Housing spans 1970s originals through recent Baker Ranch construction. ## Drywall services in Lake Forest About 15 minutes from our Irvine office. Lake Forest divides fairly cleanly by era. The original Lake Forest areas and the Keys are largely 1970s, now at the age where popcorn ceilings, nail pops, and dated textures are the common requests. Foothill Ranch and Portola Hills are 1990s. Baker Ranch is recent construction where warranty period repairs and smooth wall preferences dominate. ## What we see in Lake Forest homes - Original 1970s Lake Forest housing frequently still has popcorn ceilings, which is one of the most common requests we get from this city. Homes of that era warrant asbestos testing before removal. - That same 1970s stock is well into its nail pop and settling crack years, and many homes are on their second or third round of cosmetic updating. - Foothill Ranch and Portola Hills 1990s housing tends toward knockdown texture that needs accurate matching on any repair. - Baker Ranch and other recent construction generates warranty period work: settling cracks and nail pops in the first couple of years, plus smooth wall preferences on remodels. ## Neighborhoods served in Lake Forest - Foothill Ranch - Portola Hills - Baker Ranch - Lake Forest Keys - Serrano Highlands - Bridgepark ## Frequently Asked Questions ### Do you serve all of Lake Forest? Yes. We cover Lake Forest in full for residential and commercial drywall work, from single patch repairs through whole house installation and commercial build outs. Our office is in Irvine, so Lake Forest is well within our normal service area. ### How quickly can you get to a job in Lake Forest? We respond to inquiries the same or next business day, and we can usually schedule an on site estimate within a few days. Urgent repairs, particularly water damage, are prioritized. Actual start dates depend on current workload, and we will give you a realistic date rather than an optimistic one. ### Do you charge extra to travel to Lake Forest? No. Lake Forest is within our standard Orange County service area and there is no travel surcharge. Our estimates are based on the scope of work, not on your postcode. ### My 1970s Lake Forest home still has popcorn ceilings. What are my options? First, have it tested for asbestos, because texture from that era may contain it. If it tests clear, you can either remove and retexture, usually with knockdown, which is the more economical route, or remove and go smooth, which requires a Level 5 finish and costs more but looks contemporary. --- **Hanenburg Drywall** 12 Elksford Ave, Irvine, CA 92604 Phone: (949) 446-1300 Email: info@hanenburgdrywall.com Hours: Mon to Fri, 8:00am to 4:00pm Serving all of Orange County with no travel surcharge.
