Know this about 20019
Wood-Frame Deanwood
Wood-frame Deanwood is the early 1900s housing built here when the area was still rural, much of it by Black carpenters and builders. The houses have wood siding outside and plaster inside.
A leak in a frame house runs along the framing and soaks plaster, subfloor and sill before it shows. The rebuild has to open more than the stain.
Why Ward 7 Calls Us
Plaster and framing after a leak
We open the wet wall, dry the framing, replace what rotted and close it up so the new section sits flush with the plaster that stays.

Garden apartment buildings around Minnesota Avenue, Benning Road and East Capitol Street turn units between tenants. DC's rental inspection checks the same items a good turn fixes.
Apartment turnoversHouse and basement unit rentals
Rental houses and basement units in Deanwood need paint, floors, fixtures and working smoke and carbon monoxide alarms before the next lease starts.
House turnoversFire and smoke rebuilds
After a kitchen fire in a frame house, smoke travels through the wall cavities. We remove what cannot be cleaned and rebuild the rooms to code.
