About This Service

Knockdown texture — one of the most common wall finishes in Utah homes built between the 1980s and 2010s — is applied by spraying joint compound and then flattening the peaks with a trowel, and it comes in a wide range of splatter sizes and trowel pressures that make it one of the harder textures to match. Our crews work exclusively with drywall texture and have matched thousands of knockdown patterns across Utah County and Salt Lake County, always testing on a sample board before touching your wall.

Our Process

01

Analyze the Pattern

We study the surrounding knockdown texture — splatter size, trowel angle, and density — to plan our replication.

02

Prime the Patch

The repaired area is primed so compound doesn't dry too fast and the texture matches the existing sheen.

03

Test Spray

We spray a test board and knockdown — comparing to the wall texture before applying to your surface.

04

Apply & Knock Down

Compound is sprayed at the correct pressure and density, then knocked down with a trowel to match your existing pattern.

05

Paint to Blend

After drying, paint is applied and feathered — the texture transition is invisible.

Knockdown Texture Matching — Frequently Asked Questions

Knockdown texture varies significantly based on sprayer pressure, compound consistency, drying time, and how the craftsman applies the trowel — two walls done the same day by the same crew can look slightly different. Matching an existing pattern requires replicating all of those variables, which is why we test on a sample board before touching your wall.

Yes — we see a lot of heavy knockdown in Utah homes from that era. Older knockdown was applied thicker with larger splatter and deeper trowel impressions than modern application, and we carry the right compound formulas and adjust our sprayer settings to replicate the heavier, coarser pattern.

No — and we avoid that whenever possible. We apply paint over just the repaired and re-textured area, feathering outward to blend with the existing paint. If your paint has faded significantly over time, we'll discuss options upfront.
