Caring for Older Homes in Red Springs

Red Springs is a small town in Robeson County with a story that begins with its water. It was first called Dora and was renamed Red Springs in 1885, taking the name from spring and well water that ran red with iron oxide. In the mid-1800s the mineral springs drew summer visitors, and the town was incorporated in 1896.

The town was also home to Flora MacDonald College, which once stood in Red Springs; the site later housed Vardell Hall, a girls’ school. A town with that much history has plenty of older houses, and older houses call for the kind of work Martinez Construction does well: trim repair, patched plaster-era walls, fresh paint and roofs that need attention.

Red Springs is a short drive from our base in Maxton, so Jorge can easily come out for a walk-through. We handle drywall, trim, painting, roofing and remodeling, and we try to match what is already in the house rather than replace it with something that looks out of place.

Services We Provide Most Often in Red Springs

Roof Repair and Leak Repair Finding and fixing leaks in roofs that have worked through many summers.

Local Considerations for Home Work in Red Springs

Iron in the water leaves its markThe town is named for iron-tinted water. If your home is on a private well with high iron, expect rust staining on tubs, tile and grout, and choose bathroom finishes with that in mind.

Older construction needs a gentle handHouses that date back many decades often have plaster or old drywall, uneven floors and trim profiles that are no longer stocked. Matching them takes time but keeps the character of the home.

Lead paint is a consideration in older homesHomes built before 1978 may contain lead-based paint, and federal rules require lead-safe work practices when it is disturbed. Tell us the age of your house and we will talk through how that affects the job before any sanding or scraping.

Roofs here work through long summersHeat and humidity age shingles, and older roofs often show their weaknesses first at vents, valleys and flashing.

Red Springs Questions

Do you work in Red Springs?

Yes. Red Springs is a short drive from Maxton, and we take trim, drywall, painting, roofing and remodeling projects there.

Can you repair trim in an older Red Springs house?

Often, yes. We can repair the existing pieces where possible, and where they have to be replaced we look for the closest matching profile so the new work blends into the old.

My house was built before 1978. Is that a problem for painting?

It means there may be lead-based paint on older surfaces, and federal rules require lead-safe work practices when it is disturbed. Tell us the age of the house when you call, and we will explain how it affects the scope and schedule before any sanding or scraping.

Do you handle rust staining from well water in a bathroom remodel?

We can choose tile, grout and fixtures that stand up better to iron staining. Treating the water itself is a job for a water treatment specialist.
