Expert drywall repair and interior painting for historic homes, new construction, and vacation properties in Lewes, Delaware. Free estimates. Serving all of Sussex County.
Request a Free EstimateCall or use our contact form. We'll schedule a visit — or review photos you send us if that's more convenient.
A written estimate is emailed to you within 24 hours. No obligation. Just a clear scope and price.
Once you accept the estimate, we lock in a start date and the project gets underway.
Upon completion, a walkthrough is done on-site — or finished photos are sent to you by text or email so you can see the final result firsthand.
Some homeowners want to be on-site and involved throughout the project. Others need everything handled while they're away. KD Drywall N Paint is built to work well in both situations — the process, the communication, and the quality of the finished work don't change based on whether you're present or not.
For owners who aren't local, in some cases an estimate can be provided from photos, but a site visit may be needed depending on the scope — all paperwork is handled by email, and progress photos are sent throughout the project. For those who are local and want to be hands-on, we're straightforward to work with and easy to communicate with at every stage.
Depending on the scope, an estimate can sometimes be provided from photos — though a site visit may be needed to assess certain issues in person.
Every estimate is delivered in writing before any work begins. You have a clear record of scope and cost.
Photos are sent throughout the project so you can follow along and see the finished result without being present.
We work directly with your property manager or rental management company for scheduling and access.
Lewes properties range from historic homes near the canal to newer construction along the Cape Henlopen corridor. Whatever the property and whoever the owner, the approach is the same: clear communication, written estimates, and work that holds up.
Lewes holds the distinction of being Delaware's first European settlement, established on June 3, 1631, when Dutch colonists founded a whaling station they called Zwaanendael — meaning "Valley of the Swans." The settlement was short-lived; the original thirty-two settlers were killed in a conflict with local inhabitants the following year. But the location proved too valuable to abandon. In 1682, when William Penn received the land that would become Delaware from the English Crown, the settlement was renamed Lewes after the town of Lewes in Sussex County, England.
Through the centuries that followed, Lewes endured pirate raids as late as 1698 and a British naval bombardment during the War of 1812 — the casualties of which were famously a wounded pig and a dead hen. One building in the historic district still bears an embedded cannonball from that bombardment. Today Lewes is home to the Delaware Bay and River Pilots Association, the University of Delaware College of Marine Studies, and the southern terminus of the Cape May–Lewes Ferry — a working port town that has never stopped being exactly what it was founded to be.
The Cannonball House in Lewes — struck during the British bombardment of April 6–7, 1813 — still stands today and is maintained as a historic property. The cannonball embedded in its foundation is one of the most recognizable landmarks in the town's historic district.

Yes. Many Lewes property owners live out of state and aren't available to be on-site. We manage everything through email, send progress photos during the work, and provide completion documentation when the job is finished. You'll know exactly what was done and how it looks.
Yes. Lewes has a number of older properties — some with original plaster walls rather than modern drywall. We work with both materials and take care to match the texture and finish of the surrounding surface so repairs blend in rather than stand out.
In most cases it's normal seasonal movement. Wood framing expands and contracts as temperature and humidity levels shift through the year, which gradually works nails loose and opens seams at joints and corners. It's common in homes of all ages and is entirely repairable — not a sign of structural failure.
Yes. Lewes has a significant second-home market, and we regularly work with out-of-state owners who need repairs handled without being present. We coordinate directly with property managers when needed and provide full documentation of completed work.
Yes. All estimates are free and come with no obligation. Once you accept the estimate, we schedule a start date and you receive a written copy of the full scope before any work begins.
