Drywall Repair in Fort Washington

Fort Washington properties near the Potomac River sometimes experience humidity issues affecting drywall. Homes in Tantallon, along Indian Head Highway, and near Piscataway Creek need careful moisture assessment when repairs involve water damage. We test with moisture meters, remove all compromised material, and install moisture-resistant or mold-resistant drywall.

The area includes homes from multiple eras. Older properties in Friendly and Forest Heights have foundation settling creating typical crack patterns. Newer developments in Tantallon feature modern construction with different characteristic issues like nail pops and corner bead damage from active households.

Plaster repairs in historic Fort Washington homes require different approaches than drywall. We evaluate structural integrity, use appropriate bonding methods, and match existing textures. Full drywall installation over stable plaster is sometimes the best solution for extensively damaged walls.

Professional Installation

Basement finishing is popular throughout Fort Washington as families create additional living space. Properties near Swan Creek, around Fort Foote, and in neighborhoods off Fort Washington Road frequently convert basements. We handle complete projects from moisture assessment through final paint.

Proper installation prevents future problems. Layout planning minimizes seams while maximizing strength. Fastening follows code requirements. Taping uses paper tape embedded in compound for strongest seams. Multiple compound coats with progressive widening create invisible transitions.

Ceilings require special attention. Proper screw spacing prevents sagging. Recessed lighting needs precise cutting without surrounding damage. Popcorn removal in older homes includes asbestos testing before proceeding.

Texture and Finishing

Fort Washington homes have various textures from smooth walls in newer Tantallon construction to knockdown and orange peel in older neighborhoods. We match these precisely using professional equipment and proven techniques. Smooth finishes get level 5 treatment when specified to prevent any shadowing under paint.

Interior Painting

Paint preparation determines longevity. We clean all surfaces thoroughly, fill every imperfection, caulk gaps, and apply appropriate primers. Stain blocking primers seal water damage and smoke discoloration. Bonding primers prepare surfaces when changing paint types.

Application uses quality techniques producing professional results. Multiple thin coats with proper drying time outperform rushed single coats. We help select colors considering your specific lighting and room orientation. Sheen selection matches function from flat ceilings to semi-gloss trim.
