Yes, a drywall patch can match textured ceiling, but only for small repairs, and it rarely disappears completely. Popcorn texture is sprayed on in a random pattern, so a hand-applied patch usually looks different once the ceiling is painted and the light hits it at an angle.

• Small patches: a spray texture can blend a hole or a water stain reasonably well, especially on unpainted or freshly painted ceilings.
• Large or several patches: these tend to show, and the whole ceiling often has to be redone for an even finish.
• Test first: chrysotile asbestos was mixed into ceiling texture through the 1970s and into the mid-1980s. Under Ontario Regulation 278/05, suspect material must be tested before it is disturbed, and sanding or scraping counts. We coordinate testing at cost, $300 to $500, with no markup.

If the patch will not blend, removal gives a smooth, uniform ceiling. Our all-inclusive rate is $4.50/sqft for unpainted popcorn, $6.50 for latex-painted and $7.50 for oil-base painted. That covers removal, two skim coats, primer and two coats of paint. Removal is not required by law, and the Ontario Building Code does not regulate popcorn ceilings.
