Frankford is a small, close-knit community in southern Sussex County, positioned along the Route 113 corridor between Georgetown and Selbyville. Its residential character is a mix of long-established homes and newer construction that has grown up around the town's agricultural roots. KD Drywall N Paint serves Frankford homeowners with drywall repair, water damage restoration, and interior painting.
Many of Frankford's older homes have walls that reflect decades of settling, previous repairs, and the natural wear that comes with age. When we work in these homes, we take the time to assess the substrate before applying any compound. Where surfaces are chalky or soft, we prime with Zinsser Gardz before taping and mudding — a step that most contractors skip but that makes a significant difference in how long the repair holds.
Frankford has seen steady residential growth along its surrounding roads, and newer homes in the area generate a consistent volume of post-construction touch-up work and post-trade patching. Whether a plumber has opened a wall to access supply lines or a homeowner is finishing a renovation, we close the work cleanly and match the existing texture so the repair disappears after painting.

Yes. We assess each situation individually. If the drywall is structurally sound and dry, we seal it with Zinsser BIN shellac primer and refinish. If it has been compromised by moisture, we cut it out and replace it.

A few local facts about the community we serve.
Frankford was established in 1808 when a country store known as Long's Store was opened at the headwaters of Vines Branch, a tributary of the Indian River Bay. The settlement grew around that store and eventually took the name Frankford Village in 1848.
Frankford is located in what was historically known as Dagsborough Hundred, one of the original administrative divisions of Sussex County. Delaware is one of the few states in the country that still uses the 'hundred' as an official geographic subdivision.
The First National Bank of Frankford, built in the early 20th century, is one of the town's most recognized historic buildings. Local officials have pursued historic designation for the structure in recognition of its architectural and community significance.
