Quick answer
Lulos Painting & Restoration paints and restores homes in Decatur, scheduled from the Tift St SW service office in Atlanta. Homes sold around Decatur and Druid Hills from 2020 to 2024 had a median build year of 1959, so most jobs involve plaster repair, original windows and trim, lead-safe prep on pre-1978 paint, and careful interior and exterior repaints.
Around Decatur
One of the oldest housing stocks in the metro
Decatur is the seat of DeKalb County, and its housing is old. Atlanta Regional Commission data shows homes sold in the Decatur and Druid Hills area from 2020 to 2024 had a median year built of 1959, about three decades older than homes sold elsewhere in the county.
Older houses here often have plaster walls, original wood windows and trim carrying many coats of paint. Paint applied before 1978 may contain lead, so scraping and sanding are done with containment and wet methods, and windows are reglazed rather than replaced where the sash is sound.
