Business owners in Fairfield can add visual interest and effectively conceal wall imperfections with textured finishes. Knockdown, orange peel, and popcorn textures provide an attractive finish for any commercial or apartment space.
Orange Peel Textured Spraying
Orange peel texture is a popular choice because it hides imperfections without being as bold as popcorn texture. It requires a professional spray applicator to control the dimple size and adequate drying time, but no trowel work.
Popcorn Textured Spraying
While older popcorn ceilings are often removed, modern versions are being installed for their acoustic sound dampening properties. These new popcorn textures feature crisper, more distinct peaks and valleys, making them visually appealing in commercial settings.
One of the most popular textured finishes, knockdown texture, comes in three types: mud trowel, splatter, and stomp. Each provides a unique look and textured relief.
Ideal for commercial settings, mud trowel offers a subtle texture. Using a drywall trowel with a curved blade, we apply and then skim off drywall mud to create a delicate relief. This technique requires several coats and expert handling.
Splatter is the most cost-effective and quickest option, resembling Spanish stucco. Using a drywall hopper gun, we spray wet drywall mud onto surfaces and then flatten the peaks with a knockdown knife, creating a subtle raised texture that leaves about 60% of the surface flat.
Also known as "Holy Smooth," stomp provides a more pronounced texture than splatter or mud trowel. We apply a thin mix of drywall with a paint roller, use a crows-foot brush to create spikes, and then flatten them with a knockdown knife.
Effective texture spraying and knockdown treatments require thorough prep work. Our professional painters meticulously cover furniture and surfaces, prepare ceilings and walls, and ensure a clean and tidy work area. We complete a full clean-up promptly after finishing the project.
We understand that having a painting company in your business can be inconvenient. Grega Painting works with you to schedule the work efficiently, minimizing disruption to your daily operations.
At Grega Painting, we believe in transparent pricing. Unlike some companies that provide vague estimates, we offer a detailed quote that includes all costs for supplies and labor. If any unforeseen circumstances arise, we discuss any changes to the quote with you beforehand.
Our knockdown and textured spraying specialists conduct a comprehensive review of your project.

As with any home improvement project there are unforeseen circumstances, but you can relax knowing Grega Painting will discuss any changes to our quote with you.
Canned spray texture is suitable for repairing small drywall areas, allowing for easy blending with the surrounding texture.
For small patches, use a spray texture can. For larger jobs, use a system that provides a consistent, high continuous air supply at a lower pressure below 50 psi.
Wait 10 to 15 minutes after spraying. Once the sheen disappears from the sprayed area, begin dragging the knockdown knife in fluid, overlapping movements over the surface.
