Established Streets, Newer Sections
In Hometown Kyle, the typical call is a ceiling stain under an upstairs bathroom. The neighborhood has the feel of an established suburb with newer sections added around it, and many of its two-story homes put bathrooms and laundry rooms over living rooms and kitchens. When a wax ring, a tub drain or a washer hose fails upstairs, water runs along the floor framing and shows up as a stain below, sometimes a room away from the source.
Homes in Hometown Kyle
Most homes are slab-on-grade, with laminate, tile or carpet on concrete downstairs and drywall ceilings with texture. Matching that texture is part of every ceiling repair.
