What Is Drywall Repair, Texture Match & Painting?
A finish-focused service that takes opened or damaged assemblies (from leaks, remediation, or remodels) and returns them to indistinguishable condition.
We: verify dry substrate → patch and tape to the correct level (ASTM/GA) → replicate the exact texture → prime with the right sealer → apply matched color/sheens with tight cut lines.
Why Choose White Glove Plumbing
Cause-to-cure continuity: If damage followed a leak or demo, we handled the dry-down—so we know what the substrate needs to finish right.
Texture specialists: We replicate orange peel, knockdown (light/medium/heavy), skip trowel, Level 5 smooth, acoustic removal blends, and custom hand textures.
Coatings done right: Stain-blocking primers, sheen alignment, correct mil thickness, and crisp masking for laser-straight lines.
Occupied-space pros: Soft containment, HEPA dust control, low-odor/low-VOC products, and meticulous daily housekeeping.
Immediate Actions (What to Do Now)
Keep any mitigation photos/moisture logs—they justify repair scope for insurers.
Avoid DIY spackle over wet or un-primed areas—flash-through is hard to fix later.
If ceilings sag or stain is growing, call us—moisture may still be present.
Schedule a quick finish assessment so we can verify dryness and plan the perfect blend.
Common Scenarios We Handle
Flood cuts after water mitigation; seam re-tape and texture blend
Ceiling patches from plumbing/electrical access, fan/fixture moves
Stain blocking after roof/window leaks (proper primer before paint)
Acoustic (popcorn) removal with smooth or new texture finish
Remodel changes (closed doorways, niche infill, layout tweaks)
Insurance finishes where color/sheens must match existing
Verify Dryness & Plan the Blend
Moisture check to local baseline; define texture type, sheen, and blend boundaries to avoid picture-framing; note sun and raking-light issues.
Patch, Tape & Substrate Prep
Backing as needed; fastenments; tape, mud, and feather to appropriate finish level; sand and light-skim to remove telegraphing.
Texture Replication
Match aggregate size, pattern density, and knock timing (for knockdown) or apply Level 5 skim for ultra-smooth; create a test card for approval when needed.
Prime & Seal
Stain-blocking/sealing primer (especially after water, smoke, or tannins); full-spot or area prime to control porosity and sheen.
Finish Painting
Color match or full-wall/ceiling repaint for uniformity; correct mil build per manufacturer; align sheen (flat/matte/eggshell/satin/semi).
Detailing & Clean Handoff
Reinstall plates/fixtures, caulk lines, straighten edges, and HEPA clean; provide a labeled touch-up kit and close-out photos.
What’s Included
Moisture verification & scope planning
Drywall patch/tape to proper finish level with substrate fixes
Exact texture match (knockdown/OP/skip trowel/Level 5/smooth)
Stain-blocking primer and porosity control
Finish painting with color/sheens matched and crisp masking
Touch-up kit & documentation (photos, colors, products)
Costs & Timelines (What to Expect)
Typical duration:
Small patches & single-wall blends: ½–1 day (plus dry times).
Multi-room or ceilings: 1–3 days depending on complexity and cure.Cost drivers: Patch size/quantity, texture complexity, ceiling height/access, stain-blocking needs, repaint vs. blend, and occupied phasing.
Clear estimate: Line items for patching, texture, primer, and paint—with options to repaint full surfaces for best uniformity.
Insurance & Claims Help
Carrier-ready records: Mitigation photos/logs, flood-cut extents, and finish scope by room.
Like-kind vs. upgrades: We separate covered finish restoration from elective color changes or full repaints.
Supplements: Hidden tape failures or framing issues discovered during finish work are documented for approval.
(Coverage varies by policy; not financial advice.)
Risks of Waiting (Why Act Now)
Stain migration without proper primers, causing visible flashing.
Edge cracking or nail pops if fasteners/joints aren’t addressed soon.
Texture mismatch becomes more obvious as light/season changes.
IAQ/dust concerns from unfinished surfaces in occupied spaces.
Methods, Materials & Quality Standards
Dry-first doctrine: We won’t close or paint until moisture meets local baseline.
Finish levels: GA-214 standards (Level 3–5) based on light and sheen.
Texture controls: Nozzle/orifice, mud viscosity, air pressure, and knock timing matched to existing; hand-floated options for custom looks.
Primers & paints: Stain-blocking for water/smoke/tannin; low-VOC acrylics; sheen-matched systems; proper recoat and cure intervals.
Edge quality: Caulk at change-of-plane; razor-straight masking; feathered blends to existing breaks.
Site controls: Soft containment, HEPA dust extraction, daily housekeeping, and low-odor product selection.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will you paint just the patch or the whole wall?
For true invisibility, we often paint the full wall or ceiling—small patch-only touch-ups can “picture frame” in certain light.
How do you match our texture exactly?
We sample and adjust mud mix, tip size, pressure, and timing, then do a test card before blending.
Can you fix popcorn/acoustic ceilings?
Yes—partial blends or full removal, then smooth/knockdown/orange peel per your choice.
What about water stains that keep bleeding through?
We use stain-blocking primers designed to lock in tannins and smoke/water marks before finish paint.
Do you handle high stairwells or vaulted ceilings?
Absolutely—lifts and scaffold as needed; we plan for access and safety.
Can you match our existing paint color?
Yes—spectro-matching or repaint to a clean break for perfect uniformity. We’ll provide color codes in your close-out packet.
