What Orange Peel Texture Is
Orange peel is a light sprayed texture with small, even bumps — like the skin of an orange. It is finer than knockdown. There is no trowel step to flatten the peaks. That makes it common in homes and offices that want a little hide without a heavy pattern.
Matching it is the job. Too coarse and the patch looks like knockdown. Too fine and it looks like a different wall. Ron Hogan Drywall has been family-owned since 1970. Send a close-up photo and we match what is already there, or spray a consistent new finish on a full room.
Orange Peel Work We Do
New Walls and Ceilings
Even orange peel on new hanging after taping — additions, remodels, offices, and rooms that should match the rest of the building.
Repair Matching
Holes, water damage, and tenant patches blended into the existing orange peel so you stop seeing the repair.
After Popcorn Removal
A light orange peel is a frequent choice once popcorn is off and the ceiling is repaired. Popcorn removal →
Orange Peel vs. Knockdown vs. Smooth
- Orange peel — fine sprayed bumps, no knockdown. Good hide, quieter look.
- Knockdown — sprayed, then flattened. Larger pattern. Knockdown page →
- Level 4 / Level 5 smooth — no texture. Shows lighting and paint sheen. Smooth finishes →
How We Do the Job
- Look at the existing texture and the light in the room.
- Finish joints so the base is sound.
- Spray orange peel to the same coarseness as the surrounding wall.
- Leave it ready for primer and paint.
As a planning range, professional orange peel often runs about $1–$2 per square foot depending on access, height, and whether it is a match or a full room. Your number comes from photos and a look at the job — no hidden fees.

Orange Peel FAQs
Can you match the orange peel already on my walls?
Yes. Matching existing orange peel is common on repairs and additions. A close-up photo is the best start.
Is orange peel outdated?
No. It is still one of the most common production and remodel textures because it hides small marks and stays quieter than knockdown.
Should I spray it myself?
A mismatch on a repair is hard to hide. For a wall that has to blend with the rest of the house, hire it.
Need Orange Peel Applied or Matched?
Text a photo of the wall. The family-owned Bay Area crew since 1970 will tell you what it takes.
