Expert Drywall Repair in Clinton

Clinton’s homes span from 1960s split-levels near Piscataway Road to newer construction around Malcolm Road. Each era has specific issues we know well. Older homes often show foundation settling cracks at door corners and along ceiling seams. We evaluate whether cracks indicate completed settling or ongoing movement, then use appropriate repair methods from flexible mesh tape for active areas to standard paper tape for stable cracks.

Basement moisture is common in Clinton due to the area’s clay soil. Properties near Branch Avenue and throughout Brandywine frequently need water damage repairs. We test moisture levels with meters, remove all affected material back to dry framing, treat studs with antimicrobial solution, and install moisture-resistant drywall. Covering wet walls without addressing the source guarantees mold growth and failed repairs.

Newer developments near Surratts Manor see typical new construction issues like nail pops as framing lumber dries. We properly reset these with new screws placed strategically to prevent recurrence. Doorknob holes, wall anchor failures, and accident damage get repaired with methods matched to size, from mesh patches for small holes to cut-back-to-studs repairs for large damage.

Drywall Installation and Basement Finishing

Basement finishing is popular in Clinton neighborhoods as families convert unused space into living areas. We handle everything from moisture assessment through final paint. Exterior drainage must work properly before finishing any basement. We verify this, then install appropriate insulation and moisture-resistant drywall on exterior walls.

Garage walls connecting to living spaces require 5/8 inch Type X fire-rated drywall per Maryland code. We install this correctly so you pass inspection. New construction gets proper screw spacing, staggered seams to prevent long crack lines, and finish levels appropriate for your lighting and paint choices.

Texture Matching

Older Clinton homes around Piscataway often have knockdown or orange peel texture. We match these precisely using professional spray equipment and proper timing. Smooth wall repairs in newer homes get level 5 finishing when needed to prevent shadowing. Popcorn ceiling removal is common in pre-1980s homes, always with asbestos testing first.

Interior Painting

We prep properly because that determines longevity. All surfaces get cleaned, especially in homes near busy roads like Branch Avenue where dust accumulates. Holes get filled, cracks get caulked, glossy surfaces get deglossed. Stains get sealed with appropriate primers before finish coats.

We use quality paints applied in multiple thin coats with proper drying time. Color selection considers your specific lighting since rooms facing different directions show colors differently. Sheen levels match room function from flat on ceilings to semi-gloss on trim.

We work throughout Clinton from Aire Acres to areas near Andrews Air Force Base, Surratt House, and Clinton Town Center. Property managers use us for turnover work. Homeowners choose us for renovations around Robert Frost and Surratt Clinton Elementary.
