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.

Mid-century ceiling texture scraped, skimmed, and returned to smooth.
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.
Define the Scope After Water Damage
For a Decatur wall or ceiling affected by a leak, tell us where the water came from, whether the source has been addressed, and what has already been removed. Include any drying or restoration work already arranged so we can discuss where the drywall scope begins.
Ask your estimate to distinguish removal, replacement board, finishing, and texture matching. Confirm whether insulation, trim, primer, and paint are included or handled separately. Defining those boundaries makes it easier to coordinate the repair with the rest of the restoration.
Review water-damage drywall repairs before requesting your free estimate.
