Cracked plaster in an older home
Older houses move, and the plaster shows it. Here is what we see most and how we fix it.
Settling cracks
Cracks run from door and window corners and across ceilings as a house settles. We open them up, patch them and finish them flush with the wall.
Loose or crumbling patches
Old plaster can let go of its backing and sound hollow when you tap it. We remove what's loose and rebuild the area to match the wall around it.
Walls wavy from old repairs
Years of patches leave a wall uneven. A skim coat brings the whole surface back to smooth and even.
