MURRAY CONTRACTORS
Specializing in drywall repair, interior and exterior painting, basement finishing, and trim services for mid-century homes throughout Murray — from Southwood and Parkway to Chavey Chase and Forest Creek.
SERVING MURRAY
Strategically situated in the heart of the Salt Lake Valley, Murray is known for its independent community spirit, tree-lined neighborhoods, and unmatched central access. From the 55-acre expanse of historic Murray Park to the bustling retail corridors around Fashion Place and the central Intermountain Medical Center, Murray offers a practical, deeply connected lifestyle.
Because much of Murray's charming housing stock is comprised of established mid-century homes, property maintenance requires contractors who understand the unique architecture and aging materials characteristic of the area. At DR Home Services, we specialize in breathing new life into older homes — whether you need seamless drywall repair after a plumbing upgrade, a complete exterior repaint that protects original wood siding from valley dust, or a modern, high-efficiency basement remodel.

Homes built in the mid-20th century — common throughout neighborhoods like Southwood, Parkway, Chavey Chase, and Forest Creek — frequently require specialized drywall and plaster attention. Upgrading aging internal infrastructure such as corroded galvanized plumbing pipes or legacy knob-and-tube wiring almost always means cutting into existing walls and ceilings.
DR Home Services provides precise, invisible drywall restoration for Murray residents facing these renovation challenges:
PAINTING SERVICES
A professional paint job is one of the most cost-effective ways to update an older Murray home while defending it against fluctuating Utah weather. Murray's historic charm calls for careful prep and premium coatings to preserve original details.
Exterior Painting & Restoration: High-pressure washing to remove valley dust and I-15 corridor pollutants, scraping flaking paint, repairing wood rot on fascia boards, and applying climate-resistant paints for brick, stucco, and classic mid-century wood siding.
Interior Repainting & Cabinet Refresh: Brighten living areas with modern, neutral tones. Our specialized cabinet painting can transform older, dark-grained kitchens for a fraction of the cost of a full remodel.
BASEMENT FINISHING
Many older Murray properties have unfinished or partially finished basements that serve as little more than cold, drafty storage. We help you dramatically increase your livable square footage:
