## Surface Refurbishment Services in Wallingford, CT

Gagnon Painting & Decorating has been maintaining painted surfaces for over 40 years. Refurbishment covers what a repaint cannot hide: water stains, smoke damage, water-damaged drywall, and textured ceilings that have cracked or debonded.

No one at Gagnon Painting & Decorating LLC is affiliated with any insurance company. We work directly for you, which is why our recommendations are independent.

## Textured ceilings are the Wallingford version of this problem

Wallingford's housing peaks in exactly the decades that produced textured ceilings. Of 19,418 units, 4,254 were built in the 1940s and 50s, with large further cohorts through the 1960s and 70s — the period when sprayed and stippled ceiling finishes were close to standard in new construction.

Those finishes fail in a specific and frustrating way. The texture debonds in patches rather than uniformly, so a small water event leaves a crater with sound texture around it. Spot-repairing is possible but the repair is usually visible, because matching a sprayed texture pattern from decades ago across a small patch is genuinely difficult. Often the honest answer is that removing the texture across the whole ceiling gives a better result than patching it.

We repair or remove textured ceilings, repair water-damaged drywall, and remove smoke odours and stains, per PDCA standard.

One important note for this housing: a ceiling in a home built before 1978 is pre-EPA-threshold, and texture removal disturbs a large painted area. That work belongs with a certified firm. We are an EPA Lead-Safe Certified Firm. We do not perform mold or fungi testing, abatement, remediation or air sampling.
