Basement drywall and farmhouse paint
Finished basements are the drywall work here. A sump pump that quit or a window well that filled takes the bottom two feet of drywall with it, and the rebuild is cut, dry, hang, finish and paint. Upstairs it is popcorn ceilings and the first repaint since the house was built.
Eldersburg and Sykesville basements from the 90s were finished with drywall sitting right on the slab. When it wicks water, we cut it at two feet, hang the new board a half inch off the floor, and the baseboard hides the gap. That is the difference between fixing it once and fixing it every spring.

Carroll County drywall and paint questions
- Can you rebuild basement drywall after a flood?
- Yes, once the water is out and the source is fixed. We cut the wet board at a clean line, pull the wet insulation, dry the cavity, and hang new board off the floor so it cannot wick again.
- Do you paint farmhouse exteriors?
- Trim, porches and doors, yes. Whole house wood siding is quoted after a walk around, because scraping old paint is most of the cost and we want to see it before we give a number.
- How far north do you go?
- Westminster, Manchester, Hampstead and Taneytown are all covered with no trip charge. We group the northern jobs by day.
