Drywall textures — Berkeley, CA
Last updated: September 24, 2026
What affects the price
Drywall projects vary based on a few main factors. The total square footage, the height of your ceilings, and the level of finish required—like smooth wall versus textured—are the biggest drivers. If your walls have significant water damage or require mold remediation, that adds complexity. Accessibility also matters; tight corners or areas requiring scaffolding take more time than open rooms. Exact pricing confirmed free on the call.
About this service
Texture is applied to drywall to hide imperfections or add visual character to a room. Common styles include orange peel, knockdown, or skip trowel. If you have an existing texture, we can match it during repairs so the patch disappears. If you want a new look, we apply the compound and use specific rollers or sprayers to create the pattern. Costs vary by the complexity of the design.

What is drywall compound used for?
Drywall compound, often called 'mud,' in Berkeley is used to fill and smooth seams between drywall sheets, cover screw or nail indentations, and repair holes. The pros use the right compound for each stage of the finishing process. Call us to get started.
What's the best type of sandpaper for drywall?
For sanding drywall in Berkeley, a range of sandpaper grits is used, typically starting with a coarser grit (e.g., 100-120) for initial smoothing and moving to finer grits (e.g., 150-220) for the final finish. Pros often use pole sanders for large areas and sanding sponges for edges and details. Proper sanding is key to a smooth, paint-ready surface. We can schedule a pro to handle the sanding.
What's the best way to repair a drywall hole?
Repairing a drywall hole in Berkeley starts with cleaning the edges of the damage. Small holes might be filled with spackle, while larger ones require a patch. The pros will cut out the damaged section, install backing if needed, and then fit a new piece of drywall. They'll tape, mud, and sand it seamlessly.
