Old plaster needs a different repair
Much of Georgetown's housing stock is more than a century old, with plaster over wood lath or directly on brick. Cracks often come from settling, seasonal movement or old fasteners. We stabilize loose areas, fill with materials suited to plaster, and blend the surface so the repair disappears.
Water stains and ceilings
Older roofs, windows and bathrooms above can leave stains or soft spots. We repair the damaged area once the source is fixed, and seal stains with a stain-blocking primer before painting so they don't bleed through.
Matching what's there
Historic walls aren't perfectly flat, and a repair that's too smooth stands out. We feather the patch to the surrounding surface and color-match paint for a seamless finish.
The Hang & Patch standard in Georgetown
Always on time. Measured twice, laser-leveled, floors protected, and no dust left behind. Every visit ends with a final walkthrough with you. Electrical work performed by licensed partners.
