Custom Wall Texturing: Skip Trowel & Smooth Finish in Riverside, CA

For luxury homes and custom projects in Riverside, CA, standard spray textures often aren't enough. You need a finish that adds genuine character and artistry to your walls. Montano’s Painting offers specialized, hand-applied custom texturing services, including Old World Skip Trowel, Santa Fe, and Level 5 Smooth Wall finishes.

Hand-Applied Artistry

Unlike Orange Peel or Knockdown, which are sprayed on by a machine, custom textures are applied by hand using a trowel. This requires a high level of skill and artistic consistency.

  • Skip Trowel: This imperfect, rustic finish is perfect for Spanish, Tuscan, or Mediterranean-style homes common in Southern California. The irregular, overlapping layers of compound add warmth and "movement" to the walls.
  • Smooth Wall (Level 5): The ultimate modern luxury. Achieving a perfectly smooth wall requires multiple layers of skim coating and sanding. It creates a gallery-like surface that reflects light beautifully and makes paint colors appear richer.

Transforming Your Space

Changing the texture of your walls can completely alter the vibe of a house. A heavy Spanish texture can make a new home feel historic and grounded, while a smooth finish can make an older home feel ultra-modern and sleek. We work with you to select a texture profile that complements your architecture and interior design vision.

The Montano’s Difference

We take pride in our craftsmanship. We ensure that the texture is consistent from floor to ceiling and room to room. We also use high-quality primers to seal these custom surfaces, ensuring your paint job looks flawless for years to come.
