Add more visual interest or easily hide nicks and dings to your walls with a textured spray paint finish. Knockdown, holy smooth, orange peel, and popcorn finishes look beautiful in any home in St Paul and the surrounding area.
Orange peel is a popular spray-on texture because it hides imperfections but is not as dramatic as a popcorn texture. Preferred by many homeowners in St Paul because of its exceptionally fast drying time, orange peel texture does not require any trowel work or a professional spray applicator to control the dimple size.
While many homeowners are removing older popcorn ceilings, newer, more updated versions of the popcorn texture are going up. Used at home for its insulating properties, today's popcorn texture is visually crisper with distinct peaks and valleys.
One of the most popular textured spray finishes in homes today is "knockdown." The knockdown texture has three types: mud trowel, splatter and stomp. All have textured relief characteristics but feature a distinct look.
Used in homes throughout the St Paul area, "mud trowel" provides the most subtle texture. Drywall mud is applied over the surface and then skimmed off to create a subtle relief using a drywall trowel with a curved blade. This technique requires several coats, expert technique and longer drying time.
The least expensive and quickest to apply option, splatter has the look of Spanish stucco. Wet drywall mud is sprayed with a hopper gun. Then we flatten the peaks with a knockdown knife. This creates a subtler look than stomp with a subtle raised texture that leaves around 60 percent of the surface flat on your wall.
Sometimes called holy smooth, this technique provides a nubby more elevated texture in your home than splatter or mud trowel. To create the spikes the professional painters from LA Painting and Cleaning LLC apply a thin mix of drywall mud with a paint roller. Finally, a crows-foot brush is stomped into the mud before flattening it with a standard knockdown knife.
With the right type of spray gun and expertise, texture spray paint or knockdown treatments provide consistent texture within a short period of time. One of the most important, but often overlooked, aspects of texture spraying or knockdown application is the prep work that must be done in your home first.

Textured spraying is commonly used for interior walls to create various decorative effects. Some popular uses include:
It is best to use textured spraying on walls in a matte or eggshell finish. Paint with a gloss finish will make the texture look harsh and visually overpower your room decor. A matte paint will give it a more subtle look that blends with other features in the room. Matte paint will look best if it is applied with a "high-nap" or "fluffy" roller brush.
Yes, texture spray painting walls can be more difficult than painting standard walls because brushes and rollers can miss indentations.
Sanding textured walls is not recommended because it can be difficult to sand evenly and may remove some of the texture.
Yes, we can spray texture over paint, but it's essential to prepare the surface properly to ensure adhesion. This involves cleaning the surface, sanding it lightly to roughen the paint, and applying a primer before spraying the texture.
The duration of wall texturing depends on various factors, such as the size of the area, the complexity of the texture pattern, and the drying time of the materials used. Typically, it can take anywhere from a few hours to a couple of days to complete the texturing process for a standard-sized room.
Wall texturing offers several benefits, including:
Lead abatement is the process of reducing or eliminating lead hazards, particularly in older buildings where lead-based paint may be present. This process involves safely removing or encapsulating lead-containing materials to prevent lead exposure and contamination, thus protecting occupants' health and the environment.

Luis and son were very easy to work with. The estimate came back very quickly and were able to start within a few days. They repaired, primed and painted about 60 window frames and some soffits. Some at heights others would not touch. They did quick, quality work and always kept me informed on the project status. Thanks again for a job well done.

Luis and crew did an amazing job on painting my kitchen cabinets. They were on time each day, friendly and responsive to any questions that I had. Would recommend them to others looking for future painting projects!

We had La Painting and Cleaning refinish our deck, paint our pergola, apply a protective coat to a tree sculpture, stain our raised garden beds and our swing set. I thought their prices were reasonable and they completed the work in a timely manner. They were easy to work with and I would hire them again!
