Textured ceilings in Kensington that do not show the repair

On Kensington ceilings, well-applied texture conceals imperfections and completes the space — sloppy or mismatched texture ruins it. In Kensington we apply knockdown, orange peel and custom hand-troweled ceiling textures, and match new texture into existing ceilings after repairs. Kensington is an Northwest community with a mix of older homes and newer builds, so texture work here is usually fresh application on new ceilings and matching after repairs. We cover Kensington, Albany, Athlone, Baranow and Northwest, 7 days a week.

Our Northwest 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 Northwest 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 Northwest ceiling we dial the texture in to blend at the edges. We put raking light on the Northwest ceiling before signing off.

Kensington drywall in context

About Kensington

Kensington was annexed to the City in 1913 during a real estate boom but most development didn't occur until the 1950s.

What we see in Kensington

In Kensington the drywall work is plaster and lath repair, popcorn and stipple ceiling removal, careful patching into original surfaces. We confirm what your home actually needs on site, in writing, before anything starts.

Matching an existing pattern

Sampled, not guessed

Matching a Kensington 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.

Texture on walls as well as ceilings

Less common now

Some Kensington homes carry orange peel or knockdown on the walls too. Wall texture is more visible to the eye and to touch than ceiling texture and shows a mismatch more readily.

Repairs on textured walls

They need the same sampled match and generous feathering, and because walls are at eye level the tolerance is tighter than overhead.

Prep and a sound base

Texture only looks good over a sound, properly finished base, so in Kensington 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 Kensington ceiling we dial the texture in to blend at the edges. The raking-light test closes out every Kensington ceiling.

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.
