Fogg's Painting & Home Improvements | Painters & Damage Restoration in Ledyard, CT

In Ledyard, we often see hardwood floor damage from snowmelt tracked in or from slab leaks during freeze-thaw cycles. First, we identify and stop the moisture source. Then we dry the area thoroughly using commercial-grade equipment. If the wood is cupped or stained, we sand and refinish the floors. For severe damage, we may replace affected boards. Our team also checks for mold and addresses any underlying plumbing or drainage issues to prevent recurrence.

Yes, we handle both wallpaper removal and new installation. In older Ledyard homes, wallpaper may be layered or applied directly to plaster. We use steamers and gentle solvents to remove it without damaging the walls. After removal, we repair any plaster cracks or holes before installing new wallpaper. We also offer decorative finishes like faux textures if you prefer a different look.

Historic restoration is a specialty of ours. We start with paint failure analysis to test for lead, moisture, and pH levels. Then we do any needed carpentry—like replacing rotted trim or molding—before painting. We use period-appropriate colors and finishes to maintain the home’s character. Many Ledyard homeowners qualify for preservation grants, and we’re listed with the Connecticut Trust for Historic Preservation to help with that process.
