Decatur has the bones of a classic Indiana county seat — a working downtown, the St. Marys River curling past, and neighborhoods of early-1900s homes that were built to last and mostly have. Fort Wayne Drywall Co. serves Decatur and Adams County with the two skills this town asks for most: plaster-aware repair in the old stock, and moisture-smart restoration where the river, the roof, or the plumbing has left a mark.

River-Town Moisture, Handled Honestly
Between the St. Marys, spring storm cells, and hundred-year-old roofs, Decatur walls see their share of water. Our restoration rule doesn't bend: find the full extent with a moisture meter, cut back to sound material, verify the cavity is dry, and only then rebuild. A stain that's dry and firm might need nothing but sealer and paint — and when that's the case, that's what we'll tell you. The goal is walls that stay fixed, not invoices that grow.
Old Homes, Working Buildings
Decatur's housing rewards the plaster-smart approach: repair and skim what's sound, overlay or replace what isn't, and keep the original trim intact either way. We also handle the town's working spaces — shop interiors, garage build-outs, and light commercial refreshes downtown — with durable finishes and schedules that respect business hours.
