Duluth Drywall exists because this city's walls need more than a generic patch crew. Half the housing stock predates drywall entirely; the other half lives through forty-degree indoor humidity swings between January and July. Finding someone who repairs plaster as plaster, checks moisture before closing a ceiling, and still returns calls about a single crack — that gap is the company.
We Know These Houses
Duluth's neighborhoods are a museum of American housing, and we've worked in every wing: the grand plaster homes of Congdon and the East End, the foursquares and Craftsman bungalows stacked up the Hillside and out through Lakeside and Lester Park, the sturdy working-class housing of Lincoln Park and West Duluth, and the newer construction over the hill and in Hermantown. Each era fails its own way — keyed plaster letting go of old lath, ice-dam stains at the top-floor ceiling line, winter cracks over every door — and knowing which failure you're looking at is most of fixing it for good.
How We Work
- Diagnose before mud. Movement crack or moisture? Failing plaster key or surface craze? The right repair starts with the right answer, and we'll show you what we found.
- The estimate is the price. Written, itemized, free — and if a $200 repair solves it, nobody here will sell you the $2,000 version.
- Dust stays contained. Plaster and compound dust are legendary; our masking, sealing, and daily cleanup are too.
- Moisture verified, always. No stain gets sealed and no cavity gets closed until a meter says dry. In ice-dam country, that rule is everything.
What We Do
Everything walls: repairs in drywall and plaster, installation, finishing and skim coating, framing, popcorn ceiling removal, and water damage restoration — for homes and businesses in Duluth, Hermantown, Cloquet, and across the Twin Ports.
