Berwyn Drywall Has Its Own Challenges
Berwyn's older homes have plaster and drywall mixed together. That means hairline cracks, old lathe behind the plaster and textured ceilings that are hard to match. Here's what we handle on every job.
Plaster and drywall combo
Many Berwyn homes have plaster over drywall or old lathe. Cracks run along the seams. We cut, tape and skim to make it flat.
Textured walls and ceilings
Popcorn, swirl and knockdown textures are common in Berwyn. We match the texture so the repair disappears. No one can find the patch.
Settlement cracks
Berwyn's clay soil shifts with the seasons. Cracks open at the corners. We use flexible tape and compound that moves with the house.
We check the underlying cause of every crack. If it's structural, we tell you. If it's normal settlement, we fix it and it stays fixed.
