Textured ceilings in Summerlea that do not show the repair

Good texture flatters an Summerlea ceiling, hiding small flaws and finishing the room; bad or mismatched texture does the reverse. In Summerlea we apply knockdown, orange peel and custom hand-troweled ceiling textures, and match new texture into existing ceilings after repairs. Summerlea is an West Edmonton 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 Summerlea, Aldergrove, Belmead, Callingwood North and West Edmonton, 7 days a week.

Removing texture instead of matching it

The other option

Where a match cannot be got close enough, or the owner wants a modern look, taking the Summerlea texture off and going flat is the alternative.

How we advise

If the texture releases cleanly, scraping gives the flattest result. If it has been painted, skimming over it is better. We test a patch before recommending either, rather than guessing from the room.

Matching an existing pattern

Sampled, not guessed

Matching a Summerlea 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 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.

Texture on walls as well as ceilings

Less common now

Some Summerlea 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.

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

Ceiling Texture Summerlea Edmonton: your questions answered

Can you match my existing ceiling texture in Summerlea in Edmonton?
Yes — matching knockdown, orange peel and stipple into an existing Summerlea ceiling so a repair disappears is core to what we do.
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.
Do you apply ceiling texture in West Edmonton in Edmonton?
Yes — West Edmonton is part of our regular service area and we are usually booked within the week. We also cover Aldergrove, Belmead, Callingwood North and West Edmonton.
Can you texture an West Edmonton ceiling after removing the old texture?
Yes — after removing dated West Edmonton texture we apply a clean, even new finish, or leave the ceiling skimmed flat. Your choice for your West Edmonton home.
Does texture hide a bad ceiling?
It hides small imperfection and amplifies a wavy plane, because the pattern follows the surface. The substrate gets taped and flattened properly first — spraying texture on a bad ceiling gives a textured bad ceiling.
Which texture do I have?
Most Summerlea 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.
