Water Leak Repair and Ceiling Repair and Painting Restore Hallway in Baltimore City Home

FR Contractors and Investors completed a focused water leak repair, ceiling repair, and interior painting project in a Baltimore City home. Over two working days, we removed damaged plaster and drywall from a 3-foot by 12-foot area in the hallway ceiling. We installed new drywall, applied joint compound, and prepped the surface with Sherwin-Williams Prep Rite ProBlock Primer before painting with Sherwin-Williams Pro Mar Ceiling Paint in white. Only the repaired area was painted to respect the homeowner’s wishes.

Background/Story:

The homeowners had been dealing with a stubborn water leak caused by a neighbor’s roof. After months of waiting for the roof to be fixed, the damage to their hallway ceiling worsened, with plaster falling in chunks. They reached out to us for a quick and clean fix.

Because ceiling repair work creates a lot of dust, we carefully sealed the workspace with plastic sheeting to keep dust contained and protect the rest of the home. The repair focused just on the damaged section, and the homeowners appreciated our respect for their space by painting only the affected area. They approved the estimate on the spot and even invited us to chat over coffee before work began.
