Why Lancaster Homes Need Drywall Repair
Lancaster, CA sits at 2,359 feet in the Antelope Valley, where July highs average 107.7 degrees and December lows average 29.7 degrees. That 80-degree swing makes the lumber behind your drywall expand and shrink every year, which is what cracks drywall seams and pops nail heads. Most of the city's housing went up between the early 1980s and the mid-2000s, as Lancaster grew from about 37,000 residents in 1977 to 173,516 in 2020. A lot of drywall in the 93535 and 93536 zip codes is now 20 to 40 years old.
That is the age where seams open and ceilings sag around old swamp cooler cutouts. Rain is rare, about 6.8 inches a year, but it arrives hard and finds every weak spot in a roof. Our drywall crew is based in Lancaster, CA and works the avenue grid from Avenue G to Avenue M every day. We go west to Quartz Hill and east past Sierra Highway. We know which Lancaster neighborhoods have knockdown ceilings and which have orange peel drywall before we arrive.
