Drywall and paint in Baltimore County, MD
Baltimore County wraps around the city, and the walls change block by block. Towson and Catonsville have plaster over lath from the 40s and 50s. Owings Mills and Perry Hall have 80s and 90s drywall with a lot of oak kitchens that people now want painted white.
Or call or text (443) 998-2738. Hours 8 to 6, Monday through Saturday.
Plaster walls and oak kitchens
Plaster is the thing to get right here. A crack in a plaster wall is not a drywall patch, and a tech who treats it like one leaves a bump that shows through paint. Our crews use a bonding agent and a setting compound on plaster, and the estimate says which repair you are getting.
Towson and Catonsville kitchens from the 80s are mostly honey oak. Cabinet painting is the biggest request we get in this county, and oak needs a grain filler if you want a smooth white finish. We show you a filled door and an unfilled door before you pick.

Questions from Baltimore County homeowners
- Can you repair plaster or does it have to be replaced?
- Most plaster can be repaired. Cracks get cut back, bonded and filled with a setting compound. Plaster that has come loose from the lath gets screwed back with plaster washers or cut out and replaced with drywall shimmed flush. Both options go on the estimate with a price.
- Do you paint rowhomes in Parkville and Dundalk?
- Yes, and turnover paint between tenants is a regular job. A whole rowhome interior is quoted as one price with the prep listed room by room.
- How long does cabinet painting take in a kitchen we use every day?
- The doors are gone about a week. The boxes are brushed over two days and you can cook each evening. Hardware goes on the last day.
