Most Middletown homes were built in 2000 or later, and nail pops are largely caused by framing lumber shrinking as it dries. Pops that show up during the heating season are usually best repaired after it ends. The fix is to drive a new fastener next to the popped one, reset or remove the old one, then finish with joint compound and repaint.
