Drywall and painting across Duluth
Duluth climbs the hill above Lake Superior, and its houses span more than a century. Many homes in the East End, Hunters Park, Lakeside and Lincoln Park date from the early 1900s, with plaster walls, high ceilings and framing that has settled over the decades. Newer neighborhoods up on the hill, in Duluth Heights and Piedmont, lean toward drywall construction that is ready for remodels and basement finishes.
Common projects in Duluth homes
Finished basements are one of the most frequent jobs in the city, since many Duluth houses were built with full basements that owners want to turn into living space. Remodels are the other big category: kitchens and bathrooms opened up, walls moved, and old plaster replaced where it has cracked or been damaged. In older houses, new drywall often has to meet plaster that is thicker and not quite flat, and blending the two is where careful taping and mudding matters most.
Weather and the lake
Humid summers off the lake and long, cold winters both affect drywall work. Joint compound dries slower in a cold or damp space, so we plan coats around the conditions in your house. Exterior painting is scheduled for the warmer, drier months, when paint can cure properly between coats.
