Drywall repair and texture that actually matches.
Patching is easy. Making the repair disappear under paint is the part most crews get wrong.
Quick answer
Bighorn Painting provides drywall repair and texture matching in Wheat Ridge, Colorado, including cracks, holes, nail pops, seam separation and water-damaged drywall, plus knockdown, orange peel and hand-applied texture matching and popcorn ceiling removal. Repairs are primed before painting so the patch does not flash through the finish. We are fully insured, carry over 20 years of experience, and back every project with a 5-year workmanship warranty.

When homeowners call us about this
Seasonal cracks
Colorado's dry air and seasonal movement open seams, especially above doors and windows.
Nail pops
Framing movement pushes fasteners through the surface. They need setting and refinishing, not just filling.
Water damage
Once the leak is fixed, soft drywall has to come out rather than be painted over.
Texture mismatch
A flat patch against knockdown shows in every raking light. Matching takes practice.
Popcorn ceilings
Common in Wheat Ridge's 1960s and 70s homes. Removal, skim coating and refinishing, with dust containment.
Plaster in older homes
Fruitdale-era houses often have plaster rather than drywall, which repairs differently.

Drywall Repair and Texture questions from Wheat Ridge homeowners
Do you repair drywall or only paint?
Both. Repairs are part of most interior projects, and we also take repair-only work when that is all you need.
Can you match my texture?
Usually. Knockdown, orange peel and hand textures can be matched closely. Very distinctive hand textures sometimes need a larger area refinished to blend invisibly.
Why does my patch show through the paint?
Almost always because the repair was not primed. Bare joint compound absorbs paint differently than the surrounding wall.
Can you remove popcorn ceilings?
Yes, with containment and dust control, then skim coating, priming and painting. Ceilings in pre-1978 homes should be tested before removal.
Do you work on plaster walls?
Yes. Older Wheat Ridge homes often have plaster, which needs different repair materials and technique than modern drywall.
How long do repairs take?
Small patches can be same-day. Larger repairs need drying time between coats of compound, which usually means a second visit before painting.
