Level 5 Smooth Finishes
Since ancient times, the nicer homes had smooth walls and ceilings made of plaster. This remained true until the 20th century and the invention of gypsum board. Today, the finish of choice in many multi-million dollar homes and condominiums is gypsum board with a smooth Level 5 finish. And MAREK is the contractor of choice to perform this Level 5 finish. Luxury home builders, architects, and interior designers often request us for their highest profile projects.
Turnkey Drywall Hanging & Finishing
The wood framing that is used in the vast majority of residential construction presents unique challenges and problems. A wood stud or joist is not an engineered product, and each piece of wood behaves differently when exposed to changes in temperature and humidity. Since the Mareks hung their first house in 1938, we have been meeting these challenges and solving these problems, and we have become the premier residential drywall contractor in each of the markets we serve.
Spray Applied & Hand Trowel Textures
Textures are an important part of residential construction. Styles change over the years, and it is often possible to date a house by the type of texture on the walls and ceilings. Texture serves not only a decorative but a functional purpose. When artificial or natural light shines across a wall or ceiling surface, it can accentuate slight irregularities in the wood framing beneath the drywall. Texturing these walls and ceilings tends to break up the light, thus minimizing the slight cosmetic defects that are inherent in every wood framed job.
