multiple coats of joint compound, sanding smooth, and delivering a paint-ready surface.
 
Basement and addition drywall has specific considerations that matter in East Tennessee: moisture-resistant drywall (green board or purple board) is recommended in below-grade spaces and high-humidity areas. We’ll advise you on the right materials for your specific environment so you don’t end up with moisture problems down the road.
Most localized drywall repairs, including patching, taping, mudding, sanding, and prep for paint, can be completed in a single day. Larger projects, like hanging new drywall in a basement, addition, or full room, typically take 2–4 days depending on square footage and complexity.
 
Here’s what affects the timeline: drywall mud (joint compound) needs proper drying time between coats. Rushing this step is the number one reason DIY patches show through paint later. We apply multiple thin coats with adequate drying time and proper feathering so the finished result is invisible once painted. That patience is what separates professional work from a patch you’ll always notice.
The cost of drywall repair depends on the size of the damaged area, the type of repair needed, and whether texture matching is involved. A small patch for a nail hole or doorknob ding is on the lower end, while repairing large holes, water-damaged sections, or full ceiling panels requires more labor and materials.
 
We provide free estimates with transparent pricing so you know exactly what to expect before we start. After assessing the condition of your walls or ceilings, we’ll give you a clear, itemized quote. There are no hidden fees, no inflated hourly rates, and no surprises on the final bill. Most homeowners are pleasantly surprised at how affordable professional drywall repair is compared to the cost of living with damage that gets worse over time.
Drywall dust contains fine gypsum particles that can irritate your eyes, throat, and lungs, especially for people with asthma or allergies. That’s why dust control is a core part of how we work, not an afterthought.

 

We use plastic barriers to seal off work areas, drop cloths to protect your floors and furniture, and sanding techniques that minimize airborne dust. When the job is finished, we perform a full cleanup: sweeping, vacuuming, and wiping down surfaces so your home is left clean and livable. You won’t be spending your evening dusting every surface in the house. That’s our job, and we take it seriously.
