Interior Painting & Drywall Contractor Serving Calvert St. Mary's & Charles County

Interior and exterior painting, drywall hanging, and seamless repairs from an experienced, family-owned crew. A good finish is mostly prep, and we don't cut it, you'll get clean lines, disappearing patches, and a free estimate in writing before we start.

What's included in our painting & drywall service

A paint job is mostly preparation, and that's where most jobs are won or lost. As an interior painting contractor in Southern Maryland, Gray & Sons Contracting paints, hangs, finishes, and repairs drywall for homeowners across Calvert, St. Mary's, and Charles County, with the prep done properly so the finish looks right and lasts through humid summers and dry winters alike.

Interior painting

Walls, ceilings, trim, doors, and accent walls, done clean. We mask and protect floors and furniture, patch and sand before we cut in, and lay down even coats with crisp lines at every edge, the kind of finish you notice most when it's done wrong.

Exterior painting

Siding, trim, soffits, fascia, doors, and railings. We pressure clean, scrape and sand failing areas, prime bare spots, and use exterior-grade coatings built to stand up to Maryland sun, humidity, and freeze-thaw cycles off the Bay.

Drywall hanging & finishing

New drywall for additions, basements, and remodels, hung tight, taped, mudded, and sanded to a smooth, paint-ready finish. As a drywall installation crew in Charles County, we deliver level corners and seams that disappear under the first coat.

Drywall repair & patching

Drywall repair across Calvert County is some of our most-requested work: nail pops, stress cracks, dings, water stains, and the holes left behind by old fixtures or shelving. We blend every repair into the surrounding wall so the patch isn't the first thing you see when the light hits it.

Texture & popcorn removal

Matching existing wall and ceiling texture on repairs, or scraping dated popcorn ceilings and skimming them smooth. Knockdown, orange peel, or smooth, we make old and new surfaces read as one.

Cabinet & trim painting

A fresh finish on kitchen cabinets, built-ins, baseboards, and casing for a hard, smooth, factory-like look. Proper degreasing, sanding, and bonding primer so the paint actually holds up to daily handling.

Painting cost in Southern Maryland

Interior painting typically runs about $2 to $6 per square foot of floor area, or roughly $300 to $800+ per room, and drywall repairs often start in the low hundreds. Four things move the price most: the amount of prep and patching a surface needs, whether ceilings and trim are included along with the walls, the number of coats (a dark-to-light color change or fresh drywall needs more), and access, tall stairwells and vaulted ceilings take longer and more equipment. Rather than guess over the phone, we walk the rooms, talk through colors and finishes, and put the real scope in writing.

Signs it's time to paint or patch

  • Peeling, chalking, or faded exterior paint that's letting weather at the siding
  • Stress cracks, nail pops, or seams telegraphing through interior walls
  • Water stains on a ceiling or wall after a leak has been fixed
  • Dated popcorn ceilings or heavy texture you'd like gone
  • Scuffed, marked-up walls that no longer clean up
  • Tired kitchen cabinets you'd rather refinish than replace

Most of these are cosmetic today and structural tomorrow, peeling exterior paint invites rot, and an unpainted water stain hides whether the leak is truly fixed. A free walk-through tells you what actually needs doing.

Materials & brands we install

We paint primarily with Sherwin-Williams and Benjamin Moore, professional-grade lines chosen because they flow and level well, cover in fewer coats, and hold their color and sheen for years in a Maryland climate. We match the product to the surface: scrubbable finishes for kitchens and baths, hard enamels for cabinets and trim, and exterior-rated coatings that resist UV, mildew, and moisture. Right paint, right primer, right prep, that's what makes a finish last.

Areas we serve

We paint and finish homes throughout Calvert, St. Mary's, and Charles County across Southern Maryland, including Prince Frederick, Solomons, Lusby, Huntingtown, Dunkirk, Owings, St. Leonard, Leonardtown, California, Lexington Park, Hollywood, Waldorf, and La Plata. See our full service area.

Why homeowners choose us

Paint and drywall are the finishing touch on almost every project we do, and because we're a full home improvement company you're never left lining up separate trades. Fresh paint is the natural last step of an interior remodel, the same crew can set and caulk the trim and molding before it's painted, and when we lay new flooring we paint the room to match. One call, one crew, one standard from the drywall to the final coat.

Painting & Drywall FAQs

How much does interior painting cost in Southern Maryland?
Interior painting typically runs about $2 to $6 per square foot of floor area, or roughly $300 to $800 and up per room depending on size, ceiling height, and prep. Drywall repairs often start in the low hundreds. The big drivers are prep and patching, whether ceilings and trim are included, the number of coats, and any color changes. We quote the real scope in writing after we see the rooms.
Do you do the prep work, or just roll paint?
Prep is the job. We mask and protect floors and furniture, fill and sand imperfections, caulk gaps, and prime bare or patched areas before any color goes on. Skipping prep is exactly why cheap paint jobs peel and flash within a year, so it's the step we never cut.
Can you repair drywall and match the existing texture?
Yes. We patch cracks, nail pops, holes, and water-stained areas, then match the surrounding texture, knockdown, orange peel, or smooth, so the repair disappears under the finish coat instead of standing out when the light hits the wall.
Do you remove popcorn ceilings?
Yes. We scrape popcorn and other dated textures, skim the ceiling smooth or re-texture to your preference, and repaint. We contain the mess with plastic and floor protection, and on older homes we can advise on testing before disturbing any material.
What areas do you serve for painting and drywall?
Calvert, St. Mary's, and Charles County across Southern Maryland, including Prince Frederick, Solomons, Lusby, Huntingtown, Dunkirk, Owings, St. Leonard, Leonardtown, California, Lexington Park, Hollywood, Waldorf, and La Plata.
