Standard
$275 – $388
The most common outcome: typical scope, mid-grade materials, a little prep or adjustment along the way.
Extensive
$388 – $450+
Larger scope, premium materials, difficult access, or repairs needed before the main work can start.
Typical time on site
About 2 hrs – 4 hrs for a standard job, not counting material pickup or a return visit if something unexpected turns up.
Labor vs. materials
Roughly 80% labor and 20% materials for this type of work.
What drives the cost of texture matching
Texture style
Orange peel sprays quickly; knockdown, skip trowel and hand-applied patterns take practice and more passes to blend.
Patch size
The larger the area, the harder it is to feather the new texture into the old without a visible edge.
Paint after texture
New texture takes paint differently than aged wall, so painting the full wall is usually the only way to hide it.

DIY or hire a pro for texture matching?
Usually worth hiring out
Possible if you've done this exact work before, but the margin for error is thin. One bad cut, cracked tile, or slow leak costs more to put right than the original quote — and you still end up paying a pro to finish it.
Most homeowners in this range end up hiring out: the price is fixed before work starts, and the pro who does the job stands behind it.
