@homeloveconstruction: Contractor communication: “Make THIS look like THAT.” Subcontractor: “Got it.” Narrator: He did not, in fact, get it. 😂 The bottom half of this wall had been replaced, but the original drywall above it had a much heavier texture. The job? Match the new texture to the old texture as closely as possible. Not necessarily absolutely perfect. Just close enough that the wall doesn’t look like two completely different walls got introduced halfway down. 😂 Brad tells the subcontractor: “The bottom needs MORE texture.” So what happens? He adds texture to the TOP. The part that was already heavier. Brad: “Sir… we were trying to make these MATCH.” 😭 And now we’ve gone from: Top = heavy Bottom = light to: Top = EVEN HEAVIER Bottom = still light 😂 If you’ve ever managed subcontractors, you already know there are moments when you genuinely wonder whether you said the words out loud or only thought them. Contractors, give us your best “I cannot believe this just happened” subcontractor story in the comments. For drywall, interior renovations, remodeling, additions, and whole-home projects throughout Tampa, Clearwater, Dunedin, Safety Harbor, and Tampa Bay, Home Love Construction pays attention to the details that make a repair actually blend back into the home. #professional #construction #newhome #tampa

if it isn't done with a professional machine made just for texture, not a hopper, then this will happen. but the right way to do it is to skim the entire wall then retexture it. 100% every time.

It's a sun wall. Any time light reflects off the surface at an angle you will get a halo. Texture at production drywall is a much higher PSI and mud type and consistency. You have to skim the entire surface corner to corner. Typically GC’S nor homeowners want to pay for skimming out the entire surface which is required to get that truly blended finsih. You can somewhat get away with this on dark non light reflective walls, but not on light reflective surfaces. GC’S should know that and account for the actual cost to do so. It's also your selection of the cheaper subs that reflects the finish.

Easiest way I’ve found is for the drywall crew to do a medium knockdown in the whole room to make it look like it’s not a patch, works really well.

Just as easy to skim and retexture the whole wall.

Never should’ve tried to match should’ve just done the whole wall. It’s almost impossible to match. Easier and better results.

This is why you should skim the whole wall. Retexture the whole wall.

Because the drywaller is probably an illegal who doesn't understand English.
