General Contractor in Lumberton, NC

Drywall, bathroom, painting and roofing work for Lumberton homes, including repairs after storms and flooding.

Building and Repairing in the Robeson County Seat

Lumberton is the seat of Robeson County and sits on the Lumber River, which has shaped the city’s history and its recent recovery. Hurricane Matthew in October 2016 and Hurricane Florence in September 2018 both flooded homes here, and the river’s rise through a gap in the city’s levee made national news.

That history is why so much of the home repair in Lumberton comes back to the same questions: how wet did the walls get, what has to come out, and how do you rebuild without hiding a moisture problem inside the wall. Drywall replacement, bathroom and floor repairs, insulation and fresh paint are the typical steps, and they have to be done in the right order.

Lumberton is a short drive from our base in Maxton, so Martinez Construction can reach the city quickly for a walk-through. We handle the construction side of repair and remodeling: cutting out damaged drywall, framing repairs, new board, finish and paint.

Services We Provide Most Often in Lumberton

Drywall Repair Cutting out water-damaged board and replacing it once the wall is dry, with texture and paint matched.

Drywall Installation and Finishing New hanging and finishing when rooms are rebuilt down to the studs after storm or flood damage.

Interior Painting Primer and paint that seals repaired walls and gives the room a clean, finished look.

Local Considerations for Home Work in Lumberton

Flooding changes the order of workAfter a flood, wet drywall and insulation come out, framing is allowed to dry fully, and any mold is treated before new board goes up. Closing walls too soon traps moisture.

Check floodplain rules before a big renovationIn mapped flood zones, local rules can add requirements for substantial repairs or improvements. Check with the Lumberton or Robeson County permit office before planning a major job.

Mold is a separate specialtyWe handle the construction side of repairs. If mold is present, a remediation specialist should treat it first, and we can rebuild afterward.

Humidity is constantEven without flooding, the river valley’s humid air makes bathroom ventilation, moisture-resistant paint and sealed exterior joints more important than in drier parts of the state.

Lumberton Questions

Do you help with flood or storm damage repair in Lumberton?

We handle the building side: removing and replacing damaged drywall, repairing framing, and finishing and painting the rebuilt rooms. Mold remediation and large plumbing or electrical repairs need separate specialists.

How soon after a flood can the walls be closed up?

Only once the framing and insulation cavity are fully dry and any mold has been addressed. Closing the walls early traps moisture. We check before we hang new drywall.

How far is Lumberton from your base?

It is a short drive from Maxton, so Lumberton jobs do not carry the travel burden of cities farther away. Call or text to set up a time.

Do I need a permit for repairs in a flood zone?

It depends on the scope and on whether your property is in a mapped floodplain. The Lumberton or Robeson County permit office can tell you what applies to your address, and we will tell you what we expect your project to require.
