Why is drywall repair different in Central San Diego?

Older neighborhoods like North Park, Kensington, and Normal Heights have homes with original plaster or sand-finish walls that require a skim coat rather than a simple compound fill, the existing surface has texture built up across decades of repaints. We match the finish before the first knife touches the wall.
