Drywall, leaks & water damage in Walnut Hill
Flat and low-slope roofs and shared party walls are the usual leak points on Walnut Hill rowhomes. See flat roof leaks, party-wall leaks and roof leak repair.
Many older Walnut Hill homes still have original plaster, which needs a different repair than drywall. Read plaster vs. drywall or see drywall & plaster repair.
Spotted a stain or soft wall? We find the leak, fix it, then handle the water-damaged drywall. See signs of hidden leaks.
Services Walnut Hill homeowners ask for most
- Carpentry & Custom Builds: Trim, built-ins, shelving, stair treads and custom pieces built to fit the out-of-square walls that come with older houses.
