Long Neck is a peninsula community on the Indian River Bay, one of the fastest-growing residential areas in Sussex County. The area has seen significant development over the past two decades, with a mix of year-round homes, seasonal properties, and active-adult communities that have transformed what was once a largely rural stretch of land into a thriving residential corridor. KD Drywall N Paint serves Long Neck homeowners with drywall repair, water damage restoration, and interior painting.
The majority of Long Neck's housing stock is relatively new construction, but newer homes generate their own repair needs — post-construction touch-ups, holes from trade work, and damage from the bay-side moisture conditions that affect all properties in the area. We handle all of it, from closing holes left by plumbers and electricians to finishing walls after kitchen and bathroom renovations.
Long Neck's proximity to the Indian River Bay means that moisture-related drywall issues are common — condensation, slow leaks, and storm damage can all affect walls and ceilings in bay-side homes. When we encounter water-damaged drywall, we assess the situation carefully: if the material is structurally sound and dry, we seal it with Zinsser BIN shellac primer and refinish; if it has been compromised, we cut it out and replace it. We also use Trim-Tex Fast Edge vinyl corner bead when replacing corner bead in areas where moisture conditions make standard metal bead prone to corrosion.
We offer free, no-obligation estimates for drywall and painting projects in Long Neck and throughout Sussex County.

A few local facts about the community we serve.
The Long Neck peninsula takes its name from a 1677 land grant in which William Burton received a warrant for one thousand acres described as 'the Long Neck' — referring to the narrow peninsula that extends into the Indian River Bay.
Indian River Bay, which borders Long Neck, is unique among Delaware's inland bays in that it is a drowned river valley — formed when rising sea levels flooded the lower portion of the Indian River — rather than an estuary built on sand bars like the state's other coastal bays.
The Long Neck area has been one of the fastest-growing residential corridors in Sussex County over the past two decades, driven by its waterfront access, proximity to the Delaware beaches, and the development of several large planned communities along the peninsula.
