Auburn wears its history well — a courthouse square worth the postcard, the Auburn Cord Duesenberg legacy, and street after street of solid century homes. Those houses were built beautifully and plastered by hand, and they deserve wall work done with the same care. Fort Wayne Drywall Co. serves Auburn and DeKalb County with plaster-smart repairs for the old stock and clean, modern drywall work for the newer subdivisions filling in around town.

Century Homes Need a Careful Hand
The lath-and-plaster in Auburn's older neighborhoods is often 90–110 years old — still sound in most rooms, cracked and tired in a few. Our approach is preservation-minded: repair and re-key what's solid, skim coat what's rough, and when a wall or ceiling is genuinely done, overlay it with thin drywall or replace it — explained plainly, priced honestly. The trim and door casings in these homes make careless demolition expensive; we work so we don't create the next repair.
New Auburn, Too
Auburn's newer subdivisions have the same needs as new construction everywhere in northeast Indiana: first-winter nail pops, corner cracks, builder-grade finish that could take an upgrade, and basements waiting to become real rooms. One crew handles all of it, from a one-hour repair visit to a full basement finish.
