Living in the First Town in the First State means dealing with a unique coastal climate. In Lewes, high humidity and salt air can accelerate wear on home interiors, especially drywall and paint. KD Drywall N Paint specializes in durable, seamless drywall repair designed to withstand Delaware's coastal environment.
Moisture is the number one enemy of drywall in Lewes. Whether it's condensation issues in a beachfront property, a roof leak after a nor'easter, or a plumbing failure, water-damaged drywall loses its structural integrity. We don't just paint over stains — we cut out the compromised material, treat the framing to prevent mold growth, and install fresh, moisture-resistant drywall where necessary.

A few local facts about the community we serve.
Lewes holds the distinction of being Delaware's first settlement, established by Dutch colonists in 1631 under the name "Zwaanendael" — meaning Valley of the Swans. The original settlement was destroyed within a year, but the site was resettled and eventually became the Lewes we know today.
During the War of 1812, a British naval squadron bombarded Lewes for two days in April 1813. The town sustained surprisingly little damage, and a cannonball from that bombardment is still on display at the Zwaanendael Museum in downtown Lewes.
Lewes is home to the Cape Henlopen Lighthouse site, one of the earliest lighthouses in colonial America. The station was established in 1767, eventually collapsed into the sea in 1926 due to erosion.
