Texture Matching Challenge
Texture matching is the most skilled aspect of drywall repair — getting patch texture to blend seamlessly with existing knockdown, orange peel, or smooth finish. Always ask contractors for examples of previous texture match work.
Water Damage Drywall Replacement
Water-damaged drywall (brown staining, softness) must be replaced — repair alone won’t address mould risk. Full wall replacement including vapour barrier: $15–$30/sq ft installed.
