Your Trusted Drywall Repair & Installation Contractor in Arlington

Arlington is dense — about 8,949 people per square mile — and 88% of its homes predate 1980, so most work here means multi-family buildings, tight street access, and federal RRP lead rules on nearly every surface we disturb. In housing this age we're usually working next to original plaster, so the patch has to match a texture that was never machine-made — and pre-1980 walls get lead-safe containment as standard. We feather repairs well past the patch so the fix disappears into the wall.

Arlington (Middlesex County) is a urban community — most renovations here center on weathering, lead-safe prep, and color-matching to existing exteriors. The town has a population of about 46,015 and a median home value near $885K (US Census, ACS 2023), and sits about 21 miles from our Hudson shop.

At $885,000, the typical Arlington home runs about 55% above the median of the 143 towns we serve. In practice that means more detailed trim, more color matching, and homeowners who want to see the prep work before the first coat.

The median Arlington home was built in 1943, and 88% of the town's housing predates 1980. Most jobs here involve a home old enough to fall under the EPA's pre-1978 lead rule. We are a Lead-Safe certified firm, so containment and HEPA cleanup are standard on any surface we sand or scrape — not a line item added later.

30% of Arlington's housing sits in two- to four-unit buildings — the two- and three-deckers this part of Massachusetts is built from. That work means staging off porches and back stairs, coordinating with more than one household, and prepping clapboard that has been repainted many times over. At 61% owner-occupied, a real share of Arlington property is tenanted, so we are used to landlord timelines, turnover windows, and quoting work that has to last between tenants.

Arlington has 56 properties on the National Register of Historic Places — among them Milestone and Winn Farm. A register that size tells you what the housing stock is like: original millwork, many layers of paint, and exteriors where matching a period profile matters more than working fast.

We work out of Hudson, 20.7 miles away, and regularly in neighboring Belmont, Winchester, Medford — so a crew is usually already in the area rather than traveling in for a single job.

What Arlington's housing is typically like

Arlington's median home was built in 1943 (US Census). Homes of this period in Massachusetts are generally pre-war stock — commonly Cape Cod, Colonial Revival, Tudor Revival and minimal traditional.

Smaller, well-built houses with plaster interiors and simpler exterior trim than the Victorian stock before them. Lead is still a given. Original wood windows are common and are usually where exterior prep time goes.

Because that predates the 1978 residential lead ban, we treat Arlington work as lead-safe by default — we are an EPA Lead-Safe certified firm, and containment and HEPA cleanup are part of the job rather than an extra.

FAQ

Drywall Repair & Installation in Arlington, MA — Common Questions

How much does drywall repair cost in Arlington?
Small patches (doorknob holes, nail pops) run $150–$300; mid-size repairs (water-damaged ceiling section, large wall patch) $400–$900; full sheet replacement $250–$450 per sheet installed and finished. Arlington homes built before 1978 may require lead-safe handling, which adds ~$120 per affected area.
Can you match my existing Arlington wall texture?
Yes. traditional Arlington homes typically have either smooth, light orange-peel, or knockdown texture. We hand-blend repairs and feather them 12–18 inches past the patch so the finish disappears into the existing wall.
Do you handle water damage repair after a roof or plumbing leak?
Yes — and the most important step is making sure the source is fixed and the area is dry before we drywall. We test moisture, remove damaged board, treat for mold if needed, and re-board, mud, sand, prime and paint to match.
