Why does the patched area still show?

Often because the new texture stopped in a hard line at the patch edge. It has to be carried well past the repair and thinned out, which can mean texturing several times the area of the patch itself.

Which texture do I have?

Most Hudson homes from the 1980s and 1990s have knockdown or stipple. Knockdown is sprayed then flattened for a mottled look; stipple is heavier and worked with a roller or brush. Identifying it correctly is the basis of matching any repair.

Can you texture an Hudson ceiling after removing the old texture?

Yes — after removing dated Hudson texture we apply a clean, even new finish, or leave the ceiling skimmed flat. Your choice for your Hudson home.

Does a textured ceiling need more paint?

Yes. It has far more actual surface than its footage and holds paint in the recesses, so it takes more material, a longer nap and often an extra coat. Fresh texture also needs priming or it absorbs unevenly.

Do you apply new texture to Hudson ceilings post-removal?

Yes — removal in Hudson ends either in new, evenly applied texture or a skim-flat ceiling. Your choice for your Hudson home.

Do you stand behind your ceiling texture work in Northwest?

Yes. We check every Northwest ceiling under raking light with you before we pack up, and if something is not right we come back and make it right.

Ceiling Texture Hudson Edmonton | Knockdown Spray

Ceiling texture in Hudson, matched or applied fresh

Texture done right gives an Hudson room its finished look and buries minor flaws; done wrong, it advertises them. In Hudson we apply knockdown, orange peel and custom hand-troweled ceiling textures, and match new texture into existing ceilings after repairs. Hudson is an established south Edmonton community of 1960s-70s homes where ceiling stipple, settling cracks and dated texture are common, so texture work here is usually fresh application on new ceilings and matching after repairs. We cover Hudson, Albany, Athlone, Baranow and Northwest, 7 days a week.

The common textures and what they look like

Four you will actually see

Knockdown is sprayed then flattened, giving a mottled look. Orange peel is a fine spray left unflattened. Stipple is heavier and stippled with a roller or brush. Hand-troweled is applied and worked with a knife.

Which you have

Most Hudson homes from the 1980s and 1990s carry knockdown or stipple. Identifying yours correctly is the whole basis of matching a repair into it.

Texture magnifies what is underneath

It hides less than people think

Texture is often applied to disguise rough taping, and it does hide small imperfection. It also amplifies a wavy ceiling, because the pattern follows the plane.

What we do first

The substrate is taped and flattened properly before any texture goes on. Spraying texture onto a bad ceiling gives a textured bad ceiling, and it is far harder to fix afterwards.

Matching an existing pattern

Sampled, not guessed

Matching a Hudson texture means reproducing the mix consistency, the spray pressure, the nozzle and the timing of the knockdown pass. Any one of those wrong changes the result.

How we work

Samples on scrap board held up against the existing ceiling, adjusted until it reads the same, then applied. Getting it right on a test piece is far cheaper than getting it wrong overhead.

Our Hudson ceiling texture process in Edmonton, step by step

Prep and a sound base

Texture only looks good over a sound, properly finished base, so in Hudson we make sure seams and patches are flat before any texture goes on.

Even application and matching

We apply the texture in a consistent pass across the whole ceiling so there are no heavy and light patches, and when matching into an existing Hudson ceiling we dial the texture in to blend at the edges. The raking-light test closes out every Hudson ceiling.

Living with it during the work

Spray means containment

Applying texture is a spray process. Overspray travels, so the room is sealed, floors and any remaining furniture covered, and openings masked.

Drying and the room

Fresh texture needs to dry before priming, so the room is out of use for longer than the application takes. We give the real schedule at the quote rather than the application time alone.
