Drywall Retexturing Services
Drywall retexturing is our specialty — if you’re landing here, you’re already in the right place.
Most contractors in this space come from new construction. They know how to texture a fresh wall, but working inside an occupied home is a different job entirely. We’ve spent decades doing exactly that — prepping around your furniture, your schedule, and your daily routine, then delivering a finish worth being proud of.
Our process is thorough by design. Before a single coat goes up, we mask everything off. Then we roll the walls with Westpac all-purpose mud, let it set, coat again, and sand. In most cases, start to finish in under a week.
We’re also conscious that you’re living here. We clean up at the end of every workday and treat your home the way we’d want ours treated.
If you’re considering retexturing in San Diego County — one room or the whole house — we’re the team that’s done this long enough to have the process dialed in.
Ready to Get Started? Here's How It Works
No complicated back-and-forth. Just tell us a little about your project and we’ll take it from there.
1. Fill Out the Form
Leave your info and a quick description of what you’re looking for. No need to have all the details figured out — that’s what the next step is for.
2. We'll Reach Out Quickly
We’ll follow up to ask a few simple questions: your location, the scope of the work, and a couple of photos if you have them. That’s usually all we need.
3. Get a Quote — Often the Same Day
If the photos tell the story, we can give you a firm number fast. For larger projects we’ll give you an honest ballpark before anyone has to show up.
4. We Schedule Around You
Once pricing works, we pick a time that fits your schedule. Most repairs are done the same day. Larger projects typically get started within a few days of booking.

Our Process
Step 1: Full Protection Before Anything Touches a Wall
We mask off everything — floors, windows, doors, light fixtures, outlets. Furniture, curtains, and anything that interrupts a clean wall-to-wall pass gets moved or removed. The more thorough the prep, the cleaner the finish. This step sets up everything that comes after it.
Step 2: First Coat
We use Westpac all-purpose mud, applied with a specialized roller that leaves zero contamination or micro-scratches. The first coat is intentionally thin — just enough to bond to the existing paint and fill the gaps left by the old texture.
Step 3: Setting, Scraping, and Second Coat
We let the mud set around 24 hours. Once dry, we scrape any rough edges and apply a second coat — sometimes a third, depending on how heavy the original texture was. That call is made based on what the wall actually needs.
Step 4: Sanding and Light Inspection
Once the final coat sets, we sand and inspect under direct light. Light catches what the eye misses at normal angles. Any imperfection gets addressed before we move on.
Step 5: Final Cleanup
Because we sweep and vacuum at the end of every workday, the final cleanup is always quick. We roll up the construction paper, pull the masking, and the floors look exactly the way they did when we started.

Costs can vary depending on the size of the area, texture style, and surface condition. On average, it ranges between $1.50 to $3.50 per square foot. We provide free, detailed estimates to help you plan.
3. What types of textures can I choose from?
We offer a variety of textures including smooth, knockdown, orange peel, skip trowel, and custom finishes. The best texture depends on your design preference and the function of the space.

Most projects are completed within 1 to 3 days. Factors like surface prep, room size, and drying times can influence the overall timeline. We always aim to work efficiently without compromising quality.
