Materials & styles
Find textures for SketchUp in the built-in Materials panel or 3D Warehouse, check a downloaded image's license and turn it into a material at its real repeat size. I'd set that repeat before adding photoreal detail, because even a well-shaded surface looks wrong when its tiles are several times too large.

Open the textured face, turn the pattern with the positioning pins or the Rotate menu, then check its repeat size before painting the next face.

Where to find textures for SketchUp and how to import them
Find built-in and Warehouse materials, turn a licensed image into a correctly sized texture, and check when PBR maps or a paid Web material editor matter.
