Using Colored Drywall Textures – Home Remodeling Secrets

If you’ve been in the remodeling business as long as I have, chances are you’ve found or created your own home remodeling secrets. Successful home remodeling contractors know all the tricks of the trade and rarely give them, but I’m going to share one with you that could save you a lot of time, pain, and hassle.

I’m talking about adding some kind of colorant to your drywall texture, so you can really see what has been sprayed on the wall. Think about this for a moment, whenever you use drywall products, there is a good chance that all of the plaster, joint compound, toppings, and even the texture of the drywall will be one color and so course, the color is white.

You can use food coloring, cement coloring, or even paint to create a color other than white. Simply add a small amount of paint or food coloring to this product, while mixing its texture. Once you have created a different drywall texture color, it will be easier for you to see the areas you have covered while applying the product to the walls.

Now for tip number two, let’s say you used a white plaster and your walls are now white. Then you use a brown drywall spray texture compound, but you don’t think you have covered enough area or the job is incomplete. Now you can go back to white or mix a different color.

I rarely give remodeling advice like this, but I am getting older and would like to share most of my construction knowledge with as many people as possible.
