Do you live in a historic home?

Restoring plaster walls in a historic home calls for the craftsmanship of a master to keep from damaging the value of your home. Unlike many drywall contractors who will convince you to remove the old plaster and trade it for a nice new, modern drywall. Yes, it may look modern, but it totally destroys your home’s historic character and value. While this is sometimes necessary when the plaster is badly damaged, it can be saved in many cases.

After all, if you’d wanted a modern home, you probably would have moved into a new home. We are in lockstep with National Park briefs on how to preserve historic homes. They strongly recommend retaining and repairing plaster wherever possible. They go on to note that it’s stronger and more durable than modern drywall, that it resists fire, and that it offers a quieter home since it’s a good buffer against sound.

Even those who are willing to try to keep the plaster, often apply it incorrectly, causing structural problems, improper curing, or moisture issues. You’ll never know until you start seeing the cracks, or evidence of water damage.

We’ve helped restore dozens of historic homes across the Boston area and know how to treat them, both inside and out.

It doesn’t matter whether your home is old or new: we’re committed to choosing the right tools and techniques for the job, and getting it done right the first time. Don’t trust your walls to just anybody. Reach out to the team with 20 years of combined experienced in-home improvement and renovations.
