Decorating homes in Drogheda, Dundalk and beyond
Louth is small but busy, with commuter estates growing around Drogheda and Dundalk, older terraces and period townhouses in their centres, and stone cottages around Ardee, Carlingford and the Cooley peninsula. Many jobs are interior refreshes before a sale or a new tenancy, or first coats in new-build homes where fresh plaster needs a mist coat. Older Drogheda houses often have high ceilings, cornicing and sash windows that take more prep. Homes facing Dundalk Bay get wind and salt that wear exterior paint. When posting, list rooms and ceiling heights, note any cracks or flaking, add photos, and say whether furniture will be cleared.
