Stylish texture for walls and ceilings.

At Better Paint LLC, we know that texture can bring walls and ceilings to life. Our Knockdown Texture Finishing service offers a unique way to add subtle visual interest, hide imperfections, and create a professional, upgraded look for any room or property.

This style of drywall texture is popular in both residential and commercial settings, providing a modern finish that stands out — without overwhelming your space.


What Is Knockdown Texture?

Knockdown texture is a drywall finishing technique that involves spraying or applying a thin compound to the surface, letting it partially dry, and then gently flattening the raised peaks with a drywall knife. The result is a mottled, dynamic texture that looks clean and stylish, while still offering a bit of dimension.

Think of it as the perfect middle ground between a flat finish and heavy orange peel or popcorn textures. It softens a room’s appearance, helps mask small flaws, and is ideal for large areas like:

  • Living rooms and hallways
  • Ceilings with directional lighting
  • Bedrooms or offices
  • Commercial interiors seeking subtle design

Benefits of Knockdown Texture

Visually Appealing – Adds a modern, professional look to any space
Covers Imperfections – Ideal for hiding patches, seams, and surface flaws
Versatile – Works on ceilings and walls, in both homes and businesses
Paint-Ready – Pairs beautifully with both flat and semi-gloss paints
Durable – Helps protect surfaces from minor wear and tear

Knockdown texture is also easy to clean and maintain, making it a great option for high-traffic areas.


Our Process: Professional Texture Application

At Better Paint LLC, we don’t believe in shortcuts. Our team has the tools, training, and experience to apply knockdown texture cleanly and evenly.

Here’s how we do it:

  1. Surface Prep – We repair all holes, dents, and inconsistencies first
  2. Masking & Protection – All surrounding areas are taped off and protected
  3. Application – We apply texture evenly using high-quality spray equipment
  4. Knockdown Technique – Once the compound partially sets, we flatten the peaks with precision
  5. Drying & Paint Prep – After curing, the surface is primed and ready for paint

You’re left with a clean, stylish finish that elevates your space — and lasts.
