The most important information to understand if you are considering having knockdown texture
applied to your home or office is it must be sprayed from a spray rig. A spray rig is a truck
mounted or trailer mounted spray texture machine that sits in the driveway, is gas powered and
only hoses are pulled into your home.
Consumers want to avoid:
1. Do it yourself options.
2. Hiring a contractor that "does it all".
3. Hiring a texture company that does not have a spray rig.
4. Using and texture machine where the whole unit enters the home.
5. Using a texture machine that plugs into the wall.
6. Spraying knockdown texture in their home if it is not covered well.
7. Using a crew of two or less.

| While removing popcorn from ceilings and replacing it with knockdown texture is the majority of our work, we also apply knockdown texture on interior walls. For an additional cost you may choose to have a smooth/slick surface on your ceilings and or walls instead, however the process demands more time and effort in order to achieve high quality results. Not only is knockdown texture an affordable upgrade to your home but it can be executed in a timely manner. Whether your home is fully furnished or vacant (lesser cost), we take every precaution necessary to keep your home and furnishings safe and clean. Once your home and furnishings are protected we begin to scrape the popcorn and subsequently skim for smooth/slick or spray knockdown. Minor drywall repairs are usually done at no extra charge, however if the repair is extensive we offer a full drywall repair service at very competitive prices (this cost is always in the original proposal so there are no surprises). We can usually schedule any size job within a day or two's notice. After twelve years experience our most valued asset is a satisfied customer. We understand that quality work leads to referrals and our customer satisfaction is our number one priority. Call our team of friendly professionals who are ready to assist you with any questions you may have. Remember there is no obligation and there is no charge for in home estimates. |
1. Knockdown texture can look horrible if its not sprayed evenly, the best
way to assure yourself of this is to make sure the company you hire has
a "spray rig" not a "hopper".
2. If you decide you want a smooth finish instead of Knockdown, expect
higher costs and more down time for your home (we can do it).
3. Make sure the process of the company you hire includes a lot of
manpower, plastic rolls and lots of experience. This is not a two man job.
4. Keep in mind that after the process is done, the texture still needs to
dry and be painted.
5. Most jobs can be done with minimal to no mess. A knockdown textures
base material is nothing more than drywall mud with a more soupy
consistency. It's water based and its not a hazardous material.
6. Light fixtures and fans with a small circumference around the top can
be left in place and protected. If they have a larger circumference then it
is best to drop the tops so that if you decide to change to a smaller top
at a later date you won't have a donut of popcorn exposed.
7. Costs are less to the consumer when "cover up" time is less, in other
words the less things that need to be protected the better for your wallet,
(blinds, verticals, furniture, trim, doors, door jams, cabinets, appliances,
switches, outlets, flooring, windows, light fixtures, fans). If some of these
things are not "in the way" point it out to the estimator.
8. Minimal drywall repair is usually included at "no extra charge". Some
situations that can be an extra charge are, is above the 4th floor or
higher, sky lights, excessive cracks, situations that require scaffolding.
9. Some jobs can be executed in a moments notice.
10. Doing it yourself leads to high levels of frustration, picking the wrong
company can be even worse.
