A little local history, and why it matters for repairs
The Cherry Hill Farmhouse in Falls Church was built in 1845 and is on the National Register of Historic Places.
Plaster in houses from the 1800s was lime plaster, which needs different repairs than modern drywall. We check the wall first.
How we care for older homes in Falls Church
Inside
- We check what your walls are made of first. Plaster is not drywall, so the patch, fasteners and paint can be different.
- We mount into framing or solid masonry where we can, drill gently, and cover floors and trim.
- Paint and primer need to suit the wall and any old paint, so we check before we coat.
- Built before 1978? We flag possible lead paint and recommend proper testing and professional handling before painted surfaces are disturbed.
Outside
- Cleaning: we use gentle, tested methods and start with the mildest approach, trying it in a hidden spot first. We avoid harsh chemicals and pressure washing on older masonry and finishes.
- Vines: prune ivy rather than pulling it off the wall, since forceful removal can damage the surface. Keep vines off buildings where you can.
- Winter: rock salt and other chloride de-icers can damage old masonry. Sand is the gentler choice.

Know your walls
Plaster or drywall? A quick check before you drill
Many older homes have plaster walls, not drywall. They need different patches, fasteners and paint. Here is a simple way to tell.
How to tell plaster from drywall
- Age. Plaster was the main interior wall finish until the 1940s. Newer homes are more likely to have drywall.
- Thickness. Plaster is built up in coats and is usually thicker than drywall. Over wood strips (called lath) it is about ¾ to ⅞ inch. This is a clue, not proof.
- The back of the wall. In an unfinished attic, basement or closet you may see lumps of plaster, called keys, pushed between the lath strips. Drywall is a board of gypsum between two sheets of paper and has no keys.
- Cracks. Fine hairline cracks in random directions are common in old plaster. They often open and close with the seasons.
- Not sure? Text us a photo. We check before we drill or patch.
What to ask a handyman
- Do you identify the wall material before you drill or patch?
- What patch and anchor method do you use on plaster?
- How do you handle paint in homes built before 1978?
- How do you protect floors, trim and finishes?
