Irene wrecked my drywall

Contractor for drywall and stud repair in / around DC?

I have some Irene damage to deal with - can anyone recommend a reliable, honest contractor to replace a large section of drywall and (probably) some rotten studs?

Where in dc? Sundance contracting did nice drywall and tilework for me.

Were the studs rotten before the storm damage? They're not going to become rotten from having gotten wet and then drying out.

As the others have said, rotten studs don't happen over night, but, what ever the cause it's good you are getting it checked out. Check out the small projects team at Landis Construction.

Response by poster: humboldt32: I think Saturday night's rain may have alerted me to a problem that has been going on, quietly, for a while.
