Quick answer
Lulos Painting & Restoration paints and repairs homes across DeKalb County, including Decatur, Brookhaven, Dunwoody, Chamblee and Tucker. DeKalb's median home was built in 1984, and homes sold around Decatur and Druid Hills from 2020 to 2024 had a median build year of 1959, so plaster, popcorn ceilings and lead-safe prep come up often alongside ordinary repaints.
Around DeKalb County
Older than most of the metro, with more renters
DeKalb's median home construction year is 1984, but the county is uneven. According to the Atlanta Regional Commission, homes sold in the Decatur and Druid Hills area from 2020 to 2024 had a median year built of 1959, while homes sold elsewhere in the county averaged 1990. Older homes mean plaster cracks, textured ceilings and paint layers that may include lead.
DeKalb also rents more than its neighbors. Census figures for 2019 to 2023 put its owner-occupied rate at 58.5 percent, against roughly two-thirds in Cobb and Gwinnett. For landlords and property managers that means steady turnover painting, patching and ceiling work between tenants.
