Skip trowel texture remains currently relevant, particularly in homes with Mediterranean, Spanish, or rustic design elements. Though minimalist smooth walls have gained popularity in contemporary homes, skip trowel offers practical benefits beyond aesthetics by effectively concealing wall imperfections. Unlike popcorn ceilings that have fallen from favor, skip trowel's subtle dimensionality continues to appeal to homeowners seeking character and visual interest in their living spaces.
Neither texture is inherently superior—they serve different aesthetic preferences. Skip trowel creates a hand-crafted, artisanal appearance with more pronounced variations, while knockdown provides a more uniform, subtly textured surface. Skip trowel typically costs between $1.25 and $2.00 per square foot, similar to knockdown's price range. Your choice should depend on your desired look: skip trowel for a more distinctive, Old World character or knockdown for a more consistent, contemporary texture.
When walls remain structurally sound but cosmetically flawed, skim coating generally costs less than complete replacement. New drywall installation ranges from $1.50 to $3.50 per square foot, making it substantially more expensive than surface treatments. However, when walls show significant damage, moisture issues, or potential hazardous materials in older textures, replacement often proves more economical long-term. Evaluate your specific wall conditions carefully before deciding.
For a 1000-square-foot project, professional skip trowel application typically costs between $1,250 and $2,000 based on the standard rate of $1.25 to $2.00 per square foot. This estimate assumes your drywall is already installed, taped, and mudded. If your project requires these preliminary steps or wall repairs, additional costs will apply. Always request a detailed estimate that accounts for your specific project requirements and existing wall conditions.
