Plaster Ceiling Removal and Drywall Replacement in Hartford

Old plaster ceilings are one of those things Hartford homeowners put up with for years. The cracks get bigger. Chunks start to loosen. The whole ceiling starts to feel like it's just waiting to come down. At some point, patching it doesn't make sense anymore - you need to start fresh.

That's exactly what we did here. The existing plaster was cracked and peeling badly, so we pulled the whole thing down. That demo phase is no joke - what you're left with is a room full of broken lath, plaster chunks, and dust. We protect the floors throughout the entire process, which keeps the existing hardwood from taking any damage during what is otherwise a pretty heavy tear-out.

Once the ceiling was stripped back to the joists, we updated the insulation and prepped the framing for new drywall. This is where it pays to be thorough. Skipping the insulation update while you already have the ceiling open is a mistake a lot of contractors make. We don't skip that step. New insulation, clean framing, then the drywall goes up - hung, taped, finished, and painted.

The end result is a smooth, clean ceiling that looks like it was never a problem. No more peeling. No more cracks spreading across the room. Just a solid, updated surface that holds up and actually looks good. Our ceiling services cover the whole scope - from demo all the way through final paint.
