The Ocean State's coastal air and distinct seasons can really impact how drywall behaves and how the finishing process goes. From the humid summers to the chilly, damp winters, the moisture levels here are a big factor in achieving a smooth, flawless finish that stands the test of time.
In Rhode Island, especially in areas like Providence, the salty air and the freeze-thaw cycles of winter can put unique stresses on your home's drywall.
