Note the rooms, whether walls are drywall or plaster, the size of any damage, and the finish you want. Photos help pros quote accurately.
Homes built before 1978 may have lead paint, and older textured ceilings and patching compounds may contain asbestos. Test before anyone sands, scrapes or cuts.
How we check credentials →Compare the finish level, dust control, who fixes the cause of any water damage, primer and paint terms, and verification status, not just the bottom line.
Many older Metro Detroit homes still have plaster on wood lath, while newer homes and finished basements use drywall, and the right pro depends on which you have. Use this page to pick the service, request quotes through Find a Pro, and check the details that decide how the wall looks under paint. For painting after the repair, see painters, and for active leaks or flooding start with restoration pros.
Tell pros whether the walls are drywall or plaster, the size and location of the damage, ceiling height, and whether you want the finished surface primed or painted. For new work, give room dimensions and say whether insulation or framing is already in place.
Drywall is not listed as its own Maintenance & Alteration trade by LARA, so for paid residential work above a threshold set by state law look for a Residential Builder license and check it on the LARA lookup. Michigan allows ordinary repairs without a building permit, but finishing a basement, adding walls or removing walls usually needs one. In pre-1978 homes, disturbing painted surfaces beyond minor repair limits requires an EPA lead-safe certified firm.
Compare board type and thickness, how joints are taped, the finish level, texture matching, dust control, cleanup, and whether primer is included. Ask about asbestos testing for textured ceilings. Get every item in writing, then check verification status as described in How We Vet.
Pros serve all six counties, but any permit comes from the legal municipality, which is not always the city on your mailing address. In Detroit, building permits go through BSEED. Much of the housing in Detroit and the inner-ring suburbs is older, so plaster repair and lead-safe work are common. Browse by city or county, such as Wayne or Oakland.
