How should I prepare my home before tape and texture work begins?
Clear furniture and wall décor from the workspace and cover nearby items to protect them from dust. In Austin’s humid climate, good ventilation helps the drying process, so open windows or run fans when possible.
2. How long does drywall taping and texturing take in Austin homes?
Most residential projects take 2–4 days, depending on wall size, number of rooms, and desired texture type. Humidity in Central Texas can slightly extend drying times, especially during the summer months.
3. What are the most popular wall textures for Austin homes?
Homeowners in Austin often choose knockdown, orange peel, or smooth Level 5 finishes. Knockdown gives a modern look that hides imperfections, while smooth finishes are popular in newer builds and remodels across areas like Mueller and Circle C Ranch.
